Shia LaBeouf’s Confrontation Leads to Arrest of Alleged Stalker

In a surprising turn, the woman who has been following Shia LaBeouf for months was taken into custody after a video of their meeting went viral.
The incident took place in a parking lot, where LaBeouf calmly told the woman to stop bothering him. He said, “Leave me alone. God bless you. Leave me alone,” and added that she was frightening his family.

The woman, named Alyssa Lee Couture, 40, was booked for a misdemeanor stalking charge. Her Instagram feed shows over five thousand posts that often address LaBeouf as if he were her husband. She has also run a fundraising campaign to raise $70,000 for housing, claiming she lives in a car and suffers from schizophrenia.

While police do not disclose the victim’s name, the timing of Couture’s arrest matches the video footage. LaBeouf moved to Louisiana after ending his relationship with Mia Goth and has faced other legal trouble, including a guilty plea for simple battery in June. He was previously arrested in February for assaulting two men near a bar, posted bond, and later received another warrant. A judge ordered him to attend substance‑abuse treatment and drug testing.

This case highlights the serious consequences of stalking and the legal system’s response to repeated harassment. It also shows how public figures can become targets of persistent attention, sometimes leading to dangerous confrontations.
