      As an image on a photo, yes. But as woman you're in a relationship with, she's probably the worst example of a woman to be in a relationship with. There isn't enough money in the world to make me think about being in a relationship with her.

      I had a bad temper as a young man. Quite a long fuse but like a volcano when it erupted. However I never applied violence. My mechanism was to go out and walk and walk and walk until I calmed down. My worst one - and I think my last - I walked for several miles before I finally and fully calmed down and it was raining. I then had to turn around and walk all the way back as I had no wallet or phone on me.
      By the time I got back I could not have had a more different perspective. The argument that caused the temper was ridiculous. I was able to apologise as did my wife - because we both had responsibility for being stupid - who had been a bit worried because I had ended up being gone nearly 4 hours. We had a laugh about how far I had actually walked to.

    Great commentary Mr. Rivers 🤗. Shia sounds disingenuous, he reminds me of my ex. Eight years ago I was in a violent relationship; I was more afraid of being alone and not being able to support myself than of being punched or kicked or thrown around or being forced to do things. I grew up in foster care, perhaps if I had a supportive family I wouldn't have been so dumb. My friends loved him: he was a good provider, a hard-working professional man, he was so different when we were in public It wasn't until he started to bully my little boy that I knew I couldn't allow him to hurt my baby 😢. I mustered what little courage I had, packed our bags and left with my baby while my ex was at work. I was so scared! My little boy and I couch surfed for a while until I got a job and bought an old car; we lived in my car for 11 months then I was finally able to buy a little trailer where we still live to this day. My son is happy and stable, he's such a good boy! My ex left me with so many fears and traumas... If it wasn't for my little boy I don't think I'd be here, he's my whole life! Anyway, thank you for your words, they're validating and healing🥺. Blessings❤️

      I'm not a huge Shia fan, but did you actually watch the interview or just these clips? He got emotional and teared up several times, one of those times he tried to talk through it but you could tell.
      I saw the full interview, not just the clips. It seemed sincere. People are told that they have to take the steps to improve, make changes, and then take responsibility and then they aren't allowed the grace to do it without comments of insincerity. What he did is inexcusable, but its not irredeemable.
      Watching this clip by clip like Bruce is doing kind of makes almost every comment go out-of context.
      Again, not really a Shia fan, but he deserves the grace to be allowed to change his life, until he proves that he hasn't.
      I want to make it clear, i don't condone what he did in the past. If it comes out that he abused his wife, then fuck him.

    My nephew was crying because my sister in law scolded him for hitting her and throwing a tantrum. My brother comforted him and asked “Did mom make you angry?” I immediately took him on. It is good to acknowledge a child’s emotions and find out why they are crying and feeling frustrated. But nobody MAKES you angry. You GET angry. It is your choice to react and how you react to other people. We all get angry, but we manage the anger. Do not teach your children this. They will never learn to take responsibility.
    It is a big thing in DV that the perpetrator accuses the victim of making them do it. It is all their fault. I grew up in a DV home and that is what my father always said.

    I love that you’re so real and true to who you are, and also a very successful attorney, Bruce! You call out bad behavior and it’s really healthy for people like me - who never learned important boundaries - to see! It’s also a reminder that many men would never find this behavior acceptable! Sadly, sometimes you can get a little isolated and lost in patterns that make you forget you’re worthy and lovable. This was honestly triggering for me, as I’m a survivor. Most of the abuse I’ve experienced is from narcissistic men. Shia LaBeouf is pretty classic NPD. It’s pathological.
    I find it disturbing how wildly out of touch with reality he is, how little accountability he takes, how self-important he is. I was raised by an alcoholic with NPD and didn’t really know any different, so continued the cycle in my relationships until fairly recently, unfortunately.
    When Shia LaBeouf said, “I’m willing to eviscerate myself and emasculate myself,” I wanted to vomit. For what? Shamelessly talking about his history of battering women physically? But only the little bits he wants to, not the real terror and anxiety that comes with being a victim and becoming a shell of who you once were?? Uhhh, does he want an applause for choosing to be human?
    Shia LaBeouf was an emotional abuser too, something he didn’t address and maybe it’s better that way…. He doesn’t need to awaken all of our personal traumas. The truth of the matter is he will never know the irreversible harm and destruction he has caused… the brain chemistry he has changed. To me, he’s still a black hole inside, a fragile ego too afraid to really dig deep within and know himself because it’s too painful. Sadly, he’s also a product of trauma.

    "Ego death" is a term often used to describe a breakthrough experience with psychedelic medicines/drugs. Often useful for psychological/behavioral issues, including harmful addictions, PTSD, and depression. He described her as a sage and said that she provided him with the means to experience the ego death. I'm guessing she guided him through psychedelic therapy with something like LSD, mushrooms, or MDMA--likely resulting in his cathartic self analysis and public acceptance.

    Abusers love to apologize (not always for what they did though), playing victim to gain sympathy and seem harmless. It literally one of the steps of the Cycle of Abuse: Escalate - Abuse - Apologize - Repeat.
    Im so glad I never took back my abuser. Now I know what it sounds like to hear what I thought I wanted to hear from him, from someone else who is obviously fake, its relieving. A little voice in me at times sneaks in a says "maybe he changed". Maybe. But. Not abusing to keep your friends from walking is not the same thing at all as true remorse and stopping because you actually care and want to stop.

A lot of things that remove him from his actions and from the person and we typically do that when we don’t want to be associated with what we’ve done or what’s happened. I think he’s taken in a lot of info, he’s been very analytical of it, but he’s not letting it touch himself emotionally. He’s not holding empathy. He hasn’t learned in the ways he needs to in order for him to deeply change.
