Shia LaBeouf Accuses Father of Harassing Co-Stars on 2003 Film Sets

During a Transformers reunion panel at the 2026 Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, on July 11, Shia LaBeouf said his father, Jeffrey Craig LaBeouf, repeatedly “hit on” female co-stars while Shia was a teenager filming *Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle* and *Holes*. He claimed the behavior soured his relationships with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Sigourney Weaver. According to Shia, Lucy Liu “couldn’t stand my dad” and would “do these big circles around my trailer,” while Weaver allegedly “slapped him on Holes, on the Holes set.”

Jeffrey LaBeouf was convicted of attempted rape in 1981 and served a prison sentence until 1983, a fact reported by *The Sun* and confirmed by his own 2019 interview with journalist Aaron Gell. In that interview he said, “I went to the joint for attempted rape. This was in 1980. Whatever I was doing, I have no clue. I was blackout drunk.” The elder LaBeouf’s criminal record has resurfaced in media coverage of Shia’s 2019 semi-autobiographical film *Honey Boy*, which explored their complicated father-son relationship.

Representatives for Shia LaBeouf, Jeffrey LaBeouf, Lucy Liu, Sigourney Weaver, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz did not immediately respond to requests for comment. No statements from the production companies of *Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle* or *Holes* were obtained.

The allegations rely solely on Shia LaBeouf’s recollections; no corroborating testimony from the actresses or crew members was presented. Media outlets have not reported independent verification of the alleged slap or of Lucy Liu’s alleged avoidance of Jeffrey LaBeouf. The lack of response from the named parties leaves a factual gap regarding whether the incidents occurred as described.
