Shia LaBeouf Settles Lawsuit From FKA Twigs Over Illegal NDA

Key Points:

• FKA Twigs has settled a lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf, resulting in the voiding of a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that had previously barred her from discussing sexual violence and her alleged abuse by the actor.
• The settlement allows Twigs to freely speak about her experiences and advocate for other survivors, with her lawyer emphasizing the victory as a significant step for female survivors of sexual abuse.
• LaBeouf’s legal team expressed goodwill toward Twigs and acknowledged that she can continue discussing the matter publicly without restrictions.
• The dispute arose after LaBeouf claimed breach of contract over Twigs’ interview remarks, but the arbitration was dismissed, and Twigs challenged the NDA terms as violating California’s STAND Act, which limits NDAs in sexual misconduct cases.
• Twigs had accused LaBeouf of verbal, mental, and physical abuse, including an incident of strangulation, and her case highlights ongoing efforts to prevent secret settlements that silence survivors of sexual abuse.
