Shia LaBeouf Reports Daily Alcohol Use Despite Court-Ordered Treatment

The 40-year-old actor remains compliant with the terms of his sentence, which includes ongoing anger management and substance abuse sessions. Despite these requirements, his self-reported daily drinking habits and his refusal to undergo mental health treatment create a stark contradiction to his previous public assertions. Earlier this year, LaBeouf told journalist Andrew Callaghan that his behavior stemmed from ego and insecurity rather than substance dependence, explicitly questioning the necessity of rehab.

His legal situation stems from a February incident in New Orleans where he was accused of attacking multiple people and using homophobic slurs. After pleading guilty to three counts of simple battery in June, he received a six-month suspended sentence. While he is expected to finalize his court-mandated treatment by September, his continued alcohol consumption remains a point of contention for both legal supervisors and those close to him, including his estranged wife, Mia Goth, who had previously urged him to seek help. LaBeouf is scheduled for a follow-up hearing on September 23, though he is expected to be absent due to film commitments.
