Shia LaBeouf Apologizes for Rant That Got Him Arrested

Shia LaBeouf has apologized for the racist remarks he made when he was arrested on suspicion of obstruction, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness in Savannah, Georgia, on July 8.

"I am deeply ashamed of my behavior and make no excuse for it. I don't know if these statements are too frequent, or not shared often enough, but I am certain that my actions warrant a very sincere apology to the arresting officers, and I am grateful for their restraint. The severity of my behavior is not lost on me," LaBeouf, 31, wrote on social media on Wednesday, July 12.

"My outright disrespect for authority is problematic to say the least, and completely destructive to say the worst. It is a new low. A low I hope is a bottom," he continued. "I have been struggling with addiction publicly for far too long, and I am actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety and hope I can be forgiven for my mistakes."
