FKA Twigs Fights NDA Shield in Shia LaBeouf Case

FKA twigs has filed a Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit to block enforcement of parts of a settlement NDA with Shia LaBeouf, arguing the provisions silence survivors and violate California law, including the STAND Act that limits non-disclosures in sexual misconduct cases. The move follows LaBeouf’s prior arbitration demand and its dismissal, with twigs’ attorney Mathew Rosengart framing the case as a pursuit of justice for survivors rather than money. The filing seeks a court order to prevent the NDA from restricting discourse about acts relating to her own alleged abuse by LaBeouf and related discussions.
