What is the FKA twigs lawsuit about?

FKA twigs sues Shia LaBeouf over settlement NDA

FKA twigs has filed a new lawsuit connected to her prior legal battle with Shia LaBeouf. The core issue is an NDA tied to an earlier settlement.

In the lead-up to this latest filing, the parties had previously settled a sexual battery lawsuit that began in 2020. According to the provided stories, that settlement included a non-disclosure agreement, and after the settlement, LaBeouf allegedly sought to restrict twigs from publicly discussing the alleged sexual abuse she described.

The new lawsuit characterizes the NDA-related effort as “illegal,” framing the dispute around whether LaBeouf is trying to prevent her from speaking out.

This matters because NDA-enforced silence can become a central flashpoint for public accountability, especially when survivors speak about alleged abuse and attempt to discuss their experiences publicly. The added legal step indicates that—even after a settlement—disagreements over the NDA’s scope or enforcement can keep litigation moving.

Practically, the stories don’t provide details like the exact legal claims used beyond characterizing the NDA effort and the NDA’s connection to the prior settlement. They also don’t outline what remedies twigs is seeking in the new case.

Still, the factual through-line is clear: twigs and LaBeouf resolved a lawsuit previously, and the new filing focuses on an alleged attempt to restrict her public discussion of the abuse she says she experienced, through the settlement’s confidentiality terms.
