FKA twigs<\/a> has filed a new lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf<\/a>, claiming the actor is attempting to prohibit her from publicly discussing the alleged sexual abuse she experienced during their relationship or any additional issues related to sexual violence.<\/p>\n

In 2020, twigs (real name Tahliah Barnett) sued<\/a> the actor, accusing him of months of \u201cphysical, sexual, and mental abuse.\u201d After years of delays, the jury trial was set to start in September 2025 but the parties reached a settlement<\/a> before it began. According to the new lawsuit, which was obtained by Pitchfork, this was done to allow \u201cLaBeouf to avoid a public and embarrassing jury trial and potentially enormous damages for his conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Rosengart, a lawyer for the singer-songwriter, now claims within this settlement was an \u201cunlawful NDA,\u201d which was included to prevent \u201cMs. Barnett not just from disclosing information about her own survival of sexual assault and sexual abuse but…from discussing sexual assault and sexual abuse more generally and as an important topic of public concern.\u201d Rosengart adds that the NDA is in violation of California\u2019s STAND Act, which forbids agreements that are meant to silence sexual assault survivors from speaking out.<\/p>\n

Pitchfork has reached out to LaBeouf\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

Barnett\u2019s current complaint stems from an arbitration demand she received from LaBeouf in December 2025, which claimed a breach of contract of their initial settlement after she mentioned in an interview with the The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that, following their relationship, she didn\u2019t \u201cfeel safe.\u201d Although the arbitration was ultimately dismissed, Barnett now seeks judicial remedy, acknowledging that the NDA\u2019s provisions are part of LaBeouf\u2019s \u201ccontinuing efforts to silence\u201d her \u201cas a sexual abuse survivor.\u201d She does not seek financial compensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Barnett\u2026has nothing to gain from this case either professionally or financially,\u201d Rosengart adds in the complaint. \u201cShe files this action to right a wrong, and also on behalf of other women who are the victims of sexual and domestic violence who do not have the resources to speak out and defend themselves from predators.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FKA twigs has filed a new lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf, claiming the actor is attempting to prohibit her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,18,117,11817,19,17,5,11818,806],"class_list":{"0":"post-404582","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-fka-twigs","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-textaboveleftsmall","16":"tag-web"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116294485549902762","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
