Shia Labeouf In More Legal Trouble As Ex FKA Twigs Files New Lawsuit Tying Back To Previous Sexual Battery Case

Shia Labeouf close-up talking to Jon Bernthal on Real Ones.

Shia Labeouf had quite a hectic February, during which he was arrested in New Orleans (during an alleged week-long Mardi Gras binge) for two counts of battery, and was also accused of shouting homophobic slurs at local bartenders. The actor went public in the aftermath with apologies, but not everyone was having it. Now, just over a month after his NOLA jailtime, Labeouf is facing more legal troubles tied to ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs.

The musician, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, has filed a new lawsuit against Labeouf in California that dredges up the 2020 sexual battery lawsuit she filed against him, or at least the settlement that was agreed upon thereafter. According to TMZ, FKA Twigs is arguing that the Transformers star is attempting to silence her and get an "exorbitant" amoung of money from her, citing NDA restrictions detailed in the aforementioned settlement. She then goes on to claim that those NDA terms were unlawful in California under the Stand Together Against Non-Disclosure Act, which exists largely to challenge questionable requirement from such confidentiality agreements.
