FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf Settle Lawsuit After Long Legal Battle**
The British singer-songwriter and actor have reached an agreement in a lawsuit concerning allegations of abuse, ending nearly five years of legal struggles.**
In a significant development, British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, and actor Shia LaBeouf have reached a settlement in the abuse lawsuit that Twigs filed in 2020. The agreement brings closure to a prolonged legal battle, stemming from accusations by Twigs asserting that her former partner inflicted physical, mental, and emotional abuse during their nine-month relationship.
The lawyers for both parties issued a joint statement confirming the resolution, while also declaring that the specifics of the settlement would remain confidential. LaBeouf has previously contested many of the claims levied against him but expressed remorse for the pain caused. After nearly five years of litigation that has seen little progress, this settlement marks a new chapter for both individuals.
In the official documentation reviewed by Us Weekly, Barnett sought to have all claims against LaBeouf dismissed with prejudice, allowing no opportunities for future re-filing. The lawsuit had initially anticipated a trial in 2022, but was later postponed, requiring resolution through out-of-court negotiations.
Both legal representatives conveyed mutual wishes for personal happiness and professional success in their statement. "Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court," they expressed, highlighting a sense of closure despite the painful circumstances surrounding the case.
FKA Twigs and LaBeouf met on the set of the film "Honey Boy" in 2018 before their relationship ended in 2019 due to conflicting schedules. Throughout the legal proceedings, Barnett detailed allegations of "relentless abuse," noting disturbing incidents of confinement and aggression.
In 2021, during an interview with Louis Theroux on BBC Radio 4, Twigs shared the emotional scars left from the partnership, experiencing ongoing mental trauma and PTSD as a result of her experiences.
In the past, LaBeouf acknowledged his history of abusive behavior and indicated a desire to take accountability for his actions. "I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt," he stated in an interview.
As of now, Barnett continues to pursue her artistic career, having released her latest album, "Eusexua," earlier this year, earning several accolades including nominations for a Brit Award. Meanwhile, LaBeouf has recently worked on the crime drama film "Henry Johnson," continuing to navigate his acting career amidst controversies.
