FKA Twigs Accuses Shia LaBeouf of ‘Egregiously Evasive’ Legal Tactics Ahead of Sexual Battery Case Trial Date Hearing

In a flurry of legal activity, FKA Twigs says Shia LaBoeuf dodged a scheduled deposition in her lawsuit claiming sexual battery and assault.

Nearly four years after musician FKA Twigs sued actor Shia LaBeouf for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress, the high-profile case is heating up, with a flurry of legal activity over the weekend involving accusations of missing electronic devices, busy schedules and both parties dodging depositions. On Oct. 18, FKA Twigs, whose birth name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, filed a withering statement with the court over LaBeouf’s failure to meet basic discovery obligations, noting that he became “suddenly unavailable” for his long-in-the-making deposition on Oct. 11. LaBeouf’s legal team is led by Shawn Holley, who is currently knee deep in the sprawling Sean “Diddy” Combs case, which is playing out on multiple fronts in both criminal and civil courts.
