Word got out some hours ago that actor Shia LaBeouf and girlfriend Mia Goth, the model and actress he’d been dating since 2012, got into a violent fight in Berlin, Germany. The next day after the fight, she was seen in public with a black eye, and things would have probably been worse if by-standers hadn’t intervened to break up the fight.

Video of the altercation or, better said, of the aftermath of the fight, has emerged online. You can see it embedded below, from Entertainment Tonight.

Shia admits he “woulda killed” Mia if fight had continued

While the video doesn’t show Shia getting physical with Mia, it confirms the original report that he admitted to the guys giving him a ride to the airport that he said he “woulda killed” her had he stayed.

The video starts as Shia gets out of a cab, while she remains inside, apparently holding on to her bag. He wants to leave and return to the States (he’d been visiting while she’s shooting a horror movie in Berlin) and she’s begging him to stay.

A few guys approach them and agree to take Shia to the airport, all the while recording him without his knowledge - proof that you should never trust strangers, especially if you’re a celebrity. Shia appears intoxicated, so he pays the camera no mind, even when he does eventually notice it.

On the way to the airport, he insists that he didn’t want to “touch a woman” and didn’t want to hit Mia, but she was “pushing” him. He admits that he would have lost his cool completely if he stayed.

Also on the way to the airport, Shia tries to FaceTime Megan Fox, his former co-star in the “Transformers” franchise and agrees to go for McDonald’s, where he and his new buddies, whom he promises to take around Los Angeles when they come visit, take selfies.

Admittedly, Shia punched Mia in the face

The original report mentioned Mia being seen the next day sporting a massive black eye, which could mean that all of Shia’s protests of not wanting to get aggressive towards her were just for show. Or maybe he meant it in a way like “I don’t want to touch a woman more than I already have.”

The same report also mentioned that the actor was sporting a serious injury on his hand, presumably from punching something like a wall. In other words, the fight was more serious than it seems in this video.

You can see his hand in the video, but towards the end of it, one of the guys giving him the ride to the airport asks him if “you want us to take you to the hospital,” presumably for the injury on his hand.

As of the time of writing, reps for neither star were available for comment on the incident.
