His revelation resulted in support

His revelation resulted in support, but also disbelief, with the incredulity being spearheaded by another famous man. “Shia LaBeouf’s claim to have been ‘raped’ is truly pathetic & demeans real rape victims,” British television personality Piers Morgan tweeted. “Grow up, you silly little man…A Hollywood actor sitting with a paper bag over his head who did nothing as he claims a woman ‘raped’ him has not been raped.”

Joseph Snook, an investigator with the U.S. Observer who helps vindicate people who are wrongly charged, tells Yahoo Style that male rape cases are rarely prosecuted because the police and attorneys don’t think they can get a conviction. “It’s not about justice,” he says. “It’s about winning the case. Society doesn’t see men as targets. There’s the idea of the alpha male, of ‘you can protect yourself.’ Rape isn’t perceived as possible.”

Women have been more understanding of the actor. On female-centered website Jezebel.com, writer Madeleine Davies called Morgan a “dick bucket” while Patti Greco on Cosmopolitan.com wrote, “Many of Morgan’s followers called him out for victim-shaming — which is indeed what he was doing.”

LaBeouf revealed the rape in an email interview with Dazed, when asked if there had been any “unsettling” moments during #IAMSORRY. “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…,” LaBeouf wrote. “There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with disheveled hair and smudged lipstick.”

In response to Morgan’s tweets doubting the rape, the two artists who collaborated with LaBeouf on the project, Luke Turner and Nastja Sade Ronkko, confirmed that it did happen. “As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left,” Turner tweeted. welcome to my website: m-shoesbox
