Transformers alum Shia LaBeouf’s legal team recently responded to FKA Twigs’ sexual battery and abuse allegations that she made in December. Scroll down to see what they said.
Transformers alum Shia LaBeouf is finally responding to allegations of sexual abuse made by his former partner FKA twigs in December. For the unversed, FKA filed a lawsuit against her ex-beau for relentless abuse and sexual battery during their relationship.
In her initial lawsuit, FKA, 33, described the allegations at length, which Shia denied at the time. Later in the month, Shia said, “I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behaviour made them feel. I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say,” before adding, “many of these allegations are not true,” but he owed the women “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”
Now, Shia’s legal team has filed an official response. TMZ reported that Shia is still denying every allegation. In the legal documents obtained by the tabloid, the legal team wrote: “Shia denies, generally and specifically, each and every allegation contained in [Barnett]‘s Complaint, denies that [Barnett] has sustained any injury or loss by reason of any act or omission on the part of [LaBeouf], and denies that [Barnett] is entitled to any relief or damages whatsoever.” His legal team added that “none of the acts alleged were based on sex and/or the conduct was not sexual.” He also added that he wants the judge to side with him and for FKA twigs to pay for not only his legal fees, but “further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.”
