Was Shia Labeouf raped?

Do you believe Shia Lebeouf's claim that he was raped by an unknown woman during his performance art piece, called 'I Am Sorry'? I have thought about this a lot. First, I thought, doh, men can over power most women in a heart beat and to be raped, doesn't he have to umm, you know, get hard? And wouldn't an erection mean that he enjoyed it?

Then I realized that this dude's head is not in a good place, in many ways he seems lost and fragile to me. He told people in this performance, they could come in and do anything to him and he was not allowing himself to say one word. She whipped him and assaulted him in some sexual way. I do believe that. Women are, on some occasion, as perverse as male perverts, though we all know, male perverts dominate the market. Anyhow, this fucked in the head dude, who has been exposed all over the net as a plagiariser (how humiliating) and who has some personal problems anyhow, is sitting in this crazy scene, and yeah, I see a whip there, and this female nut-ball comes in and starts doing her thing..and then, unzips him and pow. I've decided he didn't have to be hard to be raped. Maybe she had a 'hot dog down the hallway' problem and just, you know, snuck it in. Hard, soft, it doesn't matter really. Maybe this, maybe that. It was assault. This dude should have screamed and fought when she unzipped him, but, maybe he honestly didn't see it coming. Maybe those girls Cosby assaulted should have screamed and fought. Some did, but, is it fair to say they didn't fight hard enough? Or they shouldn't have drank those doped drinks he gave them? Woulda, shoulda, coulda. None of it matters, only that we support victims of sexual assault and realize they don't owe us explanations or details. They owe that to the court system, if the predator is caught. But, not to us. No is no and no one has the right to take what they want from another person. Sometimes, being speechless can be understood to mean no. No. Such a simple word. Or look. Or movement. Let's throw it all out. He didn't tell her she could do those things and she knew that wasn't the deal.

So, I am coming out as a supporter of Shia Lebeouf and saying, straight out, yes, I believe he was raped. I believe it should have been reported sooner or they (his management) should have had a camera on him for safety and evidence. He should have had better security. What the hell were they thinking? BUT, I highly disagree that this 'I Am Sorry' stunt was performance 'art'. It was stupid and has been done many times before by many and has resulted in other assaults. If you remember, Yoko Ono did this same sort of performance art many, many years ago, when she let members of the audience come up with sharp scissors and cut her dress off while she sat morosely. It was chilling. Look it up. So, in my eyes, Shia's performance is more plagiarism and just another absurd antic of his, like the paper bag over the head on the red carpet. It is not 'art'. You can't copy the Mona Lisa over again and call it art. I am tired of people calling everything 'art' anyway, but, a blatant copy can not be and will never be 'art'. So, he should not have been there in the first place. BUT, that doesn't matter does it? We would never say that to a woman who was raped. And I won't blame him for his own sexual assault. It wasn't art, but, it WAS rape. You don't have to agree with me, believe me, I had to think on it awhile, but, anyway, this is just my opinion.


I really hope he gets the help he needs to get his head straight after this. Rape, in any form, is gross, humiliating, scary and it fucks with your head for years..or forever. No one deserves that and no one should go unpunished for it.
