SHIA LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs claimed the actor “covered STD symptoms with make-up” to hide the disease, as he “knowingly” infected her, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, claimed she was in an “abusive relationship” with Shia, 34, in a lawsuit filed on December 10.
In court papers obtained by The Sun, FKA Twigs, 32, claimed the actor “knowingly transmitted a serious illness to Tahliah, without ever informing her beforehand that he suffered from this dreadful malady.”
She claimed she began to experience “unusual and painful physical symptoms” around March 2019.
When she confronted Shia about her symptoms, he “admitted that he suffered from a transmitted disease which had been diagnosed years earlier.”
The singer claimed in court papers: “LaBeouf admitted that he had never told Tahliah about his condition before, even though they had been intimate for many months.
“Further, LaBeouf admitted that he had experienced a flareup of his disease’s symptoms in December 2019, but worked to hide his outward symptoms from Tahliah by applying makeup.
“Despite experiencing a flareup of his symptoms, LaBeouf continued to engage with Tahliah, further exposing her to his disease.”
FKA Twigs alleged she was “shocked and horrified” by his admission and underwent bloodwork that confirmed she had been infected with his disease.
The musician continued to claim in court papers: “Tragically, Tahliah later learned that she was not the first person that LaBeouf had transmitted his disease to.
“Tahliah discovered that at least one other woman that LaBeouf had been in a relationship with had contracted the disease from him, and that he had engaged in similar attempts to hide his condition from that person while engaging in s–ual relations.”
She alleged his “reckless disregard for the health and safety of his partners makes him a danger to women everywhere.”
A rep for Shia did not immediately respond to The Sun’s request for comment.
The New York Times was the first to report on the lawsuit.
The Sun previously reported from the court papers that FKA Twigs was “profoundly disturbed” by his alleged animal cruelty.
She then claimed Shia “made the horrific boast” that he would allegedly “drive around neighborhoods in Los Angeles and sh–t stray dogs.”
The actor allegedly did this “in order to get into character” in his latest film, The Tax Collector.
The actress claimed Shia knew she was a “great lover of dogs” and is “very close” to her own pet.
She said Shia’s alleged actions left her “profoundly disturbed and terrified.”
FKA Twigs met her ex boyfriend on the set of their 2019 film Honey Boy and dated just under a year.
She claimed Shia was “driving recklessly” with her in the car, and “threatened to crash unless she professed her love for him.”
