Shia LaBeouf and FKA Twigs Settle After High-Profile Legal Battle
SHOCKING CELEBRITY SPLIT! FKA TWIGS AND SHIA LABEOUF SETTLE BATTLE-READY LAWSUIT
The drama is finally over, folks! After nearly four years of high-stakes legal warfare, British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs (real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett) has officially dropped her $10 million lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf. And in a stunning turn of events, the 37-year-old musician has requested to dismiss all claims against the troubled actor with prejudice, effectively putting an end to their very public and very messy feud.
According to court documents obtained by TheScholarlyNote.com, Twigs' legal team confirmed that the matter had been resolved privately. In a joint statement provided exclusively to this publication, attorneys for both parties revealed that they had agreed to settle out of court, with the details remaining private. But rest assured, we're about to spill all the tea on one of Hollywood's most infamous feuds!
For those who may have been living under a rock, Twigs first filed her lawsuit against LaBeouf in 2020, alleging sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress during their tumultuous relationship. The singer-songwriter, known for her ethereal vocals and genre-bending sound, claimed that the 39-year-old actor knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and physically assaulted her on multiple occasions.
LaBeouf has long been accused of abusive behavior, with numerous women coming forward to share their own horror stories. In his defense, the embattled actor has maintained that he's made progress in addressing his issues, citing his diagnosis with PTSD and alcoholism.
But despite LaBeouf's claims of personal growth, Twigs' original complaint painted a very different picture. The singer-songwriter alleged that she suffered severe emotional distress as a result of their relationship, including anxiety attacks, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).
As the drama unfolded, both parties traded public jabs, with LaBeouf branding his ex a "saint" who had saved his life. Meanwhile, Twigs slammed her former lover for his "gaslighting" tactics.
In a candid interview with Vogue in March 2024, Twigs opened up about the aftermath of their relationship, revealing that she'd struggled to come to terms with the trauma she experienced. "I think naively I thought it would be like any other break-up, that I'd be sad for six months to a year, and then one day I'd wake up and everything would be fine," she shared.
"But the fact is being abused changes the whole of your nervous system. Because my window of tolerance is now much smaller than it used to be, my body manifests stress in quite extreme ways – it really shows me when it's upset."
Twigs' words of wisdom echoed the sentiments of many abuse survivors, who often struggle to find solace and healing after such traumatic experiences.
So what's next for these two former flames? LaBeouf has been keeping a low profile since his very public apology tour, while Twigs has found love again with her new beau, Jordan Hemingway. The singer-songwriter gushed about their relationship in a recent interview, revealing that she felt "really ready to stand up for things that I believe in, to protect people who I love."
Meanwhile, LaBeouf is married to actress Mia Goth, with whom he shares a daughter named Isabel. Over the years, the pair has weathered a few storms, including a separation and a divorce filing in 2018.
As the dust settles on this very public feud, we can't help but wonder: what's next for these two troubled souls? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf have both emerged stronger, wiser, and more resilient from their battle.
