LaBeouf’s collaborators confirm rape
Shia LaBeouf shocked the internet last week after his interview in which he revealed that he was raped during his #IAMSORRY performance art project last year.
Piers Morgan decided to go onto his Twitter and repeatedly question the actor’s allegations tweeting that LaBeouf’s claim to “have been raped” is “truly pathetic and demeans real rape victims."
Does anyone know Shia LaBeouf’s alleged ‘rapist’? I’d be very interested to talk to her.

Following the series of tweets, LaBeouf’s collaborators responded to Morgan’s claims and have come out to corroborate LaBeouf’s story.
One of the artists involved in the exhibition was Luke Turner, who alongside Nastja Sade Ronkko, collaborated with LaBeouf on the #IAMSORRY project, took to his Twitter to respond to and address the sexual assault. He replied directly to Morgan in a series of tweets.

Nowhere did we state that people could do whatever they wanted to Shia during #IAMSORRY.

As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left.

@piersmorgan It wasn’t clear at the time precisely what had happened, & the 1st priority was to ensure everybody’s safety in the gallery…1/2

@piersmorgan She ran out, rather than simply walking away. Beyond that, it’s not my place to comment. 2/2
