FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf’s legal war has begun again with a new claim filed recently, at a time when he is already deep in legal trouble.
The 38-year-old musician, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, filed a new lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming the Transformers star tried to “silence her” with a “settlement document that contains terms illegal under California’s Stand Together Against Non-Disclosure Act (STAND Act).”
The Cellophane singer alleged that LaBeouf filed a lawsuit against her for breaching an NDA to receive an “exorbitant” paycheck, as noted in court documents obtained by Page six.
LaBeouf filed the complaint in October 2025 when Twigs made some statements in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
When the interviewer asked if she felt safe, the singer said, “No, I wouldn’t feel safe. I feel really passionate about being involved with organizations like Sistah Space and No More, to help survivors in any way I can. I think it’s less about me at this point and more about looking forward. Just, you know, moving on with my life.”
Despite claiming the comment was against an NDA they signed, LaBeouf dropped the lawsuit earlier this month after Twigs’ attorney requested a dismissal in court.
The new filing claims that the actor himself spoke about his past relationship with Twigs in his recent past Channel 5 interview that allegedly violated the NDA itself. It went on to state that killer hitmaker is seeking “a court declaration that the [2025] the NDA provisions of the settlement agreement are illegal, unenforceable and void.”
The former couple ended their relationship with a legal battle in 2020, with Twigs accusing LaBeouf of sexual abuse, assault and infliction of emotional distress. However, they later settled the case out of court.
