In a significant development, British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs and actor Shia LaBeouf have reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by Twigs in 2020, where she accused her former partner of physical, mental, and emotional abuse. In a statement released on Tuesday, their legal representatives confirmed that both parties have mutually decided to settle, with specific terms remaining confidential.
Twigs, legally known as Tahliah Debrett Barnett, had previously alleged that her relationship with LaBeouf was marked by "relentless abuse." According to court documents, she described alarming incidents including being strangled, physically assaulted, and subjected to mental harassment. LaBeouf, for his part, has denied many allegations but expressed regret for the pain he had caused.
The lengthy legal battle, which began after their separation in 2019, saw delays, including a postponed trial that had been scheduled for the previous year. In their joint statement, Twigs and LaBeouf's attorneys expressed their desire to move forward positively, wishing each other personal happiness and professional success.
FKA Twigs has been vocal about the psychological impact of her experiences, citing PTSD resulting from the relationship. In a 2021 interview, she shared her ongoing healing journey and emphasized the importance of acknowledging and addressing trauma.
Twigs has recently gained recognition for her music, including her latest album "Eusexua," while LaBeouf has continued to act, with his most recent film being the crime drama "Henry Johnson." The lawsuit's resolution allows both artists to seek new beginnings in their personal and professional lives moving forward.
