FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf settle lawsuit; Singer and actor agree to out-of-court settlement
and
Shia LaBeouf
have agreed to settle her lawsuit alleging LaBeouf was physically and emotionally abusive to her during their relationship.
An attorney for the 37-year-old English singer and actor FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, filed a request in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday to dismiss her case against the 39-year-old American actor with prejudice, meaning it can't be filed again.
Stars Release Statement
"Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court," the two said in a joint statement issued Tuesday by their attorneys. "While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future."
About the Lawsuit
First filed in 2020, the case had several trial dates scheduled in the years since, but those were always delayed well in advance.
The two met and became a couple in 2018 after Barnett was cast in a supporting role in "Honey Boy," an autobiographical film about LaBeouf's upbringing as a child actor.
After an early "charm offensive" from LaBeouf, the relationship became a "living nightmare," her lawsuit said.
Abuse Allegations
She said LaBeouf put her in a constant state of fear and humiliation, once slammed her into a car, tried to strangle her and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease.
She said he also isolated her from family and friends, demanded absolute fealty and was angrily jealous of everyone from waiters she'd been polite with to her ex-fiance
Robert Pattinson
.
She said that her experience was part of a pattern for LaBeouf.
"Shia LaBeouf hurts women," the suit said. "He uses them. He abuses them, both physically and mentally. He is dangerous."
'History of Hurting People'
LaBeouf said in a statement just after the lawsuit was filed that he had 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."
But he denied the accusations in the lawsuit in a 2021 filing, saying any injuries done or damages incurred by Barnett were not his doing.
LaBeouf is best known for his roles in 2007′s "Transformers" and in 2008′s "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull." He also starred in the 2019 film "The Peanut Butter Falcon" and in last year's "Megalopolis."
Known for her genre-bending musical styles, FKA Twigs worked as a backup dancer for other artists before releasing her studio debut, "LP1," in 2014. She followed it with 2019's Magdalene and "Eusexua" from earlier this year. As an actor, she appeared in 2024's "The Crow."

Rising golf star Charlie Woods: Inside the life of Tiger Woods' son, from school to net worth
Source: X The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods is following closely in his father's footsteps and making waves in junior golf. On Thursday, Charlie Woods stayed in strong contention for a spot on the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team, tying for second place at the Junior PGA Championship after firing a 5-under 66 in a rain-delayed third round at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in Indiana. Sitting at 12-under 202, Charlie is proving he's not just a famous last name—but a rising contender in his own right. But there is more to Charlie Woods than just his last name. Here is all about Charlie Woods- Family and background Charlie is the younger of two children born to Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. His sister, Sam Alexis Woods, was born in 2007. After their parents' divorce in 2010, both children have been raised through a cooperative co-parenting arrangement. From his mother's relationship with former NFL player Jordan Cameron, Charlie also has three half-siblings. His heritage reflects a multicultural blend—Swedish through his mother, and African-American, Thai, Chinese, and Dutch through his father. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Source: X Tiger has often spoken publicly about the joy and grounding that fatherhood brings him, especially following his serious car crash in 2021. 'Being a dad has helped him stay focused on his recovery,' a PEOPLE source said, noting that his children are his greatest motivation. Education Charlie attends The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, where he is part of the Class of 2027. He plays for the school's competitive golf team, which ranks among Florida's most elite. Though he hasn't yet made a college commitment, he's clearly on the radar of top programs. Bilingual in English and Swedish, Charlie also has a strong interest in equipment, often described as picky about his golf clubs, much like his father. As a younger child, Charlie focused more on soccer, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, when team sports were restricted, he gravitated toward golf, a shift that would set him on his current path. Golf career and achievements Charlie Woods began attracting national attention when he became the youngest competitor in PNC Championship history at age 11 in 2020. He and Tiger have played in the event for five consecutive years, showing impressive chemistry and consistency. In 2020, the father-son duo tied at 5th position, and Charlie made his first eagle with a 175-yard 5-wood. They came second in the years 2021 and 2024. The year 2024 was particularly special for Charlie as he made his first hole-in-one with a 7-iron on a par-3, helping force a playoff. That year's event also set a TV viewership record, with a 147% increase in first-round ratings from the previous year.

A few months later, in September, he won the Last Chance Regional with a low round of 66. In November 2023, he helped The Benjamin School win the Florida Class A State Championship and finished tied for 26th. That season, he ranked 80th overall in Florida high school golf, 9th among freshmen, and 28th in Class 1A. His biggest win came in May 2025, when he won his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational. He shot 15-under (70-65-66) and beat a field that included four of the top-five AJGA players. Charlie also qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur in both 2024 and 2025. In 2024, he missed the cut after rounds of 82 and 80. In 2025, he qualified again at Trinity Forest but missed the cut with rounds of 81 and 74. Net worth As of 2024, Charlie Woods' estimated net worth is approximately $25 million, driven by family wealth, endorsements, sponsorships, and media appearances. His annual income is around $4 million, though most of it is tied to long-term brand value and investments rather than tournament earnings.
