FKA Twigs is speaking up about the long-lasting effects of abuse. The singer-songwriter said this week that “being abused changes the whole of your nervous system” when speaking about her allegations against former partner Shia Labeouf.
Twigs, born Tahliah Barnett, accused Labeouf of sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress in 2021. After several delays, the case is set to go to court in October.
“I’ve had to be very compassionate with myself and really listen to myself to get better,” Barnett told British Vogue this week. “Now I want to challenge myself to know more about the simple, most pure and important things: love, nature, food, a nontoxic lifestyle, my body.”
Barnett also spoke up about how her experience has continued to shape her life in real time. “I think naively I thought it would be like any other breakup, that I’d be sad for six months to a year,...

Shia Labeouf and CAA have mutually parted ways, Deadline has confirmed.
Labeouf has reportedly been receiving inpatient care over the last month in the wake of a December lawsuit filed against the actor by his ex-girlfriend, musician Fka Twigs over physical abuse during their relationship.

Shia Labeouf had a long road to travel to rehabilitate his reputation after a 2017 traffic stop in which he told a black police officer that he was going to hell for the color of his skin, accused him of arresting him for being white, and ranted about his wife watching pornography featuring “black dicks.” But, following a grovelling public apology, a year of probation and attending anger management therapy, he seemed to have accomplished it.
Hits like Honey Boy (which he also wrote) and The Peanut Butter Falcon won back audiences and he appeared to be on an upward trajectory. There were even credible reports by Variety that Marvel Studios were considering him for a major McU role, which would have marked his full return to A-list acting.
Then, his former partner Tahliah Barnett (Aka award-winning musician Fka Twigs) sued him for sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress.

Shia Labeouf has not had a great 2020. At the beginning of the year, things looked rosy. He’d apparently overcome his alcohol dependency issues, was picking up good notices for Honey Boy, had won over audiences with the excellent The Peanut Butter Falcon and there were multiple reports that major studios considered him a rising prospect once again. The peak came when he beat out several A-list competitors for a role in Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, apparently making his mainstream comeback official.
Then the lawsuit from his former partner Tahliah Barnett (aka Fka Twigs) hit the news. This alleged a shocking litany of abusive behavior including strangulation, beatings, intentionally infecting her with an Std and getting his kicks by shooting stray dogs. The allegations were backed up by other women and – quite rightly – have blown a hole in his career revival.

Shia Labeouf has been sued today by his Honey Boy co-star Fka Twigs for sexual battery, and assault.
“This action has been brought not for personal gain, but to set the record straight, and to help ensure that no more women must undergo the abuse that Shia Labeouf has inflicted on his prior romantic partners,” states the detailed and often harrowing complaint filed by the actress-musician Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court. “The days in which Labeouf can mistreat and harm women with impunity are over,” the damages-seeking document adds, citing a cycle of “relentless abuse” by the Emmy-winning actor.
Twigs and Labeouf met when she was cast in the 2019 Alama Har’el drama.
Represented by attorney Bryan Freedman under her Fka Twigs’ real name, Tahliah Barnett, real name, the action also cited similar violent behavior by Labeouf against Karolyn Pho. Like Twigs, stylist Pho was also a former romantic partner of Labeouf’s.
