Shia LaBeouf Apologizes For Shocking Racial Rant

Shia LaBeouf has issued a groveling apology after police body cams caught him in a racial rant against the cops who arrested him in Georgia!

"I am deeply ashamed of my behavior and make no excuses for it," said Shia — adding: "I have been struggling with addiction publicly for far too long, and I am actively taking steps for securing my sobriety." That's after The ENQUIRER caught Shia following a rehab stint with getting drunk in May!

Shia was raised in poverty with a father who was a heroin addict and drug dealer — and the troubled former child star has a tattoo on his wrist that reads "1986- 2004" as a reminder of his troubled past.

"It reminds him of just how lucky he's been, "an insider told The ENQUIRER in 2008. But then the "Transformers" star was arrested that same year for drunk driving in West Hollywood.

Shia's downward spiral then began in earnest after he was arrested in 2014 for drunken behavior following an outburst during a Broadway performance of “Cabaret” in New York City. That humiliating outburst had him seeking help at an alcohol rehab facility in Hollywood.

He was arrested again in Texas for “public intoxication” in 2015 — and in 2017, Shia was arrested again in New York during his own art exhibit at “The Museum of the Moving Image” — after he shoved a man attending Shia's public art display titled “He Will Not Divide Us,” where the star was protesting President Trump.

But now even Shia has been caught in what he admits is "a new low" — as the star pleads: "The severity of my behavior is not lost on me," and "I hope I can be forgiven for my mistakes!"
