Shia LaBeouf Faces New Lawsuit from FKA Twigs

FKA Twigs has filed a new lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf in Los Angeles, accusing him of attempting to prevent her from speaking out about sexual abuse through an “illegal” non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This development comes after Twigs previously sued LaBeouf in 2020, alleging “relentless abuse” during their relationship, which included accusations of sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress.

The 2020 lawsuit resulted in a settlement in 2025, which Twigs’ lawyer now claims included an “unlawful” NDA that violates the STAND Act, legislation designed to protect sexual assault victims from being silenced. The current lawsuit seeks a court order to prohibit LaBeouf from enforcing sections of the NDA.

In December 2025, LaBeouf filed a secret arbitration complaint against Twigs, claiming she breached their contract. However, Twigs does not seek financial compensation from this new lawsuit; instead, her legal team emphasizes the importance of addressing the wrongs committed and advocating for other women who have faced similar situations.

Matthew Rosengart, Twigs’ attorney, stated, “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’s attorney has denied the claims made by Twigs.

LaBeouf has acknowledged a history of abusive behavior towards women, which adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal battles. In a statement, he remarked, “I owe these women the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”

Observers note that this lawsuit could set a precedent regarding the enforceability of NDAs in cases of sexual abuse, particularly in California, where lawmakers have made clear that survivors should have the right to tell their stories without fear or coercion.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the courts will respond to the claims made by Twigs and the implications for LaBeouf’s legal strategy. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the next steps in this case.
