Shia LaBeouf‘s viral parking-lot encounter has taken a legal turn now. The woman he asked to leave him alone is now in custody. Days after the footage of the calm but tense exchange went viral over social media, authorities in Louisiana arrested the woman on a stalking charge.
Authorities took Alyssa Couture into custody after the encounter with Shia LaBeouf
According to booking records cited by TMZ, Alyssa Couture, 40, was arrested on Monday night and booked on a misdemeanor stalking charge through the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office. The arrest came just after she posted a clip of her run-in with the actor, which went viral.
In that viral video, Shia LaBeouf is seen speaking to Couture through her car window in the grocery store parking lot. He keeps his voice measured, repeatedly asking to be left alone and saying she is frightening his father and people around him. “Leave me alone. God bless you. Leave me alone,” LaBeouf said this calmly.
The video quickly spread across social media, prompting widespread discussion about celebrity safety and boundaries. The New Orleans Police Department has not publicly named the alleged victim, citing the standard privacy policy. TMZ reported the arrest based on booking records, which came days after the viral confrontation involving LaBeouf.
Couture has posted thousands of videos about LaBeouf over recent months, expressing beliefs about a personal relationship between them. She has also spoken publicly about her health, though those statements have not been independently verified.
The latest incident comes during a challenging year for LaBeouf. In June, the “Honey Boy” star pleaded guilty to battery charges, a separate matter from this week’s arrest.
