Shia LaBeouf’s Performance Art Collaborators Speak Out About Rape Allegations

If that headline is every shade of NO for you, take in a video of baby bat burritos instead.

When Dazed posted Shia LaBeouf’s fucked up story about how he was allegedly raped by a crazy bitch during his performance art piece #IAMSORRY, lots of questions came up. Shia said that the woman came into the room and whipped him a bunch of times before raping him. Shia’s collaborators Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö (Side note: The world is out of umlauts, because Nastja took them all for her name) spoke up this morning and said that it happened. They also answered a few questions.

In my post about this, I said that people waiting in line were told they could do whatever they wanted while in the room with Shia. Nastja said on Twitter (via The Guardian) today that people weren’t told they could do whatever they wanted and she also said that they were the ones who stopped what was happening to Shia.

“A couple of important clarifications about our #IAMSORRY project earlier this year: Nowhere did we state that people could do whatever they wanted to Shia during #IAMSORRY. As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left.”

Noted butt plug Piers Morgan got a lot of shit thrown at him for saying that Shia is “insulting real victims” by making up rape claims for attention. Piers has gone on and on about how he thinks Shia is lying. Piers is really trying to get to the bottom of it (read: get as much attention as possible), so he asked Luke Turner why they didn’t call the police. Luke Turner said that they weren’t sure what happened at first.

“It wasn’t clear at the time precisely what had happened, & the 1st priority was to ensure everybody’s safety in the gallery. She ran out, rather than simply walking away. Beyond that, it’s not my place to comment.”

I still have a millions questions, but I’m sure a few will be answered when Law & Order: SVU airs an episode about this and you know they will. They probably cut short their Thanksgiving break to shoot it right away. If you’re a butt plug with a SAG card, call your agent now before they cast the Piers Morgan role. It’s a role you were born to play.
