“I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say,” he said in an apology after the lawsuit.

“I think it reminds me of some of the gaslighting I experienced when I was with him — the taking some of the blame, but not all of it and then denying it,” twigs said in the interview in response.

She recently went into more detail about her allegations of abuse, claiming he would “shameless brag” about shooting stray dogs, saying it helped him “get into character” for a role. Find out what she said.

FKA twigs is going into more detail about her allegations of abuse against Shia LaBeouf in an extensive interview with Elle.

One very disturbing allegation the 33-year-old entertainer made was that LaBeouf would “shameless brag” about shooting stray dogs, saying it helped him “get into character” as a gun-toting henchman for his role in 2020’s The Tax Collector.

FKA twigs confronted him, saying, “I said to him, ‘That’s really bad. Why are you doing that?’ And he was like, ‘Because I take my art seriously. You’re not supporting me in my art. This is what I do. It’s different from singing. I don’t just get up on a stage and do a few moves. I’m in the character.’ He made me feel bad, like I didn’t understand what it was like to be an actor or to do this…Method [acting technique].”

FKA twigs also spoke about the allegation that he knowingly gave her an STD. Elle‘s writer described what happened: “In March 2019…twigs began experiencing symptoms of a possible STD and confronted LaBeouf. The actor confirmed he suffered from a sexually transmitted disease and had never told twigs about his condition before. In fact, in December 2018, LaBeouf had tried to hide his symptoms by applying makeup, ostensibly gaslighting twigs. Horrified by what she was hearing, the singer visited her doctor, where bloodwork confirmed that twigs had been infected with the same disease as LaBeouf.”

She’s also alleging that members of his team knew of the alleged abuse. “There [were] people who have worked with Shia that I openly spoke to about the abuse that I was going through. The reaction that I got [from his team] was pretty much, ‘Okay. Well, it’s Sundance,’” she said.

Originally, FKA twigs wanted to keep their legal proceedings private and she demanded the following: “(1) Seek meaningful and consistent professional help to address his issues around abuse; (2) Donate money to an abused women’s shelter; and (3) Admit he had given twigs an STD and promise transparency around his sexual health status to future sexual partners.” Negotiations stalled, and now the case is being made public in court.

Shia recently responded to all of FKA twigs‘ allegations.

Sia made an allegation against Shia LaBeouf after FKA twigs filed her lawsuit against him for abuse and sexual battery.

Back in December of 2020, Sia said, “I too have been hurt emotionally by Shia, a pathological liar, who conned me into an adulterous relationship claiming to be single.”

Sia added, “I believe he’s very sick and have compassion for him AND his victims.”

In a new interview with The Sunday Times, published Sunday (February 14), Sia elaborated, “It turns out he was using the same lines on me and Twigsy, and eventually we found out because we ended up talking to one another,” she explained. “Both of us thought we were singly dating him. But that wasn’t the case. And he was still married.” Shia was reportedly married to actress Mia Goth.

She added that Shia said, he “wanted to marry me and live a sober life.” Sia then added, “I feel like I’m always gonna love him because he’s such a sick puppy.”

Shia actually just responded to FKA twigs‘ lawsuit and you can read his lengthy statement (and what he’s asking of her) right here.

In December, FKA twigs filed a lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf for relentless abuse and sexual battery during their relationship.

The 33-year-old entertainer, born Tahliah Debrett Barnett, described the allegations at length, which Shia, at the time, denied. In December of 2020, Shia said, “I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say,” before adding, “many of these allegations are not true,” but he owed the women “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”

Now, in February 2021, LaBeouf‘s legal team has filed a response.

The response states that he “denies, generally and specifically, each and every allegation contained in [Barnett]‘s Complaint, denies that [Barnett] has sustained any injury or loss by reason of any act or omission on the part of [LaBeouf], and denies that [Barnett] is entitled to any relief or damages whatsoever.”

His legal team added that “none of the acts alleged were based on sex and/or the conduct was not sexual.” He also added that he wants the judge to side with him and for FKA twigs to pay for not only his legal fees, but “further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.”

FKA twigs detailed even more allegations against him in a recent interview.

Shia LaBeouf and his talent agency, CAA, have parted ways, a new report from Variety claims.

The 34-year-old actor, who has been accused of sexual battery by FKA twigs, will also seek inpatient treatment at a rehab facility.

While CAA has not terminated their contract with Shia, the situation means he has taken a break from acting so he can “solely focus on his recovery and get the help he has admitted he needs.”

In addition, a source close to the situation added that Shia voluntarily checked himself in for treatment that will take place over a five week period. His release will be dependent on his recovery.

“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me,” he shared in a statement after the accusations were revealed.. “I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.”

FKA twigs first came forward with the abuse allegations against Shia, whom she dated for about a year from 2018 to 2019, late last year.

In another interview, the musician detailed the abuse she faced from the actor.

It has been over a month since FKA twigs filed a lawsuit against her ex Shia LaBeouf for relentless abuse and sexual battery.

“It is something in society that’s a really big problem and it’s really common, but for some reason we don’t talk about it,” she said on the Grounded with Louis Theroux podcast.

She revealed that she met him in 2019 on the set of his film Honey Boy and went through an “intense honeymoon period” which she said “is a signifier of how brilliant things can be. It sets the benchmark for if you behave well.”

The musician added, “If you fulfill all of the requirements and meet the rules, and all these things of the abuser, it can… be great,” she said, before adding he began testing her “emotional and spiritual boundaries.”

“Being nice to a waiter, or being polite to somebody, that could be seen as me flirting or wanting to engage in some sort of relationship with somebody else, when I’m literally just ordering pasta… I was told that I knew what he was like and if I loved him, I wouldn’t look men in the eye. That was my reality for a good four months,” she continued.

She alleged that he would count how many times she would kiss him in one day and was never sure “what the right number was.”

If she didn’t hit his quota, “he would start an argument with me, berate me for hours, make me feel like the worst person ever,” calling her a “terrible girlfriend.”

She said he also accused her of “staring at the ceiling and thinking about ways to leave him… accused me of not wanting to be with him. Accused me of wanting to be with somebody else. It would be always… between like four and seven in the morning.”

“All I can do is just think about myself when I’m 50 years old [and] I’ve got kids, I think about what I want to have stood for,” she shared. “This is something that was completely unexpected. I never thought anything like this would happen to me… when I’m older, if I have a daughter, I want to be able to say, ‘This thing happened to me. And I dealt with it.’ It’s a big thing to heal publicly and have to do it in front of everyone, but I can do it. I’m a big girl and I can do it.”

At the time she thought leaving him was “genuinely impossible. I felt so controlled and I felt so confused and I felt so low, beneath myself, that the fear of leaving and knowing I had all this work to do to get back to just feeling okay, it was completely overwhelming.”

Another famous entertainer also called out Shia as a pathological liar.

Shia LaBeouf and Margaret Qualley have reportedly split.

The couple have parted ways amid several allegations of emotional and physical abuse from ex-partners including FKA twigs, according to People on Thursday (January 7).

“They broke up on Saturday. They’re just in different places in their lives,” a source told the outlet.

Another source claims she was aware of the “backlash” she received for continuing to see Shia amid the lawsuit filed by FKA twigs..

The first source adds that her focus is acting, and that she is “ready to get back to work.”

The two were last seen holding hands on a post-Christmas hike back in December.

Earlier in the month, it was reported that Shia will be seeking “the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment that he desperately needs.”

All of these couples have recently split.
