NEW ORLEANS — After Shia LaBeouf’s Mardi Gras arrest, a new report claims the actor’s estranged wife, Mia Goth, is pushing for a hard reset: get treatment—or risk losing what’s left of his family life. The alleged “rehab ultimatum” is spreading fast online, fueled by the brutal optics of LaBeouf being booked during the height of Carnival, then quickly returning to the streets as if nothing happened.

LaBeouf, 39, was arrested in the French Quarter on Feb. 17, 2026, and booked on two counts of simple battery, according to police and multiple media reports. Witness accounts cited by People describe a confrontation that escalated into alleged violence and slurs; a mugshot released days later amplified the backlash, especially after reports that he was seen partying again shortly after his release.

Now, in the wake of the arrest, TMZ reports that Goth wants LaBeouf to go to rehab and address his drinking, with sources saying the public is “just seeing behaviors that have been going on for years.” Page Six echoed that framing, describing Goth as still caring about LaBeouf’s wellbeing and his relationship with their child, but pushing him to seek help after the New Orleans incident.

The high-stakes angle—“rehab or lose your family”—lands because the couple’s relationship status has already been under a microscope. People and Entertainment Weekly report the pair quietly separated about a year ago, after more than a decade on-and-off and a marriage that began in 2016. They share a daughter, Isabel, born in 2022. In other words, the “ultimatum” isn’t necessarily about saving a marriage that’s already ended—it may be about whether LaBeouf can remain a stable presence in his daughter’s life, and whether Goth will continue any level of contact beyond co-parenting.

Adding to the volatility: People recently reported that police had responded to a November 2024 dispute at the couple’s Los Angeles-area home after a 911 call related to a verbal altercation, though no further action was taken at the time. That history, combined with the New Orleans arrest, has made the current moment feel less like a single bad night and more like a breaking point fans have been waiting to see.

Still, the key details about a “final ultimatum” remain unverified beyond tabloid-style sourcing. Neither LaBeouf nor Goth has publicly confirmed the rehab demand, and representatives have not offered an official statement in the reports cited. What is confirmed is the legal reality: LaBeouf faces battery charges tied to the Mardi Gras incident, and the case is now headed into the court system.

For a couple long defined by turbulence, the latest chapter is stark: one night in New Orleans has reopened years of questions—about sobriety, stability, and whether love can survive when consequences finally show up in handcuffs.
