FKA Twigs Drops Lawsuit Against Shia LaBeouf, Says Actor Voided NDA: ‘An Important Victory’
The case had claimed that LaBeouf was using an illegal gag agreement to silence her: "Women who speak out about sexual abuse should not be silenced by NDAs."
FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, has filed for dismissal of her lawsuit against actor Shia LaBeouf, stating it was successful because Shia agreed to void a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that she claimed was illegal. The lawsuit was filed in March 2025, alleging that Shia was attempting to silence her through enforcement of an illegal gag agreement.
Twigs had signed the NDA as part of a settlement in the sexual abuse case she filed against Shia in the late 2010s, when they dated. In her court filing, Twigs' lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, stated that Shia had agreed that the NDA was "terminated and void," allowing the lawsuit to achieve its purpose. The settlement will permit Twigs to openly discuss her experience and advocate for other women who may lack resources to do so, without fear of retaliation.
This is seen as an important victory for women speaking out about sexual abuse, as it challenges NDAs that contravene California law. Shia's legal team did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the filing.
