OlderFKA twigs Speaks Out About Lawsuit Against Shia LaBeouf: 'I Never Thought Something Like This Would Happen To Me'
FKA twigs is opening up on social media about her lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, the 32-year-old performer recounts her time with Shia and reveals why she’s coming forward now with her experiences.
“It may be surprising to you to learn that i was in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship. it was hard for me to process too, during and after i never thought something like this would happen to me,” she started out in her tweets to her fans. “Which is why i have decided it’s important for me to talk about it and try to help people understand that when you are under the coercive control of an abuser or in an interpersonal violent relationship leaving doesn’t feel like a safe or achievable option.”
i hope that by sharing my experience i can truly help others feel like they are not alone and shed some light on how those who are worried somebody they care about may be in an abusive relationship can help because i understand it can be confusing and hard to know what to do.

FKA twigs continues on, saying, “my second worst nightmare is being forced to share with the world that i am a survivor of domestic violence. my first worst nightmare is not telling anyone and knowing that i could have helped even just one person by sharing my story.”
After sharing her stance on the situation, FKA twigs also linked to a handful of organizations that help those who have been affected by domestic violence.
