Actor Shia LaBeouf’s artistic collaborators Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner have opened up about the actor’s rape allegations.
In an email interview with ‘Dazed’, the actor also confirmed the rape occurred during his #IAMSORRY show in 2013.
One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me. There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with dishevelled hair and smudged lipstick. It was no good, not just for me but her man as well.
His collaborators, Nastja and Luke took to Twitter.com to explain what actually happened in a series of tweets.
A couple of important clarifications about our #IAMSORRY project earlier this year:

Nowhere did we state that people could do whatever they wanted to Shia during #IAMSORRY. — Nastja Säde Rönkkö (@NastjaRonkko) November 30, 2014
As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left.

Luke also responded to Piers Morgan’s claims that it was all part of ‘cheap PR’.
@piersmorgan It wasn’t clear at the time precisely what had happened, & the 1st priority was to ensure everybody’s safety in the gallery…1/2 — Luke Turner (@Luke_Turner) November 30, 2014
@piersmorgan She ran out, rather than simply walking away. Beyond that, it’s not my place to comment. 2/2

For LaBeouf, the assault was especially hurtful because his girlfriend was there and saw him later that day.
It was Valentine’s Day and I was living in the gallery for the duration of the event – we were separated for five days, no communication. So it really hurt her as well, as I guess the news of it travelled through the line. When she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn’t speak, so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. It was painful.
