Shia Labeouf Rape Claims Confirmed By #IAMSORRY Collaborator Luke Turner [UPDATED]
"Transformers" actor Shia Labeouf rape claims started in an interview of Dazed Magazine.
On their published article, the interviewer or writer of the magazine is narrating her usual life until this actor messaged her.
The intriguing rape claims started when the Daze writer asked Labeouf "Did any experiences stand out to you as particularly moving or unsettling?"
Then he answered, "One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me... There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with dishevelled hair and smudged lipstick. It was no good, not just for me but her man as well. On top of that my girl was in line to see me, because it was Valentine's Day and I was living in the gallery for the duration of the event - we were separated for five days, no communication. So it really hurt her as well, as I guess the news of it travelled through the line. When she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn't speak, so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. It was painful."
Shia's statement received backlash from the British journalist Piers Morgan, He said on Twitter "Shia LaBeouf's claim to have been 'raped' is truly pathetic & demeans real rape victims. Grow up, you silly little man." Then it was followed up by 2 ranting tweets.

A Hollywood actor sitting with a paper bag over his head who did nothing as he claims a woman 'raped' him has not been raped. #labeouf — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 28, 2014
People are actually defending Shia LaBeouf. The world's gone mad. He's invented a supposed 'rape' for cheap PR - utterly shameful.
