FKA Twigs Slams Shia LaBeouf's Request For 'Highly Private' Records Ahead Of Assault Trial
HuffPost
The singer dated LaBeouf from 2018 to 2019 and later accused him in a lawsuit of sexual and physical assault and infliction of emotional distress.
FKA Twigs is trying to keep her complete medical history out of the courtroom.
Four years ago, the musician accused ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf of “relentless abuse” in a lawsuit alleging sexual and physical assault. In court documents filed Monday, her attorneys denounced LaBeouf for requesting her “highly private” records ahead of his trial.
In the Los Angeles Superior Court filing obtained by People, the singer’s lawyers argued that the defense is “improperly seeking” both “private financial and medical information,” despite these records having “no bearing on the issues in this case,” which goes to trial in October.
Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, dated LaBeouf from 2018 to 2019.
Barnett claimed in her 2020 lawsuit that LaBeouf tried to choke her several times during their relationship. She also alleged that he once removed his seat belt while driving “manically,” and that he threatened “to crash the car” unless Barnett professed “her eternal love for him.”
