In 2016, Shailene Woodley made headlines when she live-streamed herself being arrested while protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline's construction, per People. Many stars have been vocal about opposing the pipeline, which poses a threat to the environment, according to The Hollywood Reporter, while "the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Yankton Sioux Tribe, and Oglala Sioux Tribe have fought to keep it from being completed."
As for Woodley, she faced charges of criminal trespassing and engaging in a riot, which could have landed her behind bars for one month, in addition to her paying a fine of $1,500, according to Vulture. However, she was soon released and struck a plea deal, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct and serving "one year of unsupervised probation."
Woodley later opened up to Marie Claire about the experience, saying, "I was strip-searched. Like get naked, turn over, spread your butt cheeks, bend over." She continued, "When you're in a jail cell and they shut that door, you realize no one can save you. If there's a fire and they decide not to open the door, you'll die. You are a caged animal." Afterward, ABC News noted that she dealt with "symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder." As Woodley told Marie Claire, "There was so much trauma. Mine was like, 'What do I do now?' Kind of like a little bit of depression."
