Overview

• The documentary 'Slauson Rec,' directed by former student Leo Lewis O'Neil, uses 800 hours of footage to depict Shia LaBeouf's alleged physical violence and intense mentorship methods at his acting school.
• LaBeouf has publicly approved the release of the film despite its critical portrayal of his behavior, describing the project as an unfiltered representation of the school's dynamics.
• Footage includes a specific incident where LaBeouf allegedly shoved a student named Zeke against a wall, leaving him with visible scratches and bruises.
• The acting school, located at the Slauson Recreation Center in Los Angeles, operated from 2018 until its closure in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The documentary has reignited discussions about LaBeouf's history of abuse allegations, including an ongoing lawsuit filed by FKA Twigs, which is set for trial later this year.
