This is a weird story. Apparently, Shia LaBeouf was “caught” by paparazzi when he was trying to “steal” an X17 photographer’s camera. Something about how the paparazzi were “swarming” him and he decided to take one of their cameras? If you go to X17 here and watch the video (nevermind, I embedded it below), you can see and hear that the X17 cameraman was basically taunting Shia and Shia zipped around him and went to the guy’s car to f-ck with his sh-t. Totally weird. The cops were called.
Shia LaBeouf was caught red handed when he tried to remove an X17 paparazzo’s camera on Wednesday afternoon. According to X17 Online, the ‘Transformers’ star was spotted taking camera equipment from the photographer’s car in Hollywood. LaBeouf saw the paparazzi swarming outside his house and decided the only way to keep them from snaping photos was to take the cameras out of the equation. He helped himself to the equipment and reportedly returned to his residence to call the police. Police eventually had LaBeouf give up the camera and didn’t arrest him.
“We handle each incident on a case-by-case basis,” an unnamed official told X17 Online.
Of course, LaBeouf has had a few run ins with the paparazzi in the past and stated how much he hates losing his privacy. In April, Pacific Coast News reported that LaBeouf got into an altercation with a photographer while he was filling up his truck at a gas station.
After realizing he was being photographed, he charged a photographer and allegedly said, “If you follow me all day I am going to f**k you up.”

I mean, I get that the paparazzi are frustrating, and obviously, this cameraman is a total douche. But that video was just strange, and I’m not seeing this paparazzi “swarm”. It just seems like it was this one douche. Granted, he sounds French and creepy, but just ignore him. It’s just one douche! I want Shia to be more mature than this.
