HOLLYWOOD MELTDOWN: Jesse Watters Exposes the Liberal Actor Who Unleashed a Shocking Airport Lounge Tirade
Fox News host Jesse Watters has shared an unexpected celebrity encounter that left him stunned—and a bit insulted. During an interview with acclaimed playwright and director David Mamet, Watters recounted the moment Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf hurled a vulgar insult at him in an airport lounge several years ago.
The Airport Lounge Incident
Watters, known for his candid style on Fox News, revealed, “Well, Shia LaBeouf told me to go F myself at a Delta lounge at the airport a couple years ago.” The host then playfully asked Mamet, who recently cast LaBeouf in his new film “Henry Johnson,” to pass along a greeting: “So tell him I said ‘Hi.’ Will you do that for me?”
This wasn’t the first time Watters discussed the encounter. On Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” he previously stated that LaBeouf called him “trash, right in front of my kids,” as reported by the Daily Mail.
Shia LaBeouf’s Recent Life Changes
Since the incident, LaBeouf, 39, has undergone significant personal changes. The “Transformers” and “Honey Boy” star has converted to Catholicism, a transformation marked by a ceremony conducted by Capuchin Franciscan friars. LaBeouf has also become a father, sharing daughter Isabel with his wife, fellow actor Mia Goth.
Legal Drama with FKA Twigs
LaBeouf’s renewed focus on family and faith comes after a turbulent period in his personal life. His ex-girlfriend, musician FKA Twigs (real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett), recently dropped her abuse lawsuit against him. The “Two Weeks” singer filed to dismiss the case on July 18, just months before a trial was set to begin in September, according to Page Six.
In a joint statement, LaBeouf and Twigs expressed mutual goodwill: “While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future.” Twigs had previously accused LaBeouf of sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress during their year-long relationship, which began on the set of the 2019 film “Honey Boy.”
Hollywood, Redemption, and Reputations
The airport lounge incident between Watters and LaBeouf is just one chapter in the actor’s complicated public life. As LaBeouf embraces fatherhood and faith, and moves past legal battles, his name continues to spark headlines—whether for his performances, personal controversies, or surprising run-ins with public figures like Jesse Watters.
In the world of celebrity and media, chance encounters can quickly become headline news—especially when they involve two outspoken personalities at odds.
