KA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf have reached a settlement in the singer’s 2020 lawsuit alleging abuse.
The British artist had accused the Transformers actor, whom she dated for nine months, of physical, emotional, and mental abuse during their relationship.
In a joint statement released by their attorneys, both parties acknowledged the agreement, adding that the terms of the settlement would “remain private.”
LaBeouf has previously denied many of the claims brought against him, though he has apologized “to those I may have hurt.”
The resolution marks the end of a nearly five-year legal battle that made little headway toward trial. According to court documents, Twigs filed to dismiss all claims against LaBeouf with prejudice, meaning she cannot bring them again in the future.
A trial had initially been scheduled for 2023, but it was later delayed.
“Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court,” a statement read from LeBeouf’s attorneys. “While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future.”
Twigs and LaBeouf first met on the set of Honey Boy in 2018 and ended their relationship in 2019, citing conflicting work schedules as the reason.
However, in her 2020 filing, Barnett described the relationship as one marked by “relentless abuse,” including “mental and verbal harassment” that she claimed escalated into “physical violence.”
Twigs alleges LaBeouf strangled her in her sleep, threw her against a car during an argument, and lashed out when she interacted with other men.
