Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth are one of Hollywood’s most talked‑about couples — artists known for avant‑garde work, intense emotion, and a history that blurs the lines between performance and real life. Their relationship has drawn both admiration for its passion and concern for its volatility. In this investigation, we explore what is known: what has been alleged, what has been admitted, and whether their bond might indeed be dangerous for them both.

Meeting, Drama, and Family

Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf met in 2012 on the set ofNymphomaniac: Volume II. They became romantically involved, and over the years their relationship has experienced many ups and downs, including public breakups, reconciliations, and eventually having a child together.

Despite periods of separation (they reportedly filed for divorce in 2018 and reconciled some years later), Goth has often been described by LaBeouf as a stabilizing presence — someone who “saved” him during dark times such as rehab and personal crisis.

But alongside the love, there is evidence of conflict, emotional volatility, and behavior by LaBeouf that has raised serious red flags.

Evidence of Volatility, Conflict, and Allegations

Video in Germany: “I Would Have Killed Her”

One of the most cited incidents took place in 2015 in Tübingen, Germany, where a video shows LaBeouf and Goth in a heated argument outside a hotel. Local bystanders intervene. In the exchange, LaBeouf says things like:

I don’t want to touch a woman. I don’t want to hit a woman, but I’m being pushed.”

If I’d have stayed there, I would’ve killed her.”

This moment is disturbing not only for what is said, but because LaBeouf seems aware the situation is dangerous. The clip suggests that the emotional escalation almost crossed into physical violence. Mia Goth’s side of what happened is less documented; she appears in the video, but does not publicly litigate that specific moment much in detail.

Behavior Patterns and Allegations from Others

While much of what is known about LaBeouf’s behavior involves his former girlfriend FKA Twigs (Tahliah Barnett), many of those allegations shed light on what kind of person he might be. Allegations include physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, claims of controlling behavior, and instances of manipulation.

Some examples:

Barnett’s lawsuit alleges that LaBeouf slammed her into a car, tried to strangle her, and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease.

She describes a situation where romantic gestures escalated into intrusive or boundary‑violating behavior.

LaBeouf has admitted to alcohol problems, aggression, and patterns of hurting people close to him.

These allegations are not about Mia Goth directly, but they inform how LaBeouf’s behavior has manifested in multiple relationships. They help contextualize the claim that his relationship with Mia may be similarly fraught.

What LaBeouf Himself Has Admitted

Shia LaBeouf has made several public statements acknowledging wrongdoing, inner conflict, addiction, emotional instability, and guilt. While he denies some of the specific allegations (especially those by FKA Twigs), he has also said:

He is sorry for hurting people, and recognizes that he has harmed more than one partner.

He has struggled with alcoholism, PTSD, and cycles of self‑destructive behavior.

In the REAL ONES podcast, LaBeouf expressed that Mia Goth “saved him” during a particularly low moment when he was in rehab in Utah. He described feeling he had nothing to give, but Goth’s presence gave him hope.

These admissions suggest he is aware of his own problems and has publicly reflected on them, though admitting awareness is not the same as demonstrating consistent change.

The Role of Mia Goth: Victim, Partner, or Something More Complex?

There is little public record of Mia Goth making accusations of abuse against LaBeouf (or vice versa) with the detail seen in the FKA Twigs case. Nor are there major lawsuits involving Goth in this context. This doesnot necessarily mean there is no harm; many domestic situations do not result in litigation, or the victims choose privacy.

Goth has been depicted in interviews and public discourse as someone who has stuck by LaBeouf through difficult times, including his rehab, self‑critiques, and attempts at recovery. Some of his statements make clear that he views Mia Goth as a stabilizer: someone who has been loyal and supportive.

The question arises: does staying in a relationship with someone who has patterns of abusive or self‑destructive behavior mean the partner is complicit, enabling, or also harmed in non‑visible ways (emotionally, mentally)? Many observers believe the dynamics are unhealthy — that despite love and loyalty, there is cost, and possibly danger, to being part of the cycle.

Legal & Public Reckonings

FKA Twigs’ lawsuit, filed in December 2020, alleged physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. That lawsuit has recently been dropped (settled with prejudice) in 2025, meaning it cannot be refiled.

LaBeouf has publicly addressed the allegations, saying “I hurt that woman … I fucked up bad,” that he had admitted to some behavior, though has denied specific claims.

The video with Mia Goth from Germany remains one of the few public, visual pieces of evidence involving their conflict together. It has been widely shared and interpreted, including by media outlets and observers who view it as evidence of rage, fear, and volatility.

Analyzing the “Danger” in Their Relationship

Based on what is public, here are factors that suggest potential danger in the relationship between LaBeouf and Goth:

Escalating ArgumentsThe Germany video demonstrates that arguments have escalated to the point where LaBeouf himself says he might have done something terrible (kill her) if he had stayed.

Patterns of Self‑DestructionLaBeouf has admitted to heavy substance use, emotional instability, and unresolved trauma (childhood abuse, PTSD). When one partner is struggling in these ways, relationships often suffer collateral damage.

Fear, Control, and BoundariesIn the allegations by others, as well as in LaBeouf’s own statements, there are mentions of controlling behavior, fear, emotional manipulation — all signs of abusive dynamics. If similar behavior is present in his relationship with Mia Goth, that adds risk.

Public Apologies vs. Private HealingWhile LaBeouf has apologized and expressed regret, the question remains whether there has been sustained change. Public confession does not always equate to private transformation.

Impact on GothEven without public accusations, being the partner of someone with severe emotional and behavioral issues can cause trauma: fear, burnout, suppression of self, emotional labor. In many such relationships, the partner may also have individual effects (anxiety, depression) even if less visible.

What Is Not Confirmed or What Needs Further Proof

It’s important to be precise about what is not (yet) substantiated or what remains disputed:

There is no verified court judgment that Mia Goth has legally accused Shia LaBeouf of abuse in the same manner as FKA Twigs did. The video in Germany shows heated confrontation and alarming language, but not legal findings about physical abuse by Goth.

Many of the harshest allegations (sexual, physical abuse, giving STDs, etc.) are from the FKA Twigs lawsuit; these are not directly about the relationship with Mia Goth.

Some of LaBeouf’s statements are vague or generalized (e.g. “hurting people close to me”), which makes it difficult to link specific deeds to specific relationships without more evidence.

Conclusion: Are They “Dangerous for Each Other”?

From the publicly available evidence, there is a strong suggestion that Shia LaBeouf’s relationship style, characterized by emotional volatility, substance abuse, admitted aggression, and guilt, creates risk — for himself, for those around him, and potentially for Mia Goth. The Germany video is one of the few direct pieces of evidence showing the relationship’s dangerous surface, with LaBeouf himself recognizing the risk (“would have killed her”) if things escalated.

Mia Goth, while less publicly vocal about abuse claims, appears deeply entwined in the relationship — sometimes as the supportive figure, sometimes as the recipient of anger and drama. Even when not legally acknowledged, such dynamics can be harmful.

Therefore, while labeling their marriage (or relationship) as definitively “abusive” requires more verified evidence specifically about Goth’s experience, the relationship contains enough red flags to reasonably consider it “toxic” and potentially dangerous — especially given LaBeouf’s past, personal admissions, and the public incidents.
