Shia is well-documented as and is self-admittedly an abrasive rear end in a top hat and alcoholic, "anger issues" (not really a meaningful term) aside. I guess the difference is that when you're a white dude in Hollywood you can make a movie about it and get away with being a walking disaster pretty much forever, even if you lose parts over it.


All this stuff with twigs happened after Honey Boy was filmed, so that movie must have just been an easy cover for him.

Shia's come across as damaged as gently caress for years. It obviously doesn't excuse anything. He has the resources to seek help, instead he's used it as some kind of lever to get artistic credibility.

It keeps going

"You're not necessarily going to end up being arrested for petty crime anymore," said Dan Schneider, the executive producer of Nickelodeon shows

quote:

Mr. Schneider noted that it seems Amanda Bynes, a star on Nickelodeon, has not had the same success as Ms. Lohan and Ms. Duff because she hasn't sexualized her image in the same way.

Yeah, it's the Dan Schneider who;
Held a contest on his shows for preteen girls to send him pictures of their feet.
Is heavily rumored to be the father of Jamie Lynn Spears baby.
Has been all but named by Amanda Bynes as the producer that raped her, the inciting incident for her heavy drug abuse and psychotic break.

My understanding from animation podcasts I listen to is one day in 2007 they had a Nicktoons marathon which nobody watched and the next day they had a just Spongebob marathon which got millions of viewers at all times so the executives just said "gently caress it don't show anything except Spongebob from now on", apart from a few new ones they get from time to time like Loud House

There's tons of clips from the 2000s and 2010s era from the live action shows that had a gently caress ton of weird feet moments, including some show/webisodes with young Arianna Grande in character sticking her feet in her mouth and sucking her own toes.

There isn't a single show he was involved with that didn't have multiple extremely questionable things around the sexualization of young girls much less all his obvious foot fetish stuff.

I think in the case of Schneider it's not that people stan him, but that a lot of the anti-Schneider discourse is coming from 4chan weirdos. Some people feel the need to believe the opposite of whatever the trolls/paranoiacs believe/claim to believe. This is misguided, of course; there's some pretty strong circumstantial evidence that Schneider is a creep.

This literally has nothing to do with sexual assault; dude's just done working with Nickelodeon. Good for him; hope he enjoys his retirement (or whatever other project he's moving onto!). Please don't conflate cases where we have actual accusers and details of incidents with cases that are just salacious internet mobs driven by hate. If Dan Schneider were a creep, we would have found out about it a long time ago; he's an extremely important media figure. Nickelodeon isn't stupid, and Paramount is no Weinstein company. That said, if anything actually bad comes out about Dan I will eat my words on this. (It's not going to; he's fine.)

You might be thinking of me. I heard, so many times, in different places, that Leto was just about to get done for MeToo, for several years. In the lead up to Suicide Squad, while it was released and afterwards too.

I actually do not doubt that he's a creep, and when stuff comes out I will not be surprised. It was just the same post over and over, sure that it was just about to happen, that ended up creating a strange pavlovian response. I'm sorry for that.

It came out that Redskins/WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM owner Dan Snyder had a 1.6 million sexual misconduct settlement against him made in secret in 2009.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/daniel-snyder-sexual-misconduct-settlement/2020/12/22/f81131d8-4339-11eb-a277-49a6d1f9dff1_story.html

The lawsuit has not been fully publicized and Snyder is fighting tooth and nail to keep it private while making up stories about why they actually fired the woman.

40 women have made sexual harassment claims while working with the team and it appears at this point to be centered around trying to use the cheerleading squad as prostitutes.

I'm very confused by the FKA Twigs/LaBeof thing. I know 100% Shia is a giant piece of poo poo manchild with obvious addiction/maturity issues. He has proven that dozens of times over the years. But why is this a lawsuit? Shouldn't Twigs be reporting his actions to the police if he sexual battered her? Why just make him pay some cash if he hurt her like that? He should be in jail if he is sexually abusing her!

Legal standards of proof are lower in a civil action, plus it's up to the prosecutor to bring criminal charges, not FKA Twigs.

It's also worth noting that while LaBeouf says some of the actions he's accused of are untrue he admits to being abusive in his past relationships.

https://nyti.ms/37Q2lXg

quote:

“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel,” he said in an email to The New York Times. “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.”

quote:

Presented with a detailed account of the claims that the women made against him, in interviews and subsequently in the lawsuit, Mr. LaBeouf, responding in a separate email, wrote that “many of these allegations are not true.” But, he continued, he owed the women “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”

He added that he was “a sober member of a 12-step program” and in therapy. “I am not cured of my PTSD and alcoholism," he wrote, “but I am committed to doing what I need to do to recover, and I will forever be sorry to the people that I may have harmed along the way.”

Double edit: I'm not positive but it also looks like the statute of limitations would be expired for criminal accusations of sexual assault, but not civil suits. There's no statute of limitations in California for rape but her accusations don't include rape.

Theres no way she wouldnt be able to file and press charges for domestic violence and sexual assault if this happened in the past few years. I believe in particular DV in CA has a 5 year reporting window. I don't doubt at all that he did all of this vile things based on his track record, but I don't understand just going after him financially. Why not put him in jail?

Double checking, statute of limitations in California is now eight years for criminal charges based on domestic violence, but when the alleged offense happened it was only three years and because of how laws work it's not retroactive to events that happened before the law was changed.

So criminal charges aren't possible regarding Shia Lebeouf's alleged treatment of FKA Twigs.

A civil suit is literally her only option aside from pretending it didn't happen.

If its a 3 year window, and it happened in 2019, she could report it. Maybe she already did and they told her to pound sand.But if she didn't report it to police, how are they going to decide whether to proceed with charges or not? I just would rather see him in jail. He has a ton of money. This wont affect him much.

Metis of the Chat Thread

The legal standard for proof is much higher in a criminal case, so there's also a greater risk that he wouldn't be convicted. This way she's more likely to get a judge to say he did do all these things, even if the money isn't of great concern to her. It's similar to Heard & Depp in that way.

Of course none of us know exactly why she's taken it to a civil suit rather than criminal, but these are all possible reasons that make it an easier and more effective route to take.
