Piers Morgan Slams Shia LaBeouf for Rape Claims

British journalist Piers Morgan slams actor Shia LaBeouf, saying that the actor was 'demeaning real rape victims' after the latter made claims that he was 'raped' earlier this year.

Previously, LaBeouf made revealing claims that during Valentine's Day of this year, shortly before his girlfriend Mia Goth visited him, a female stranger attacked and raped him in front of many people. He revealed said claims in a magazine interview just recently.

However, the 28-year old 'Transformers' star's claims made Morgan angry and taken to Twitter to slam him last Friday, November 28.

On his post, the journalist cited that LaBeouf's claim that he has been 'raped' is 'pathetic'. In addition, Morgan stated that the actor is demeaning people who have suffered from being raped.

"Grow up, you silly man," Morgan wrote.

During the art installation in Los Angeles where LaBeouf claimed that he has been raped, he wore a paper bag over his head and invited fans to say and do whatever they wanted to him while he sat on a chair silently. He then went on to explain how it happened.

"One woman whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me," LaBeouf told a magazine. He then added that said woman walked back to her boyfriend who was also present at the event, saying that he could imagine how hurt the boyfriend must have been.

"All this happened in front of hundreds of people. It was really terrible."

As for this, Morgan posted another tweet, saying, "A Hollywood actor sitting with a paper bag over his head, who did nothing as he claims a woman 'raped' him, has not been raped."

Furthermore, the journalist criticized the people who defended the 'Even Stevens' actor, claiming that the world has 'gone mad'. Morgan also accused LaBeouf of inventing a story for a publicity stunt which he dubbed 'utterly shameful'.
