Shia LaBeouf Claims Sigourney Weaver Slapped His Dad for Hitting on Her

Shia LaBeouf claimed that Sigourney Weaver slapped his dad, Jeffrey Craig LaBeouf, for hitting on her when they worked together on the 2003 movie Holes. While attending the Fanboy Expo fan convention in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Saturday, July 11, one fan asked Shia about his "experience" of working with Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu on 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Shia responded by admitting that his father ruined his relationships with the actresses, alleging that his dad "was hitting on all three of those women all the time." Shia alleged that Jeffrey's behavior got so out of hand that Liu would actively avoid Shia's father onset. Shia then said that there was a similar situation on the set of Holes with Weaver. "My dad's been kicked off of so many sets, dude," he said. "He hit on Sigourney Weaver one time. She slapped him on Holes, on the Holes set." Shia was a teenager while filming both movies, meaning he had to have an adult supervisor with him on set. Reps for Liu, Weaver and Shia did not immediately respond to Us' request for comment regarding the claims. Jeffrey was previously convicted of attempted rape in 1981 and served time in prison until 1983. Shia has been open about his complicated relationship with Jeffrey in the past, and their dynamic even served as inspiration for his semi-autobiographical 2019 movie Honey Boy. However, Shia later said it was "f***ing nonsense" to depict his father as abusive in the movie while appearing on Jon Bernthal's "Real Ones" podcast in August 2022.
