FKA Twigs Freed From NDA After Settling Legal Battle With Shia LaBeouf

FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, has finally been released from a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) following her legal battle with actor Shia LaBeouf. The singer announced on Monday that she has settled the lawsuit against LaBeouf and requested the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss the case. According to her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, this victory allows Twigs to speak about her experiences and advocate for other women who might be less privileged.

The settlement came six years after Barnett initially sued LaBeouf, alleging sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress after their relationship ended in 2019. The two had met on the set of Honey Boy. As part of the settlement, Barnett was bound by an NDA, but LaBeouf sought to involve her in a new legal proceeding, claiming she had violated the agreement.

Barnett, however, accused LaBeouf of abusing the NDA and using it as a tool for intimidation. LaBeouf denied these accusations in legal filings. Now that the NDA has been voided, Barnett is free to discuss her experience, support charitable causes, and advocate for other women who might be going through similar situations.
