FKA Twigs and Shia Labeouf have agreed to arrange her lawsuit that claimed that Labeouf was physically and emotionally offensive to her during their relationship.
A lawyer for the 37-year-old English singer and actor FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, submitted a request to Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday to dismiss her case against the 39-year-old American actor with prejudice, which means that it cannot be submitted again.
“Together with a constructive path ahead, we agreed to arrange our case outside the court,” the two said in a joint statement issued by their lawyers on Tuesday. “Although the details of the settlement remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future.”
For the first time submitted in 2020, the case had planned various test dates in the following years, but they were always delayed well in advance.
The two met and became a few in 2018 after Barnett was cast in a supporting role in “Honey Boy”, an autobiographical film about Labeouf’s upbringing as a child actor.
After an early “charm -offensive” from Labeouf, the relationship became a “living nightmare,” said her lawsuit.
She said that Labeouf brought her into a constant state of fear and humiliation, once hit her in a car, tried to strangle her and consciously gave her a sexually transmitted condition.
She said that he was also isolated her from family and friends, absolute fealey demanded and was angry with everyone, from waiters with whom she had been polite to her ex-fermented Robert Pattinson.
She said her experience was part of a pattern for Labeouf.
“Shia Labeouf hurts women,” said the suit. “He uses them. He abuses them, both physically and mentally. He is dangerous.”
Labouf said in a statement just after the lawsuit was brought that he had been offensive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I am ashamed of that history and I am sorry for those I hurt. “
But he denied the accusations in the lawsuit in a 2021 submission, and said that any injuries or damage that Barnett was sustained were not doing.
Labouf is best known for its roles in 2007 Transformers And in 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. He also played in the film 2019 The peanut butter Valk And in last year Megalopolis.
Known for her genre-bending music styles, FKA Twigs worked as a backup dancer for other artists before she released her studio debut, LP1in 2014. She followed it with 2019s Magdalene And Eusexua from earlier this year. As an actor she appeared in 2024s Crow.
