FKA twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, has sued actor Shia LaBeouf claiming she subjected him to physical, emotional and mental abuse during their romantic relationship. She also accuses him of "sexual battery", a term that varies from state to state, but in California, where the lawsuit was filed, Temri describes touching someone sexually, without his consent.
In an interview with the New York Times, FKA twigs, 32, described her experience with Shia LaBeouf as the worst thing that has ever happened in her life and said she wanted to raise awareness of "tactics used by abusers to control victims." ".
In response to detailed allegations about his behavior, Shia LaBeouf told the Times that "many of these allegations are not true," but added that he has a history of alcohol addiction and aggressive behavior and has hurt many people.
Në padi thuhet se në shkurt të vitit 2019, Tahliah ishte pasagjere në një automjet të LaBeouf dhe ai i hoqi rripin e sigurimit dhe e kërcënoi se do të përplasej nëse ajo nuk deklaronte se e donte. Ata kishin qenë në një udhëtim në shkretëtirë jashtë Los Angeles-it, gjatë të cilit, pretendon Tahliah, LaBeouf e zgjoi në mes të natës duke e mbytur.
Ajo tha se nuk shkoi në polici në fillim nga shqetësimi se karriera e LaBeouf do të dëmtohej, dhe më vonë sepse mendoi se nuk do të merrej seriozisht. “Jam një person me ngjyrë që është femër”.
Stilistja Karolyn Pho tha për New York Times se LaBeouf gjithashtu ka abuzuar me të gjatë marrëdhënies së tyre romantike.
In her statement, Tahliah says the actor separated her from her peers, carried a gun near the bed and insisted she sleep naked. She added that she was afraid to use the toilet at night lest he confuse her with a thief and throw her. In the lawsuit, it is alleged that LaBeouf deliberately transmitted a sexually transmitted disease.
Tahliah told the New York Times that fleeing LaBeouf became "difficult and dangerous". In the spring of 2019, he stopped her from leaving, grabbed her violently, locked her in a room, and yelled at her.
FKA twigs and LaBeouf have been linked for just under a year. She was previously engaged to Robert Pattinson, with whom she split in 2017 after three years together.
