Shia LaBeouf recently settled a high-profile lawsuit filed in 2020 by his ex- girlfriend, British musician FKA Twigs (Tahliah Debrett Barnett). The lawsuit accused LaBeouf of sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress during their relationship from 2018 to 2019. Among the allegations were that LaBeouf subjected her to "relentless abuse" including physical violence like choking, throwing her against a car, threats, and knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted infection. The case had been set for trial but was resolved out of court in July 2025 through a confidential settlement, with both parties' lawyers expressing wishes for each other's personal happiness and professional success moving forward. LaBeouf has denied the allegations but acknowledged past issues with alcoholism and aggression, expressing regret for harming those close to him. This resolution ends a legal battle that lasted nearly five years and attracted widespread media attention due to the severity of the claims and LaBeouf's public profile as an actor known for roles in films such as Transformers and Honey Boy. The details of the settlement remain private, and the dismissal of the case prevents FKA Twigs from refiling these claims in the future.
