Read our privacy policy Singer FKA twigs, born Tahliah Debrett Barnett, has filed a lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf, accusing the actor of “relentless abuse”, including sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit states that Mr LaBeouf also “knowingly gave Ms Barnett a sexually transmitted disease". According to The New York Times, the lawsuit lays out a number of troubling examples of abuse, including one instance just after Valentine's Day 2019 when Ms Barnett and Mr LaBeouf were driving together toward Los Angeles when the actor removed his seatbelt and threatened to crash the car unless she said that she loved him.
