FKA twigs Drops Suit Against Shia LaBeouf After He Agrees to Void NDA
The Grammy-winning singer who accused LaBeouf of abuse used a California law to challenge his use of a nondisclosure agreement in a settlement.
FKA twigs has dropped her lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf after he agreed to void a non-disclosure agreement. The singer had accused LaBeouf of abuse and claimed the NDA was illegal under California's Stand Together Against Non-Disclosure Act.
According to Stereogum, LaBeouf's team initially argued that the NDA was legal because the STAND Act only protects survivors of sexual assault, not sexual battery. However, they have since changed their position, rendering the NDA "terminated and void".
FKA twigs' lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, says the development allows his client to "discuss her own experience" and publicly advocate "without fear of reprisal". Billboard reports that twigs considers this an "important victory" for women who want to speak out about sexual abuse.
