The Lowdown
The point of this case was never money. It was whether twigs could talk about her own experience, and she now can. That outcome matters beyond one celebrity case for anyone bound by a settlement NDA.
Key Takeaways
- FKA twigs moved to dismiss her second lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf on October 5 after he agreed to void the nondisclosure provisions (AP).
- She had sued again in March, arguing the NDA in their earlier settlement illegally silenced her under California law (AP).
- Her original 2020 suit accused LaBeouf of sexual battery and assault (The Hollywood Reporter).
The Story
FKA twigs and Shia LaBeouf have settled their dispute over a nondisclosure agreement. The singer moved to dismiss her second lawsuit after LaBeouf agreed to void the NDA provisions (Los Angeles Times).
Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, first sued LaBeouf in 2020, alleging he emotionally and physically abused her during a relationship that began on the film Honey Boy. That suit was settled and dismissed in 2025. She sued again in March, saying the settlement’s nondisclosure terms illegally silenced her under California law (AP).
The settlement came one day before Mia Goth filed for divorce from LaBeouf in Los Angeles (AP).
