Elsewhere in the interview, LaBeouf explained how allegations of abuse made against him in the recent years led to an estrangement with his mother, who he described as “embarrassed beyond all imagination” when the claims surfaced. “The news that had come out was like, ‘I’ve been abusive to women, I’m shooting dogs, I’ve been willing giving women STDs,'” he said, calling the accusations “depraved.”
However, according to LaBeouf, he was able to reconnect with his mom after finding “peace” through prayer and his studies at the monastery. “It was seeing other people who have sinned beyond anything I could ever conceptualize also being found in Christ that made me feel like, ‘Oh, that gives me hope,'” he explained. “I started hearing experiences of other depraved people who had found their way in this, and it made me feel like I had permission.”
