Shia LaBeouf has addressed his Mardi Gras arrest with a brief social media message hours after being released from jail<\/p>\n

He appeared before a judge that afternoon and was released from Louisiana\u2019s Orleans Parish Prison. <\/p>\n

Breaking his silence on the incident on Wednesday (18.02.26) he posted on X: \u201cFree me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shia also shared a close-up selfie showing himself smiling in black sunglasses, draped in purple, gold and green necklaces associated with the Mardi Gras festival.<\/p>\n

The post marked his first activity on the platform since December 2025, when he shared an image of a large back tattoo depicting his and former partner Mia Goth<\/a>\u2019s three-year-old daughter, Isabel. <\/p>\n

\nAccording to the Daily Mail, Shia walked two miles to the Mardi Gras parade route after leaving prison and stopped at the VooDoo Mart to buy clothes to change into. <\/p>\n

\nHe was later seen drinking beer as he rejoined the crowds.<\/p>\n

\nEmployees at several bars told The Hollywood Reporter the \u201cinebriated\u201d actor had been \u201cterrorising\u201d the city since last week. <\/p>\n

\nFootage circulated online appeared to show Shia being punched in the street and later treated by paramedics.<\/p>\n

\nHis arrest comes amid reports about his personal life. <\/p>\n

\nPage Six reported his relationship with Mia Goth, 32, ended quietly last year. <\/p>\n

\nIt is unclear whether Shia and Mia, who had been together on and off since 2012, are divorced. <\/p>\n

\nThe pair share their daughter, Isabel, who is three.<\/p>\n

\nShia has previously spoken publicly about struggles with sobriety. <\/p>\n

\nFollowing his court appearance on Tuesday, he returned to the festivities in New Orleans. <\/p>\n

\nAccording to reports, he has recently moved to Louisiana to be closer to family members, while Mia continues to live in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\nNo further statement has been issued by Shia beyond his social media post.<\/p>\n

\nShia rose to fame as a child star on Disney Channel\u2019s Even Stevens before moving into film with roles in Holes and the Transformers franchise. <\/p>\n

\nHe has since taken on independent projects, stage work and performance art, while publicly confronting legal issues and struggles with sobriety.<\/p>\n
