FOX News host Jesse Watters claimed that actor Shia LaBeouf cursed him out at an airport lounge during an incident in 2019.
Watters, 47, was interviewing playwright and director David Mamet, who cast LaBeouf, 39 to star in his 2025 film Henry Johnson on Tuesday (August 5) when he revealed the alleged altercation.
“Well, Shia LaBeouf told me to go F myself at a Delta lounge at the airport a couple years ago,” Watters said.
“So tell him I said ‘Hi.’ Will you do that for me?” he added.
Watters had previously claimed that LaBeouf called him "trash, right in front of my kids," while appearing on The Ingraham Angle, according to the Daily Mail.
LaBeouf has since been confirmed into the Catholic Church, which reportedly followed his experience playing the lead role in the 2022 film Padre Pio and shares a daughter with wife and actress Mia Goth. The actor was previously accused by ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs of abuse, which was set to begin trial in September, before the singer filed to dismiss the case last month last month.
“While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future,” a joint statement from the former couple obtained by the New York Post states.
