A week after Shia LaBeouf revealed he was raped by a female visitor during his #IAMSORRY art exhibit, the actor's collaborators shared a few clarifications about the incident on social media.
Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner both worked with LaBeouf, 28, on the art project which consisted of him sitting inside a museum's room with a brown bag over his head that read "I am not famous anymore." Visitors had the chance to enter the room and sit across from the actor to interact with him one-on-one.
"Nowhere did we state that people could do whatever they wanted to Shia during #IAMSORRY," Rönkkö wrote on Twitter Sunday.
Adding, "As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left."
She said that she and her fellow collaborators weren't "aware at the time precisely what had happened" because they were not in the same room as LaBeouf.
Turner also responded to the actor's claims on social by replying to a tweet from television host Piers Morgan.
@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
"She ran out, rather than simply walking away. Beyond that, it's not my place to comment," he added, echoing Rönkkö's posts.
In an email interview with Dazed and Confused writer Aimee Cliff, LaBeouf disclosed a woman came into the installation on Valentine's Day and "whipped" his legs before undressing him and raping him.
