Shia LaBeouf’s estranged wife Mia Goth appears unbothered at 2026 Actor Awards amid his battery arrests

Mia Goth was spotted at the 2026 Actor Awards in her first red carpet appearance since estranged husband Shia LaBeouf’s second battery arrest in just 10 days. 

The 39-year-old actor was booked into a New Orleans jail on Saturday on a misdemeanor battery charge, stemming from a Mardi Gras bar fight earlier this month.

LaBeouf had initially been arrested on February 17 over the same altercation and later posted a $100,000 bond. He is now required to check into rehab and undergo regular drug and alcohol testing.

Just hours before his latest booking, LaBeouf gave his first interview since the brawl, making a series of bizarre claims – including that he felt ‘scared’ when approached by three gay men on Fat Tuesday.

‘Big gay people are scary to me,’ LaBeouf said bluntly during the hour-long interview.

Amid all the drama, Goth, 32, who split from the Transformers star last year after nine years of marriage, dazzled at the Hollywood event on Sunday.

The scream queen, who shares three-year-old daughter Isabel with LaBeouf, appeared unbothered as she rocked a stunning lace gown with a plunging neckline for the star-studded soiree.

Just hours earlier, Goth stepped out in a casual floral miniskirt and white sleeveless top in downtown LA.

She looked relaxed and confident in oversized sunglasses and flip-flops.

The couple first sparked romance in December 2012 after meeting on the set of Nymphomaniac: Vol II, eventually tying the knot in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony in 2016.

Their relationship was far from smooth.

In 2015, cameras caught the pair in the middle of a fiery argument, and by 2018 they had officially split. 

A source at the time told Page Six, ‘Shia and Mia have filed for divorce. The separation is amicable, and all details pertaining to the divorce proceedings will remain private.’

The couple reconciled in 2020, and in 2022 it was revealed that Mia was pregnant. The actress gave birth to Isabel in March of that year.

During one of their periods apart, LaBeouf briefly dated singer FKA Twigs in 2019.

That relationship ended in a high-profile legal battle, with Twigs accusing the actor of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, as well as knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted disease – allegations he has denied.

The lawsuit sought $10 million in damages for alleged sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress. 

By July, it was announced that the pair had settled privately, with Twigs requesting that all claims against LaBeouf be dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be reopened. 

Attorneys for both sides confirmed the matter was resolved confidentially.

In Saturday’s Channel 5 interview, LaBeouf shocked viewers with his outlandish and often controversial statements. 

Among them was a claim that he felt ‘scared’ when approached by three gay men on Fat Tuesday.

‘Big gay people are scary to me,’ LeBeouf said plainly during one part of the hour-long conversation with Callaghan. ‘When I’m standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared. I’m sorry. If that’s homophobic then I’m that.’

He also explained about the altercation, ‘I was drunk and then I felt infringed upon in terms of my proximity. But I wasn’t in my right mind, and so it’s on me.’ 

And he took accountability for reportedly using a gay slur, admitting, ‘I said words not ok to say. I don’t want to hurt nobody’s feelings… I’m wrong for what I did.’

The Channel 5 interview was conducted on February 24, one week after Fat Tuesday, but published days later on February 28.

On Friday LaBeouf was issued a new warrant related to his February 17 arrest.

Sources told WWL Louisiana that the warrant involves an additional victim from the same fight.

Eyewitnesses previously alleged LaBeouf became increasingly aggressive at a business and was escorted out by staff, at which point he allegedly struck one man multiple times with closed fists.

Authorities said the situation escalated when LaBeouf returned to the scene and allegedly assaulted the same victim again before punching a second man in the nose. 

He  posted a $100,000 bond on Thursday after making a court appearance. 

The actor is now required to check into rehab and undergo regular drug and alcohol testing.

LeBeouf told Callaghan he relocated to New Orleans, where he has deep family roots, following the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025.

LaBeouf detailed some family history elsewhere in the thorough interview. 

He explained that his paternal grandmother was a lesbian who married a man who served as her ‘beard,’ a partner meant to publicly disguise someone’s homosexuality.

His last name was originally spelled LeBoeuf but the spelling was changed by his grandmother in an effort to distance herself from her family, who had disowned her. 

Speaking on the subject of homosexuality, he clarified: ‘I’m good with gay. Be gay over there though. Don’t be gay in my lap.’

In the wide-ranging interview, the movie star briefly discussed the demise of his marriage to Goth.

‘It’s not new heartbreak. I don’t want to talk too much about it. It’s not my story alone to tell, but my side is I failed my marriage, so I had to own up to that. So that’s why I moved out here,’ he said.
