LOS ANGELES – Singer FKA twigs filed a lawsuit Friday alleging that Shia LaBeouf was physically and emotionally abusive during their relationship from 2018 to 2019, saying her experience was part of a pattern of terrorizing women for the 34-year-old actor. “Shia LaBeouf hurts women,” the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court said in its opening lines. On a Valentine’s Day getaway in 2019, FKA twigs awoke to LaBeouf choking her and she was paralyzed with fear, the lawsuit said. She made several attempts to leave him that he resisted, but he later ended the relationship himself, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said Pho allied herself with Barnett in attempt to protect women from LaBeouf, although Pho is not listed as a plaintiff.
