FKA Twigs has filed a new lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the claim stemmed from an interview in which she said she “wouldn’t feel safe” discussing a chapter in her life behind her back. Although arbitration was later rejected, the case has escalated into a new legal battle.In a complaint filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Twigs alleges that LaBeouf is attempting to place illegal limits on speaking out about matters related to violence and alleged abuse. It is seeking a court order to block enforcement of portions of the NDA, arguing that they violate California law.
FKA Twigs’ lawyer has reacted
Singer-songwriter Mathew Rosengart’s lawyer wrote in the complaint that Tahliah Barnett “brings this action to right a wrong, and on behalf of other women who are victims of sexual and domestic violence who do not have the means to speak up against predators and defend themselves.”He added: “In doing so, he seeks to silence or silence survivors of sexual misconduct like himself.”
