FKA twigs has released new details from their relationship with Shia LaBeouf. Accordingly, there was no eye contact and a kiss quota.

The singer FKA twigs (33, "LP1") was in a relationship with the American actor Shia LaBeouf (34, "Transformers") for nine months. After an "intense honeymoon phase at the beginning", as she now explained in the BBC podcast "Grounded" by journalist Louis Theroux (50), the relationship has developed into a nightmare for her. The Briton publicly admitted that she had lost sight of herself out of sheer "fear and shame".

In December 2020, the 33-year-old had made public that LaBeouf had abused both mentally and physically. She sued her ex-partner for sexual assault, assault, and causing emotional distress. However, FKA twigs does not seem to be able to finish so easily with what has been experienced. She suffered too much from the actor's power games.

Eye contact with other men was taboo

LaBeouf had become more and more "jealous and controlling" in the course of the relationship, which lasted from summer 2018 to May 2019, "said the artist. According to her statements, the actor even forbade her to look other men in the eyes one day When they left the house together, they mostly only looked to the ground. LaBeouf is said to have isolated them more and more from their family and friends. And she let it happen. "That was my reality for a good four months towards the end of the relationship ", explained FKA twigs.

The 33-year-old "lived a very regulated and restricted life at the actor's side, which I felt was the least likely to get me into trouble". For a long time she did not succeed in breaking away from LaBeouf. "I really felt like it was impossible to leave. I felt so controlled. It was completely overwhelming."

FKA twigs suffered from panic attacks

How did FKA twigs finally take off? You called a telephone hotline and looked for help. Nevertheless, a post-traumatic stress disorder, triggered by the experience with LaBeouf, remained. During the relationship, he asked the Briton to show a daily rate of affection. "He said that his previous partner met that number very well and I was insufficient. It was 20 touches, 20 kisses a day, reinforcements of my devotion for him …"

The musician went on to say that LaBeouf often woke her up in the middle of the night "to accuse me of all kinds of things". The result – even after the breakup: "For a long time, anything that woke me up at night, even if it was just my dog, a noise outside, or if I just had to go to the bathroom, could trigger a really intense panic attack . "

Shia LaBeouf is in therapy

LaBeouf doesn't deny his ex-girlfriend's allegations. In an email to the New York Times in December 2020, he stated that he had "no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression." "I have abused myself and everyone around me for years. I have a past in which I have hurt the people who are closest to me." The actor is ashamed and apologizes to all "those who have hurt". He's in therapy.
