Yeah, except Shia later came out and said he made all the abuse he endured up to make a better movie. Still proves the point of unstable child actor though

Shia's father was in prison for rape. He was also kicked from multiple sets when Shia was a kid for inapporpiate and threatening behaviour. Even the way he denied the abuse it was him saying "I never hit Shia in the face." He's a ceritifed piece of shit and i have no doubt he was abusive.

It just seems they've recently reconnected, so Shia started to deny it because the movie wasn't an autobiographical portrayal of his life.

Oof, makes sense I suppose that Shias personal account has changed over time since trauma and abuse are so complicated/multi faceted. Agreed, his dad sounds like a POS
