Shia LaBeouf Plagarizes Again While Admitting To A Drug Habit

After Lena Dunham tweeted a direct attack on Shia LaBeouf's skywriting apology for plagiarism, Shia LaBeouf responded with a tweet that plagiarized rapper Gucci Mane's tweet from September.

The story that began with a simple comic strip:


This story has developed into the fall of a star that used to grace the home page of Comicbookmovie.com on a weekly basis just two years ago. Here is a look at how the story has developed this week:

After reports of various celebrities using Twitter to voice their opinions on Shia LaBeouf's latest act of apology for plagiarizing writer Daniel Clowes work back in 2013, Lena Dunham (of HBO's Girls fame) joined the mass with the following Tweet:


This tweet seemed to upset LaBeouf and inspired another apology from the Transformers star in this latest tweet:


He soon after retweeted Dunham's acknowledgment of his apology:


HOWEVER the saga does not stop there, and since this is in fact a very public fall of a celebrity, there had to be a continuos pattern in LaBeouf's behaviour, as the Daily Mail discovered that the Transformers star had indeed plagiarized in his tweet about his drug habit from rapper Gucci Mane's own revelation back in September.
Reported by Daily Mail: It turns out the rapper-actor apologised for his drinking in a tweet posted on September 22 that read: 'I wanna be the first rapper to admit I’m addicted to lean & that sh*t ain’t no joke. I can barely remember all the things I’ve done & said. However there’s no excuse.'

Considering what Mane had went through, and the courage it had taken him to reveal his addiction and apologize to his fans, family and friends, this has been a completely disrespectful act by LaBeouf who's "copy-paste" addiction is belittling what Mane has been through. It seems LaBeouf is doing more harm than good and should definitely seek some external help with his addictions and mental issues.

I have to think he is doing this on purpose. Because how could anyone be this dumb. I bet it is all is for getting a new acting gig or getting his own reality tv show.

This is ridiculous. I can't believe I clicked on this article. So he said the same thing a rapper said. We used to call things like that "quoting" or "homaging" or "parodying" back in the days that things made more sense and food came from farms. I really don't think it's "been a completely disrespectful act". This is just a classic example of the effect that Twitter has had on those in the public eye. If any one else had done anything like this, it really wouldn't matter all that much. And it shouldn't with Shia. Just because the guy's been in some pretty high-profile movies shouldn't make much of a difference. But all of a sudden the media's making a big "falling star" thing out of it? Shit. I thought Shia's star fell when he was confirmed to have been left out of TransFormers 4. I think folks should give the guy a break, to be honest. The internet really brings out everyone's childish schoolyard behavioral attitudes, doesn't it. It's like the cyber-wild west, I suppose. But at least concepts such as respect and honor were to be found in the wild west.
I don't know. I guess you either die a hero or you tweet long enough to see yourself become the villain. Shit, did I just plaigarise, then? Do I need a plane of some sort? Mind you, Batman plagairised that line, too. But, then he did have a bigassed plane in the next film. Hmmm.

If this isn't CBM's style, you guys wouldn't have let Nails post the first of many articles dealing with this, especially one that had more opinionated criticism than it did news reporting. I'm just saying.... You might as well report this story until it falls cause you've already started it.

Can we drop this stuff? None of it matters or has any relation to comics.

It would be great if Shia did a movie & all his dialogue was lines from other famous movies.

Like he's onscreen & says: "You talking to me?" (Taxi Driver) then says,"I'll be back."
(Terminator) and so on & so on...too good.
