Fox News’ Jesse Watters claims A-list actor once verbally insulted him at the airport

Jesse Watters claims Shia LaBeouf verbally attacked him at an airport for no reason more than five years ago.
The Fox News host recalled the actor’s alleged insults during Tuesday’s episode of “Jesse Watters Primetime,” while speaking to playwright and director David Mamet. Mamet was promoting his film, “Henry Johnson,” which stars LaBeouf.
‘Well, Shia LaBeouf told me to go eff myself at a Delta lounge at the airport a couple years ago,” Watters said.
“So tell him I said hi,” he added sarcastically. “Will you do that for me?”
Mamet laughed off the story, responding, “I think we need to … instead of electing very volatile people who love fantasies to be our actors, we have to start electing the philosopher kings and queens. What do you think?”
Watters smiled and replied, “I’d vote for a philosopher king or queen. Sign me up. I may even donate. I’m not allowed to — sorry Fox. Not in the handbook.”
The conservative commentator first talked about his alleged encounter with the “Transformers” actor back in 2019 while guest-hosting “The Ingraham Angle.”
Watters claimed LaBeouf, 39, insulted him in front of his kids completely unprovoked.
“The other day, I was at a lounge at the Delta sky situation trying to take off for a flight with my family,” he said. “And the actor Shia LaBeouf or whatever his name is, I think it was him — it looked exactly like him — I walk by and he calls me ‘trash’ right in front of my kids, you know?
“And I didn’t say anything. I didn’t lose it,” he continued. “But, you know, these things happen.”
LaBeouf has never commented on the alleged interaction and his rep didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Last month, the former Disney actor’s ex-girlfriend, singer FKA Twigs, dropped her abuse lawsuit against him two months before the trial was set to begin in September.
“Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court,” Twigs and LaBeouf said in a joint statement to Page Six provided by their respective attorneys, Bryan Freedman and Shawn Holley.
“While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future,” the statement concluded
In her December 2020 filing, the “Cellophane” singer, 37, accused LaBeouf of sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress during their year-long relationship.
LaBeouf denied all of Twigs’ allegations, even citing “self-defense,” in court documents filed in February 2021. In his official response obtained by Page Six, he denied his ex “sustained any injury or loss by reason of any act or omission” because of him.
