FKA Twigs has filed a new lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf, accusing him of trying to prevent her from speaking out about sexual abuse through an illegal non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This legal action comes after Twigs previously sued LaBeouf in 2020, alleging relentless physical, sexual, and emotional abuse during their relationship.

The latest lawsuit claims that the NDA, which was part of a 2025 settlement, unlawfully silences victims of sexual assault, violating the STAND Act. Twigs’ attorney emphasized that LaBeouf has attempted to control her for nearly a decade, stating, “Shia LaBeouf has tried to control Tahliah Barnett for the better part of a decade.”

In her new lawsuit, Twigs does not seek financial compensation but aims to obtain a court order that would prohibit LaBeouf from enforcing the NDA’s restrictive clauses. Her lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, remarked, “She files this action to right a wrong, and also on behalf of other women who are the victims of sexual and domestic violence who do not have the resources to speak out and defend themselves from predators.”

LaBeouf has acknowledged a history of abusive behavior towards women, and in December 2025, he filed a secret arbitration complaint against Twigs, alleging she breached their contract. In response to the new allegations, LaBeouf’s attorney has denied the claims made by Twigs.

Observers note that this legal battle highlights ongoing issues surrounding the treatment of sexual assault victims and the use of NDAs to silence them. As the California Legislature has made clear, survivors should have the right to tell their stories without fear or coercion.

As this case unfolds, it raises critical questions about the accountability of individuals in positions of power and the legal protections available to victims of abuse. Details remain unconfirmed.
