The two were together between 2018 and ’19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges a litany of frightening behavior by LaBeouf against FKA twigs, born Tahliah Barnett. It includes mental, physical and sexual abuse; controlling behavior (she was not allowed to look other men in the eye); deception (Barnett says he knowingly gave her an STD) and ongoing intimidation. In the court filing, Barnett said LaBeouf was so frightening and unpredictable, she was scared to even get out of bed in the middle of the night so as not to startle him, worried that he might mistake her as an intruder and shoot her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnett’s version of events is also corroborated in part by other on-record witnesses. One housekeeper states that she saw LaBeouf pick Barnett up, lock her in a room with him and verbally abuse her after Barnett refused to leave the house with him. Karolyn Pho, another ex-girlfriend of LaBeouf’s, details similar experiences, including one occasion on which he head-butted her hard enough to draw blood.

I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.” Later though, in separate correspondence with the newspaper, he stated that “many of these allegations are not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his emails to the \u003cem>Times\u003c/em>, LaBeouf repeatedly pointed to his addiction issues as being related to his abusive behavior. “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations,” he wrote. Later, he added that “I am not cured of my PTSD and alcoholism, but I am committed to doing what I need to do to recover, and I will forever be sorry to the people that I may have harmed along the way.” He also made a point to say he was currently “a sober member of a 12-step program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that addiction and abuse often do go hand-in-hand—\u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21949956/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the UCLA Center For Health Policy Research\u003c/a>, almost half of all victims of intimate partner violence say their abuser was under the influence when it happened. However, the allegations against LaBeouf in Barnett’s lawsuit go far beyond what one would expect from abuse spurred on by intoxication. In fact, some of the behavior described is regimented and around-the-clock—LaBeouf is even said to have had rules about how many specific times a day Barnett was expected to kiss him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the unlikelihood that LaBeouf was intoxicated for that entire period, pointing to an alcohol addiction as a reason for behavior this abhorrent in no way justifies it. One of the more egregious examples in the lawsuit describes an occasion in February 2019. On that day, Barnett says, LaBeouf drove dangerously and threatened to crash the car unless she immediately professed her love for him. Barnett says that after she finally persuaded him to pull over into a gas station, she attempted to leave but was thrown against the car, screamed at and then physically forced back into the vehicle. (Disturbingly, she says, no one at the gas station attempted to intervene.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13890310\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13890310\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/GettyImages-1088703666-800x618.jpg\" alt=\"FKA twigs and Shia LaBeouf alongside the rest of the cast of 'Honey Boy' at 2019's Sundance Film Festival.

The two were together between 2018 and ’19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges a litany of frightening behavior by LaBeouf against FKA twigs, born Tahliah Barnett. It includes mental, physical and sexual abuse; controlling behavior (she was not allowed to look other men in the eye); deception (Barnett says he knowingly gave her an STD) and ongoing intimidation. In the court filing, Barnett said LaBeouf was so frightening and unpredictable, she was scared to even get out of bed in the middle of the night so as not to startle him, worried that he might mistake her as an intruder and shoot her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnett’s version of events is also corroborated in part by other on-record witnesses. One housekeeper states that she saw LaBeouf pick Barnett up, lock her in a room with him and verbally abuse her after Barnett refused to leave the house with him. Karolyn Pho, another ex-girlfriend of LaBeouf’s, details similar experiences, including one occasion on which he head-butted her hard enough to draw blood. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"pop_108956","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When contacted by \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/arts/music/fka-twigs-shia-labeouf-abuse.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> for comment, LaBeouf appeared to own up to the accusations at first, stating: “I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years.

Later, he added that “I am not cured of my PTSD and alcoholism, but I am committed to doing what I need to do to recover, and I will forever be sorry to the people that I may have harmed along the way.” He also made a point to say he was currently “a sober member of a 12-step program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that addiction and abuse often do go hand-in-hand—\u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21949956/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the UCLA Center For Health Policy Research\u003c/a>, almost half of all victims of intimate partner violence say their abuser was under the influence when it happened. However, the allegations against LaBeouf in Barnett’s lawsuit go far beyond what one would expect from abuse spurred on by intoxication.

One of the more egregious examples in the lawsuit describes an occasion in February 2019. On that day, Barnett says, LaBeouf drove dangerously and threatened to crash the car unless she immediately professed her love for him. Barnett says that after she finally persuaded him to pull over into a gas station, she attempted to leave but was thrown against the car, screamed at and then physically forced back into the vehicle.
