Isn't he sick of saying sorry at this point?
Shia LaBeouf is apologizing after going on a racist rank while being arrested in Georgia for public intoxication, suspicion of obstruction, and disorderly conduct 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," he wrote on social media on Wednesday.
"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. 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," he added.
The actor has long had problems with booze and the law. In fact, he's been arrested nine times over the years! Not all of them have been related to the bottle, though! He was detained in 1996 and 1998 for stealing, before he shot to fame with the Disney show Even Stevens. He was pulled over for drunk driving in 2008, and got cuffed after a bar fight in 2011. He was also taken into custody in 2014, 2015, and 2017 for alcohol-related offenses.
This guy really needs to sober up and keep himself out of trouble!
