Mia Goth Makes First Public Appearance Since Shia LaBeouf Split Revelation
Mia Goth has been seen for the first time since it was revealed her marriage to actor Shia LaBeouf ended last year, following his recent arrest in New Orleans during Mardi Gras celebrations. The 32-year-old actress cut a casual figure in Los Angeles this week, wearing a navy coat and red hat before enjoying a horse riding session in the California sunshine.
LaBeouf's Chaotic Mardi Gras Incident
The Transformers star, 39, was arrested early Tuesday morning after allegedly assaulting two men during a bar brawl in the French Quarter. According to New Orleans Police Department reports, LaBeouf struck a staff member multiple times with closed fists after being asked to leave the Royal Street establishment, then returned to punch another person in the nose.
Witness Jeffrey Damnit told TMZ that LaBeouf had been at the bar since approximately 5 PM, where he allegedly threatened another patron and later attempted to bite the bar manager while using offensive language. The actor was eventually restrained by multiple people until police arrived and was taken to hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries before being booked on two charges of simple battery.
Nine-Year Relationship Timeline
The couple's relationship spanned nearly a decade with multiple separations and reconciliations:
- December 2012: Began dating after meeting on the set of Nymphomaniac: Vol II
- 2015: Filmed having an explosive public argument
- 2016: Married in a Las Vegas ceremony
- 2018: Initially filed for divorce in what sources described as an amicable separation
- 2020: Reconciled after two years apart
- 2022: Welcomed daughter Isabel in March
- 2024: Relationship ended after nine years of marriage
Previous Legal Troubles and Abuse Allegations
This arrest represents the latest in a series of legal issues for LaBeouf, who has faced multiple charges over the past decade:
- 2014: Arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespass at Studio 54 in New York City during a Broadway performance
- 2015: Arrested for public intoxication in Austin, Texas
- 2017: Arrested twice - first for an altercation at his anti-Trump art installation in Queens, then for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in Savannah, Georgia
- 2020: Faced misdemeanor battery and theft charges in Los Angeles
Most significantly, singer FKA Twigs (Tahliah Debrett Barnett) filed a high-profile lawsuit in December 2020 accusing LaBeouf of sexual battery, assault, emotional abuse, and knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted disease during their 2018-2019 relationship. The lawsuit sought $10 million in damages.
LaBeouf denied the allegations but acknowledged accountability for some behavior, stating in a public response that he owed the women "the opportunity to air their statements publicly." The case was settled out of court in July 2025, with both parties issuing a joint statement wishing each other "personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future."
Goth's Life-Saving Influence
Despite their tumultuous relationship, LaBeouf has previously credited Goth with saving his life. During an appearance on the REAL ONES podcast, he emotionally revealed that "she gave me hope when I was really running on fumes," describing her as having "saved [his] f*****g life."
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both LaBeouf and Goth for comment regarding their separation and the recent arrest. Footage from the night of LaBeouf's arrest showed the actor with a T-shirt over his head, exposing his back tattoo, and blood on his arm before being placed on a stretcher in an ambulance.
As Goth moves forward with her life in Los Angeles, LaBeouf faces potential legal consequences from his latest arrest while the entertainment industry processes another chapter in the actor's troubled history.
