Cumming, who starred in the Broadway performance this summer, was onstage when LaBeouf was removed from the theater for erratic behavior and arrested. (He later [pleaded guilty](http://time.com/3320619/shia-labeouf-pleads-guilty-disorderly-conduct/ "undefined") to disorderly conduct.) “He was just wasted, and he was wasted from the second he walked into the thing, so there was an atmosphere when I went to go down onstage and start the show everyone’s freaking out because there was, you know, somebody seemed to be a crazy person shouting,” Cumming recalled. LaBeouf is currently promoting _Fury_, and Cumming is starring as Eli Gold in CBS’ _The Good Wife_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3528249/alan-cumming-shia-labeouf-cabaret-entertainment/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3528249/alan-cumming-shia-labeouf-cabaret-entertainment/"},"headline":"Watch Alan Cumming Share His Side of the Shia LaBeouf Cabaret Incident","datePublished":"2014-10-21T12:47:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:54:47.550Z","description":"LaBeouf was arrested in June and later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct","url":"https://time.com/3528249/alan-cumming-shia-labeouf-cabaret-entertainment/","keywords":["Television","Conan O'brien","the good wife"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4b0acb00224ecf12/698761f93c16397af444f2d6/alan-cumming.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4b0acb00224ecf12/698761f93c16397af444f2d6/alan-cumming.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Late Night with Seth Meyers - Season 1","caption":"Late Night with Seth Meyers - Season 1","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3528249/alan-cumming-shia-labeouf-cabaret-entertainment/","name":"Watch Alan Cumming Share His Side of the Shia LaBeouf Cabaret Incident"}}]}] ```
