LaBeouf allegedly used force and violence against Tyler Murphy in an incident that took place on June 12 in Los Angeles, according to the complaint. LaBeouf also allegedly took a hat belonging to Murphy.
LaBeouf’s legal team hasroundly denied every one of the claims. His lawyers deny that she suffered any damages or injuries from LaBeouf and asserts that her sexual battery claims should be dismissed because “none of the acts alleged were based on sex and/or the conduct was not sexual.”
