FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf Settle Lawsuit Over Abuse Allegations
The singer and actor have resolved their legal disputes stemming from an abuse lawsuit without disclosing specific details.
In a joint statement, legal representatives for both parties confirmed the settlement, stating that details pertaining to the agreement would remain confidential. LaBeouf has publicly denied several allegations but expressed remorse for the pain he has caused.
Twigs, who filed her lawsuit in December 2020, claimed that their relationship was marked by "relentless abuse," including instances of physical violence and emotional coercion. As part of the settlement reached recently, Barnett requested the court to dismiss all claims against LaBeouf without the option to refile, effectively closing the door on future legal action related to these allegations.
Initially, a trial was scheduled for 2022 but faced delays. During the ongoing proceedings, Twigs alleged serious mental and physical abuse, including incidents in which LaBeouf would physically restrain her and display aggressive behavior.
In a candid 2021 interview, Twigs spoke to journalist Louis Theroux about the lasting emotional toll of her relationship with LaBeouf, highlighting the PTSD she developed from the experience and the difficulties in healing from such trauma that are often overlooked in broader societal conversations.
LaBeouf has acknowledged a history of abusive behavior, stating he has caused harm to those close to him and expressing regret for his actions. Despite their tumultuous past, both parties expressed a desire to move forward positively in their lives and careers.
Since their breakup in 2019 after a brief nine-month relationship that began on the set of the film "Honey Boy," Twigs has continued to expand her artistic accolades, recently releasing her album "Eusexua" and receiving critical acclaim, while LaBeouf remains engaged in film projects, having recently starred in "Henry Johnson."
