Honey Boy <\/span><\/i>is a 2019 film based on Shia LaBeouf\u2019s upbringing, including his troubled childhood, fraught relationship with his father, problems with substance abuse, violence and subsequent time in rehab. At the time of its release, the autobiographical coming-of-age drama, which LaBeouf wrote in court-ordered rehab, received Oscar buzz and critical acclaim. Its director Alma Har\u2019el praised LaBeouf for how far he\u2019d come on his journey to recovery, frequently referencing the actor\u2019s growth and deep-rooted trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honey Boy <\/span><\/i>was also where LaBeouf met his former girlfriend of a year, British musician FKA Twigs, who, last week, sued him with allegations of sexual battery<\/a>, ranging from verbal abuse to violent attacks and physical strangulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lawsuit, which also includes abuse allegations from another of LaBeouf\u2019s former girlfriends, Karolyn Pho, states, \u201cShia LaBeouf hurts women. He uses them. He abuses them, both physically and mentally. He is dangerous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding to the claims, Har\u2019el has released a statement, saying she stands in solidarity with FKA Twigs and Pho and that LaBeouf\u2019s road to recovery does not excuse any behavior of domestic violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a deep respect for FKA Twigs\u2019 courage and resilience,\u201d the statement begins. \u201cReading what she endured left me heartbroken and I stand with her in solidarity. I\u2019m sending my love to her, Karolyn Pho, all victims of domestic violence, and everyone who is trying to stop cycles of abuse.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It continues, \u201cAs a filmmaker and an artist, I am drawn to stories that help us develop empathy for the messy parts of the human condition. Like many of Shia\u2019s collaborators and fans who battled substance abuse, suffered childhood trauma, and face mental illness, I am painfully aware of my past investment in his recovery. I want to send a clear message today that none of the above should excuse, minimize, or rationalize domestic violence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Har\u2019el wrote that she is donating in Twigs\u2019 and Karolyn Pho\u2019s names to <\/span>FreeFrom<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>National Domestic Violence Hotline<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Sistah Space<\/span><\/a>. She finished, \u201cI support and encourage victims in similar situations to speak up and seek help so they can create a path to safety and the healthy relationship they deserve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9593,"featured_media":9052,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\n'Honey Boy' Director Alma Har'el Responds To FKA Twigs Shia LaBeouf Allegations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/honey-boy-director-alma-harel-supports-fka-twigs-shia-labeouf\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"'Honey Boy' Director Alma Har'el Stands In Solidarity With FKA Twigs Amid Shia LaBeouf Allegations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Honey Boy is a 2019 film based on Shia LaBeouf\u2019s upbringing, including his troubled childhood, fraught relationship with his father, problems with substance abuse, violence and subsequent time in rehab.
