Our sources indicate that this is merely the public becoming aware of actions that have been occurring for many years.

Even though they have been separated for about a year, we are informed that Mia still has feelings for Shia... and she wants him to be involved in their daughter's life. They have a 3-year-old daughter namedIsabel.

He had purchased a home worth $1 millionand relocated to the city a few months back followingsplitting from Mia.

As they were being taken away, the police said Shia.fired offa string of homophobic insults ... and, we have acquired footage from 10 days prior to the event where LaBeouflaunches into a tirade about religion and sex.
