Mia Goth wants her estranged husband, Shia LaBeouf, to enter a rehabilitation facility to manage his struggle with alcohol.
Sources close to the actress told TMZ on Friday, February 20, 2026, that she believes professional help is necessary following his recent arrest in New Orleans.
While the couple separated about a year ago, Goth remains concerned for his well-being and wants him to remain a healthy and present figure in the life of their three-year-old daughter, Isabel.
The request for treatment follows a chaotic week for the 39-year-old actor during Mardi Gras festivities. Early Tuesday morning, police arrested LaBeouf in the French Quarter after he allegedly initiated a fight at a local bar.
Witnesses and video footage show the actor headbutting one individual and punching an employee before a group of bystanders intervened and subdued him.
Authorities charged him with two counts of simple battery. Following his release, LaBeouf posted a cryptic "Free me" message on social media and returned to the same area where the altercation occurred.
This latest incident adds to a long history of legal and personal setbacks for the Transformers star.
LaBeouf previously completed court-mandated rehab following a 2017 arrest for public drunkenness in Georgia.
Those close to the situation suggest that his move to New Orleans in late 2025 was an attempt to "reset and refocus" near his father, Jeffrey, who also lives in the area.
While locals initially described him as friendly and sober, his recent behavior suggests a significant regression in his recovery journey.
Mia Goth has largely kept a low profile during their estrangement, continuing to live in the Los Angeles area with their daughter.
She has not commented publicly on the arrest, but sources indicate she feels the current situation has reached a level of alarm that exceeds simple concern.
As LaBeouf navigates his newest legal charges, his family and former partner hope he chooses to prioritize his health and long-term sobriety.
