British artist Luke Turner and Finnish artist Nastja Sade Ronkko, who collaborated on an art project called IAMSORRY show, recently took to Twitter speak out about Shia LaBeouf's rape allegations during the show.

Two artists said that they had intervened as soon as they became aware of the incident and "put a stop to it", the Guardian reported.

Turner said that nowhere did they state that people could do whatever they wanted to the 'Transformers' star during the show and as soon as they were aware of the incident starting to occur, they ensured the women left.

LaBeouf, who sat silently behind a desk in a room in LA's Cohen gallery with a paper bag bearing the legend "I am not famous anymore" over his head, had recently revealed that a woman who had come to see the show with her boyfriend had raped him.
