FKA Twigs - who met the actor on the set of his autobiographical movie Honey Boy in 2018 - also alleged in the lawsuit that he would squeeze or grab her to the point of bruising, but that she didn't go to the police out of concern for his career.

She claimed Shia was "driving recklessly" with her in the car.
Shia told The New York Times in an email: "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."
The singer is also speaking out about Shia in her first-ever television interview.
"He would often just start having an argument with me in the middle of the night, start accusing me of doing all sorts of things, planning to leave him in my head," she told Gayle King in an interview that will air on CBS on February 18, 2021.
