FKA twigs and Shia LaBeouf have ended their latest legal battle. On Monday, Oct 5, 2026, twigs' lawyer Mathew Rosengart filed a notice of settlement in Los Angeles Superior Court, with LaBeouf agreeing that the confidentiality terms at the center of the dispute "are terminated and void," according to court documents obtained by USA Today. Twigs dismissed the case with prejudice on Oct 6, 2026 — meaning it cannot be refiled — with her counsel saying the action had "achieved its purpose."
The fight began in March 2026, when twigs (born Tahliah Barnett) challenged the secrecy provisions of a 2025 settlement with her former partner, arguing they unlawfully stopped her from speaking about alleged abuse during their 2018–2019 relationship. That 2025 deal had closed her 2020 lawsuit accusing LaBeouf of sexual battery, assault and emotional distress — claims that were never tried and which LaBeouf denied. According to reports, the latest round followed a Hollywood Reporter interview in October 2025, after which LaBeouf's side opened an arbitration claim on Dec 19, 2025 alleging breach of the settlement — an arbitration that was later dismissed. Her 2026 suit leaned on California's Stand Together Against Non-Disclosure Act, the law she cited to argue the secrecy terms were unlawful. Twigs is currently promoting new music including "On Your Mind" with Lil Yachty, whose official video you can watch below.

FKA Twigs vs Shia LaBeouf: Key Facts
Filing date: Monday, Oct 5, 2026 — notice of settlement filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, per court documents obtained by USA Today (Oct 6, 2026).
Lawyer: Mathew Rosengart, counsel for FKA twigs.
NDA status: LaBeouf agreed the confidentiality terms "are terminated and void."
Case status: Dismissed with prejudice on Oct 6, 2026 (Law Commentary) — the same claims cannot be refiled. Her counsel said the action had "achieved its purpose."
Her statement: Rosengart called the outcome an "important victory" for the principle that women who speak out about sexual abuse should not be silenced by NDAs. He told People it frees twigs to discuss her experience and support charitable causes "without fear of reprisal."
His statement: LaBeouf's attorney Shawn Holley said: "Shia wishes twigs nothing but the best in his life and career and, to that end, has agreed to end their long-standing dispute."
Background: Twigs sued LaBeouf in March 2026 over the confidentiality clauses of their 2025 settlement — itself the resolution of her 2020 lawsuit accusing him of sexual battery, assault and emotional distress during their 2018–2019 relationship. Those claims were never tried; LaBeouf denied them. Per reports, a Hollywood Reporter interview (Oct 2025) preceded an arbitration claim (Dec 19, 2025) alleging breach, which was later dismissed.
The law at issue: California's Stand Together Against Non-Disclosure Act — the statute under which she argued the secrecy provisions were unlawful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the lawsuit really over?
Yes. The Oct 6, 2026 dismissal was with prejudice, so the same claims cannot be brought again — and both sides' lawyers have said the dispute is closed.
What does "NDA terminated and void" mean?
It means the confidentiality provisions are cancelled and no longer enforceable. LaBeouf agreed the terms are void, so twigs cannot face legal reprisal under them for speaking about the covered matters.
Why did she sue in 2026?
She argued the 2025 settlement's secrecy clauses unlawfully barred her from discussing alleged abuse — a restriction she challenged under California's law against using NDAs to silence survivors.
What happens next for her?
With the case closed, her lawyer says she can discuss her experience and support charitable causes "without fear of reprisal" — which, per reports, is where she plans to focus.
