Shia LaBeouf‘s alleged disorderly behavior continues. Weeks after the “Even Stevens” actor was arrested during a New Orleans Mardi Gras celebration, he’s reportedly found himself in another unfortunate situation with the city’s community members. A new report claims that LaBeouf has been allegedly harassing individuals playing tennis at the club courts across the street from his house.
Shia LaBeouf Is Being Accused Of Harassing Tennis Club Members In His New Orleans Neighborhood
According to TMZ, members at the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club were recently sent a notice warning them of a “new neighborhood resident whose continued outbursts have affected the club environment.”
An insider familiar with the situation told the outlet that the “Transformers” actor is the reported subject, claiming he normally sits on his porch, which is directly across from one of the club’s exits, and screams at members as they enter and leave the property.
Shia LaBeouf Has Reportedly Had Various Interactions With New Orleans Tennis Club Members
The source alleged that LaBeouf has had various interactions with members of the club, describing them as “hot and cold.” The insider even claimed that LaBeouf has offered to pay some members to play tennis with him and, at other times, has disrupted clinics.
While LaBeouf isn’t a member of the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the notice asked its members to ignore his alleged unruly behavior and report any future incidents to the club’s management.
To curb some of the alleged interactions with LaBeouf, the club has now limited access to the gate facing LaBeouf’s property.
Shia LaBeouf Has Intense Interaction With Police
The report of the tennis club’s notice to members also comes nearly a week after police were spotted outside of LaBeouf’s New Orleans home. In a video obtained by TMZ, LaBeouf is seen having an explosive interaction with the cops; however, it’s unclear what they were discussing.
At one point during the exchange, the “Holes” actor is heard saying, “You gotta understand who I am. I’m a target.”
Things took a sharp turn elsewhere in the clip, as LaBeouf is shown walking back-and-forth while screaming, “I have a f—-ng three-year-old!” before saying he’d been “sitting in jail for f—ing four months for punching a man.”
The video also showed LaBeouf appearing to cry while shouting, “What are you talking about? That’s why I never call you.”
LaBeouf Accused Of Using Homophobic Slurs During February 2026 Arrest
A month before this, LaBeouf had been arrested and charged with battery after allegedly hitting several people during Mardi Gras, according to AP. The actor also reportedly used homophobic language before being taken into custody.
The New Orleans Police Department stated in a report that LaBeouf had grown frustrated and became “aggressive” during Mardi Gras and reportedly punched multiple patrons at the Royal Street Inn & R Bar.
“He hit me, he connected a few times with punches, he pushed me a few times,” LaBeouf’s alleged victim, Jeffrey Damnit, said in the police report.
Damnit explained that he was wearing lipstick and other makeup before the attack and believed that was why LaBeouf allegedly reacted the way he did.
“That’s just somehow something that set him off, angered him and gave him a direction for his anger,” Damnit shared. “This guy wants me to be dead because I wear makeup. It’s a screwed up thing.”
LaBeouf Says He Has a Fear Of ‘Gay People’
LaBeouf addressed his arrest during a wide-ranging interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan. During his appearance, the actor said that the reported events of that night stemmed from his fear of gay men.
“When I’m standing by myself and three gays are next to me touching my leg, I get scared,” he said. “I’m sorry. If that’s homophobic, then I’m that. Yeah.”
LaBeouf went on to say that while he’s OK “with gay,” he admitted that “big gay people are scary to me.” He went on to say that’s what influenced his behavior, plus he was “drunk.”
“… it’s Mardi Gras. So everything I’m saying is nonsense,” he added.
Also in that interview, according to The Blast, LaBeouf opened up about his drinking and said that he didn’t believe he had a problem. “I think I have a different problem, and I’m gonna address it … I think I have a small man complex. I think it’s something that has to do with anger and ego more than my drinking,” he said.
