<p><em>Honey Boy</em> actor Shia LaBeouf has opened up about the abuse allegations that have disgraced his career.</p>.<p>On Jon Bernthal's podcast <em>Real Ones</em>, the actor addressed the disturbing accusations of sexual battery and physical and verbal abuse brought against him by English songwriter-singer FKA Twigs in a 2020 lawsuit, reports <em>Variety</em>.</p>.<p>According to <em>Variety</em>, LaBeouf dated FKA Twigs for roughly a year after they met on the set of his 2019 film <em>Honey Boy</em>.

"Like crash and burn type s***. (I) hurt a lot of people, and I'm fully aware of that. And I'm going to owe for the rest of my life." LaBeouf later said that he has a "long list of people that I need to make amends to."</p>.<p>During the interview, LaBeouf admitted to "cheat[ing] on every woman I've ever been with" and never telling his "sexual partners about getting cold sores," which he acknowledged was "manipulative".</p>.<p>LaBeouf discussed being in a better headspace now, saying that when the allegations first went public, he "wanted to hit Twitter and be like, 'Look, I got receipts.'" Without naming her, he added that his accuser is a "saint" and "saved my f****** life".</p>.<p>He concluded by adding: "Had she not intervened in my life and not created the avenue for me to experience ego death, I'd either have a really mediocre existence or I'd be dead in full."</p>
