Shia LaBeouf allegedly called queer man homophobic slurs before New Orleans arrest

Actor allegedly also made remarks to man who dresses in drag, and was seen dancing on Bourbon Street after arrest

The actor Shia LaBeouf allegedly aimed homophobic slurs at two men - one who identifies as queer and the other who dresses in drag - as the Transformers star was arrested for purportedly battering them at a bar early on Tuesday morning in New Orleans, the victims said.

Jeffrey Damnit - who was born with the last name Klein and was listed as one of the victims by New Orleans police - said in an interview on Wednesday that he was wearing mascara, eye shadow and lipstick when LaBeouf tried to beat him up while screaming, You're a fucking faggot'". He also shared a cellphone video showing LaBeouf in the back of a vehicle being examined by first responders, glancing over at Damnit and saying: Faggot."
