Shia LaBeouf Stalker Pleads Guilty, Claimed Actor Was a Clone

PUBLISHED Sep 6, 2026, 9:23 AM ET

A woman arrested for stalking actor Shia LaBeouf in Louisiana has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, receiving a suspended one-year jail sentence and one year of probation. Alyssa Couture was taken into custody following an incident in a bank parking lot where she confronted LaBeouf and his girlfriend while making erratic statements to responding police officers. According to court records obtained by media outlets, Couture claimed she sought to close a demon portal and alleged that LaBeouf was a clone created partly from her own DNA. She also asserted she was the actor's wife and had traveled to locate him. Under the terms of the sentence issued by the court, Couture must successfully complete a designated mental health program during her probationary period. Additionally, the legal agreement strictly prohibits her from making any future contact with or approaching LaBeouf.
