FKA Twigs sends Sia support amid Shia LaBeouf abuse allegations

FKA Twigs has sent her support to Sia after they both came forward with allegations against Shia LaBeouf.

The 32-year-old singer is suing the Transformers actor for sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress during the course of their brief relationship in 2019, claiming she was subjected to "relentless" abuse from him.

After Twigs spoke publicly about her lawsuit, fellow singer Sia took to social media to allege LaBeouf, 34, had "conned" her "into an adulterous relationship claiming to be single", and now, Twigs has offered a message of support to the Chandelier hitmaker.
Twigs - whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett - wrote on Twitter: "I'm sorry @Sia this reinforces why I had to publicly share my experience. we need to support each other <3. (sic)"

And in a separate message, she added: "love you back @Sia you're an inspiration and thank you everyone for your love and solidarity <3. (sic)"

I too have been hurt emotionally by Shia, a pathological liar, who conned me into an adulterous relationship claiming to be single. I believe he's very sick and have compassion for him AND his victims. Just know, if you love yourself- stay safe, stay away. https://t.co/2NNEj9w8b1

In Sia's original claims, the 44-year-old singer blasted LaBeouf - who appeared in the music video for her 2015 track Elastic Heart - as a "pathological liar", and alleged he lied to her about being single.

Meanwhile, after FKA Twigs' lawsuit was filed last week, LaBeouf made a public statement admitting he has been "abusive to myself and everyone around me for years".

He 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 rationalisations. 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."

However, the Hollywood star insisted that "many of these allegations are not true", but also said he owed the women "the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done".
