Shia LaBeouf collaborators speak out about his alleged rape during art show British artist Luke Turner, left, and Finnish artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö, right, have backed up the LaBeouf's claims that he was raped during their art project. Allegations made by Shia LaBeouf earlier this week that he was raped during a performance piece have been backed up by his fellow artists. LaBeouf, 28, collaborated with two artists for a project called #IAMSORRY in February this year where he lived in a Los Angeles gallery for five days. During the event LaBeouf sat with a paper bag over his head that read: "I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE." The public were invited to visit him, one by one, and spend some time with him. In an interview with Dazed magazine, LaBeouf wrote that a woman raped him. "One woman came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me" he wrote. His collaborators, British artist Luke Turner and Finnish artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö, said they intervened as soon as they became aware of the incident and "put a stop to it." Both artists posted the same statements on Twitter, which they described as "important clarifications" about the project. Turner tweeted, "Nowhere did we state that people could do whatever they wanted to Shia during #IAMSORRY. As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left. When asked if the incident was reported to the police, Turner did not respond but said that their collaboration with the actor continued. Turner did later provided more details of the incident after Piers Morgan asked him on Twitter why they had let the [alleged] rapist "just walk away."

He said: "When she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn't speak, so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. Originally published as Artists back LaBeouf rape claim
