FKA Twigs Drops LaBeouf Lawsuit After NDA Is Voided
FKA Twigs has dropped her latest lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf after he agreed that the non-disclosure agreement between them was terminated and void.
In a court filing on Oct. 6 in a Los Angeles court, the British musician agreed to dismiss the case, saying the litigation had achieved its purpose, according to Billboard. The case is now closed.
Twigs called the dismissal an important victory for the principle that women who speak out about sexual abuse should not be silenced by NDAs. Her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, said the agreement frees her to discuss her experience, advocate for other women and support charitable causes of her choice.
The disputed NDA, a contract clause that bars a person from discussing specified matters, was signed as part of a settlement in July 2025. That settlement had resolved Twigs' long-running sexual abuse case against LaBeouf.
Twigs first sued LaBeouf in December 2020, alleging sexual and physical abuse during their relationship, according to Reuters. She agreed to drop that sexual assault and battery case in July 2025 after reaching a private settlement outside of court, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
The dispute over the settlement terms became public months later. In December 2025, LaBeouf pursued an arbitration claim alleging Twigs had violated the NDA, according to The New York Times. An arbitration claim is heard privately outside court. That claim pointed to press statements in which she said she did not feel safe and wanted to help survivors.
Twigs responded in March with a new complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. In that filing, she claimed LaBeouf was trying to silence her by enforcing what she described as an illegal gag agreement. She sought a court order blocking him from enforcing portions of the NDA.
Her suit argued the agreement violated California's STAND Act, a 2019 law that bans the use of NDAs to conceal sexual assault, sexual harassment and discrimination. The Oct. 6 filing ends that fight over the agreement. It does not reopen the original 2020 abuse case, which was settled last year.
