FKA twigs is suing her ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf – claiming he abused her and gave her an STD, court documents show.
In the lawsuit, the Brit singer, 32, claimed Shia, who she dated for nearly a year from 2018, “knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease”.
The lawsuit filed to Los Angeles Superior Court also accuses the US actor, 34, of “relentless abuse,” including sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress.
He has not responded to the allegations.
In one incident LaBeouf was allegedly driving recklessly towards Los Angeles in February 2019 when they were returning from a trip to the desert, according to court documents reported by the New York Times.
It is claimed he removed his seat belt and threatened to crash the car unless she told him she loved him.

LaBeouf is alleged to have then stopped at a petrol station after Twigs, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, begged him to stop and let her out.
It is claimed in the lawsuit when she removed her bags from the trunk he threw her against the car, screamed in her face, and then forced her to get back in the vehicle.
And Ms Barnett claims before the petrol station incident she woke in the middle of the night to find the Transformers actor choking her.

It is claimed in the lawsuit he initially showed “over-the-top displays of affection” at the start of the relationship.
But it’s alleged he later started insisting on rules such as how many times she had to show affection to him in a day.
The New York Times reported he said in an email to them: “I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior 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.”
