Shia LaBeouf Released, Immediately Joins Mardi Gras Revelry

Shia LaBeouf was released from a New Orleans jail on Thursday morning, February 19, 2026, after being arrested for a drunken bar brawl the previous night. Dressed in the same clothes, the actor was seen jogging two miles to the city center and immediately immersing himself back into the Mardi Gras celebrations, beer in hand.

Sources close to LaBeouf claim that his recent wild behavior is linked to the end of his marriage to actress Mia Goth approximately five months ago. The report indicates Goth initiated the separation due to LaBeouf's erratic conduct and frequent arguments.

LaBeouf, who had previously described Goth as his 'rock' during a stint in rehab in 2022, now faces further scrutiny. His personal life has been marked by various controversies and legal troubles, including past arrests for public intoxication and a lawsuit from a former girlfriend.

Despite his past struggles and a desire to overcome them, LaBeouf's presence in New Orleans during Mardi Gras has raised concerns among those close to him, with fears that the environment is not conducive to his recovery.
