FKA twigs Sues Shia LaBeouf to Void Settlement NDA Under California’s STAND Act

The case seeks a ruling on whether California’s survivor-protection law bars confidentiality terms that restrict speaking about alleged abuse.

Overview

  • FKA twigs filed a Los Angeles Superior Court complaint Wednesday seeking a declaration that parts of the pair’s 2025 settlement NDA are illegal under California’s Stand Together Against Non-Disclosure Act.
  • LaBeouf’s former partner asks the judge to block any enforcement of the disputed clauses and she is not seeking monetary damages.
  • After she said in an October 2025 interview that she did not feel safe, LaBeouf pursued a December arbitration over an alleged NDA breach that he dropped in February.
  • LaBeouf’s lawyers argue the STAND Act does not apply because her 2020 suit alleged sexual battery rather than sexual assault, a reading her filing calls legally wrong.
  • The complaint says the NDA tried to bar her from talking about her own experience or even supporting related charities, framing the case as a test of how far survivor gag orders can go in California.
