Shia LaBeouf was involved in an altercation at R Bar in New Orleans. The actor was reportedly escorted out of the bar. This was because he was being very aggressive in the establishment.

According to the police report filed during the altercation, the actor reportedly called the two men the F-word several times while assaulting them with closed fists. The actor reportedly hit the two men with closed fists. The victim reportedly made it clear to the actor that he didn’t want to fight. However, the actor still managed to hit him in the nose.

The alleged slurs, however, did not stop there either. According to the report, the actor continued to call out offensive remarks despite the police officers being at the scene to investigate and arrest him. Shia LaBeouf allegedly made the comment,

“These f*****s put me in jail. I’m a Catholic.”

Just before the arrest, the actor was spotted speaking publicly about his faith, and the incident involving the alleged assault and the use of homophobic slurs was a major topic of discussion in the media after the police report was made public.

To answer the question, yes, the alleged assault, based on the police report, did include the actor using homophobic slurs against the alleged victims, not only in the course of the altercation but also in front of the police officers at the scene.
