Shia LaBeouf’s comeback campaign has seemingly begun. His first film in two years—since the allegations actor/artist FKA Twigs (real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett) made against him about mental, physical, and violent abuse—“Padre Pio” directed by Abel Ferrara, is about to premiere at Venice and LaBeouf, who has been mostly quiet ever since the accusations, is finally breaking his silence.

Shia LaBeouf claimed his ex, FKA Twigs, saved his life amid a massive "perspective shift" which included his pursuit of converting to Catholicism, 627 days of sobriety and becoming a father nearly two years after she filed a lawsuit against the "Transformers" actor for sexual battery, assault and the infliction of emotional distress. During a recent interview released Thursday on YouTube with Word on Fire Catholic Ministries' Bishop Robert Barron, LaBeouf discussed the incredible transformation he saw within himself as he delved into researching the late mystic St. Padre Pio, whom the actor portrays in the upcoming movie.

Shia LaBeouf has seemingly credited his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs with "saving (his) life" by going public with sexual battery allegations against him. In December 2020, the British singer-songwriter filed a lawsuit against her Honey Boy co-star in Los Angeles in which she accused him of sexual battery, battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress. In the lawsuit, FKA Twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, claimed that Shia was abusive during their relationship between 2018 and 2019.

Shia LaBeouf makes his acting comeback at the Venice Film Festival this year in Abel Ferrara’s “Padre Pio.” That makes LaBeouf’s term as persona non grata in the movie industry after his ex-girlfriend Tahliah Barnett (aka FKA Twigs) sued him for sexual battery and assault less than two years.

Nobody wants to talk to me, including my mother. The manager’s not calling.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Abel Ferrara says casting Shia LaBeouf as Padre Pio, the Italian monk who gained rock-star status among the Catholic faithful, coincided with a point in the actor’s life “where he connected very deeply with Pio’s journey in the film.” “Padre Pio,” which is among titles set to launch next week from the Venice Film Festival’s independently run Giornate Degli Autori, will see LaBeouf back on the big screen after the actor — best known for his roles in the Transformers and Indiana Jones franchises — took a break from acting in 2020 following allegations made by his ex-girlfriend Tahliah Debrett Barnett.
