Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf entered a guilty plea on Wednesday to three simple battery charges following a violent confrontation outside a New Orleans establishment during February’s Mardi Gras celebration.<\/p>

Court records did not immediately show sentencing information, and representatives for LaBeouf have not responded to requests for comment.<\/p>

Footage from the February 17 incident captured LaBeouf without a shirt pushing one individual to the ground and striking another person in the face, “causing his nose to possibly dislocate,” according to New Orleans police documentation.<\/p>

Local performer Jeffrey Damnit, identified by police as Jeffrey Klein in their report, confirmed he was among those assaulted by LaBeouf.<\/p>

“He hit me, he connected a few times with punches, he pushed me a few times,” Damnit told The Associated Press earlier this year.<\/p>

According to Damnit, LaBeouf “just got nuts” attempting to provoke fights and threatening to assault the entertainer and others present. Damnit also described how LaBeouf had shoved him from behind inside the establishment earlier that evening while yelling homophobic slurs and making death threats.<\/p>

Damnit and other patrons restrained LaBeouf and attempted to convince him to leave, but he refused to depart and became increasingly hostile, both Damnit and police records indicate.<\/p>

Following LaBeouf’s February charges, a judge mandated his return to substance abuse treatment.<\/p>

The actor has faced multiple legal troubles throughout his career, including a 2017 arrest in New York City on assault allegations during a live internet broadcast.<\/p>

While filming “The Peanut Butter Falcon” in Georgia that same year, he faced arrest for public intoxication and was accused of disorderly conduct and obstruction, resulting in probationary sentencing.<\/p>

Los Angeles authorities charged him with misdemeanor battery and petty theft in 2020.<\/p>

That same year, English performer FKA Twigs, legally named Tahliah Barnett, filed litigation claiming LaBeouf subjected her to physical and emotional abuse during their romantic relationship, which they resolved through settlement this past July.<\/p>

LaBeouf initially rose to fame as a young performer on Disney Channel’s “Even Stevens” and continued working consistently as an adult. His most recognized performances include roles in 2007’s “Transformers” and 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
