Last Saturday, actor Shia LaBeouf was caught on camera squaring up to fight a group of men outside of a pub in Edinburgh.

In the video obtained by media outlets, LaBeouf, 38, dressed in a navy blue jacket, gray pants, and a baseball cap, shouts, “Let’s go, I’m right here motherf—er!” He presumes to throw his hat on the ground and raises his fits while two other men hold him back from his prospective offender.

LaBeouf yells a few more choice words before he walks away and the video ends.

LaBeouf is in Scotland with his wife, Mia Goth, as she films a new Frankenstein movie. The two were seen at an Italian restaurant in Glasgow, earlier last month, reportedly near a filming location for the actress.

In 2014, LaBeouf was arrested for drunkenly disrupting a performance of Cabaret at New York City’s Studio 54 Broadway theatre. Three years later he was arrested again, this time in Georgia, for disorderly conduct.

This incident comes amid allegations of abuse and sexual battery, brought against LaBeouf by Tahliah Debrett Barnett, otherwise known as the British singer FKA Twigs. Barnett, 35, dated LaBeouf from 2018 to 2019 and filed a lawsuit against him in 2020, in which she accused him of sexual assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress. LaBeouf has denied “each and every allegation” of abuse, and the trial has been delayed several times.

Barnett discussed the abuse she received from LaBeouf in a 2021 interview: “He would only want me to sleep naked because he said if I didn’t then I was keeping myself from him. It’s a tactic that a lot of abusers use,” she said. “It’s just this constant availability, and everything centered around them. And I think that’s why I wanted to come out and talk about this. Because the signs really are there from the beginning.”
