First you leave, then you tweet.

Hours after Shia LaBeouf's sudden exit from the Broadway production of the play "Orphans" was announced, the hot-headed "Transformers" star started a Twitter rant revealing his short tenure at the show was even more troubled than originally rumored.

Posting personal emails from co-stars Alec Baldwin and Tom Sturridge along with playwright Lyle Kessler and director Daniel Sullivan, the 26-year-old actor outed a production in turmoil -- as well as his own inner demons.

"A man can tell you he?s wrong...he can apologize, even if sometimes its just to put an end to the bickering,? wrote LaBeouf in one email to his director. ?Alec, I?m sorry for my part of a disagreeable situation.?

It turned out whole swathes of his email were taken verbatIm and uncredited from a 2009 Esquire essay by Tom Chiarella, Gawker reported.

In response to the email from his resigning star, Sullivan fired back, ?I'm too old for disagreeable situations. you're one hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is. you are who you are. you two are incompatible. I should have known it. this one will haunt me. you tried to warn me. you said you were a different breed. I didn't get it. Dan?

LaBeouf went on to post a series of bizarre tweets about the nature of acting:

LaBeouf quit his role as a wayward older brother from North Philly in ?Orphans? less than a month before it was to open. Less than 24 hours after the official word came that he was out of the show, producers announced that Ben Foster, who had auditioned for ?Orphans? but passed over for LaBeouf, was in. The role marks Foster?s Broadway debut.

Producers cited ?creative differences? as the reason for LaBeouf?s departure, but a source told the News it was really caused by his difficult behavior and refusal to take direction.

LaBeouf has a long track record of bad behavior: he was arrested for trespassing in 2007, lost his driver?s license for a year in 2008 and had been in two bar fights and punched a photographer.

?It was just not working out,? a show insider said. ?It is a disaster. This is a massive disaster. They just lost a third of the cast. This was the best solution for what went down.?
