FKA twigs drops lawsuit against ex Shia LaBeouf that alleged sexual and physical abuse

Singer FKA twigs has dropped a lawsuit she filed against her ex Shia LaBeouf that accused the actor of physical, mental and sexual abuse.

The British singer, born Tahliah Debrett Barnett, had filed the case back in December 2020 in Los Angeles Super Court. The duo had a relationship that lasted just under a year.

On July 18, FKA twigs filed a request for dismissal, according to the court docket. The request sought the complaint be dismissed with prejudice.

FKA twigs’ attorney, Bryan Freedman, and LeBeouf’s attorney, Shawn Holley, said in a joint statement the case was settled out of court.

“Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court,” the statement said. “While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future.”

The 2020 suit accused LaBeouf of “relentless abuse,” including choking her, throwing her against a car on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and knowingly giving her a sexually transmitted disease.

At the time of the suit, LaBeouf told the New York Times, “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations.”

“I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt,” he added.

The “Transformers” star had made headlines in the past for his volatile behavior.

In 2014 he was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and harassment after disrupting a Broadway play, according to The Associated Press. He eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

In 2017, he went on a racist tirade against Georgia police officers arresting him for public drunkenness, the AP reported. He subsequently pleaded guilty to obstruction and was placed on a year’s probation. The public drunkenness allegation was dropped.
