FKA Twigs sues Shia LaBeouf for assault and battery, declines to disclose medical history

The singer is claiming that LaBeouf knowingly transmitted a sexually transmitted disease to her.

FKA Twigs' lawyers are criticizing Shia LaBeouf's demands for her full medical records as her lawsuit against her former boyfriend nears its October trial date.

According to court papers filed on June 24 in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by People magazine, lawyers representing the British singer-songwriter, known legally as Tahliah Debrett Barnett, contended that LaBeouf's legal team is "improperly seeking Plaintiff’s private financial and medical information that has no bearing on the issues in this case."

According to the court documents, Twigs' lawyers mentioned that the 36-year-old singer has undergone a psychotherapy evaluation and provided over 1,300 pages of documents for her upcoming trial against Shia LaBeouf, 38. In her lawsuit filed in December 2020, Twigs accused LaBeouf of sexual and physical assault and battery.

Furthermore, Twigs' attorneys noted that LaBeouf's legal team "seeks the entirety of Plaintiff’s medical history, going well beyond the injuries that are actually at issue," without providing justification for needing her "medical history, unrelated to her emotional distress or the condition transmitted to her by [LaBeouf]."

Twigs' attorneys stated in the court documents that the requests are excessively broad and demanding. “As such, Defendant is not entitled to this highly private information."

FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf’s relationship timeline

Twigs and LaBeouf were in a relationship from 2018 to 2019 after meeting on the set of their 2019 film Honey Boy, during a period when LaBeouf was separated from his wife, Mia Goth.

In 2019, the singer chose to end her relationship with LaBeouf and later characterized her time with the actor as "the worst thing I've ever been through in the whole of my life" in an interview with The New York Times, which coincided with the filing of her lawsuit.

In the same article, she also claimed that LaBeouf knowingly transmitted a sexually transmitted disease to her.

When Twigs filed her lawsuit in 2020, LaBeouf communicated to the Times through several emails that he had "no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations."

"I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years," he wrote to the publication. "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."

Twigs' legal case against LaBeouf is set for trial on October 14th.
