FKA Twigs has insisted her “window of tolerance is much smaller” after her breakup from Shia LaBeouf.
The 36-year-old singer — who started dating her Honey Boy co-star after meeting on the set of the 2019 film — filed a lawsuit in December 2020 alleging “relentless” abuse, which the actor has denied, with the former partners set to go to trial in August this year after proceedings were delayed in September 2023.
Speaking about the aftermath of their relationship in the April issue of British Vogue cover, she alleged: “I think naively I thought it would be like any other break-up, that I’d be sad for six months to a year, and then one day I’d wake up and everything would be fine.
“But the fact is being abused changes the whole of your nervous system.
”Because my window of tolerance is now much smaller than it used to be, my body manifests stress in quite extreme ways — it really shows me when it’s upset.”
