FKA Twigs attends the Grammy Awards on Jan. 26, 2020, in Los Angeles.
During a Valentine s Day getaway last year, actor Shia LaBeouf woke up his then-girlfriend FKA Twigs by towering over her and violently squeezing her body and arms so that she was trapped, the singer said in a lawsuit filed Friday.
LaBeouf then put his hands around her neck, the complaint states, strangling the Grammy-nominated performer while whispering, if you don’t stop you are going to lose me.
FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, filed the lawsuit against her former boyfriend in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accusing LaBeouf of being repeatedly physically and emotionally abusive during their 2018–19 relationship and knowingly infecting her with a sexually transmitted infection.
