Following the recent arrest of Shia LaBeouf during Mardi Gras festivities, his former partner Mia Goth is reportedly urging the actor to seek professional help.
The actress is said to be hoping for a positive change in LaBeouf’s life, specifically hinting at him returning to rehab to address ongoing personal challenges.
The call for improvement comes as the 39-year-old actor faces new legal troubles in New Orleans.
His mugshot was released Friday by the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office after he was taken into custody on Feb. 17.
Authorities charged him with two counts of simple assault after an alleged confrontation at the Royal Street Inn & R Bar in the French Quarter.
According to reports, the situation began early Monday night when the actor allegedly used homophobic slurs inside the venue.
The situation has clearly caused concern for Goth, who split from LaBeouf about a year ago.
The couple, who have had a long and often turbulent history since meeting in 2012, share a three-year-old daughter named Isabel.
While LaBeouf has previously been open about his journey with sobriety and his recent conversion to Catholicism, this latest incident suggests he may still be struggling.
A few days before the arrest, the actor had shared a rare selfie of himself enjoying the carnival festivities.
He later posted a short “Free me” message to social media following his release from prison.
But with a court hearing now scheduled for March 19, those close to him reportedly hope he chooses a path to recovery over further controversy.
