Yikes. Shia LaBeouf claims a woman raped him during his silent art project #IAMSORRY last February. In an interview with Dazed Digital, the Fury
actor, 28, said a woman took advantage of him while checking out the
installation, in which LaBeouf allowed visitors to sit across from him
in complete silence in a room at the Cohen Gallery in Los Angeles.

“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,” the actor claimed in the interview
when asked if anything “unsettling” happened.

“There were hundreds of people
in line when she walked out with disheveled hair and smudged lipstick.
It was no good, not just for me but her man as well. On top of that my
girl [Mia Goth] 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,”
he added. “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.”
LaBeouf’s installation came after he showed up to his Berlin premiere of Nymphomaniac wearing a brown paper bag on his head which read: “I am not famous anymore.”

According to a reporter at Vulture
who attended the exhibit, visitors were asked to pick a prop -- a
bullwhip, pink ukelele, bowl of Hershey kisses and other unusual objects
-- before entering the room alone with the star, who wore the similar
paper bag over his head.
