FKA Twigs will speak out in her first television interview on February 18, 2021.
The singer filed a lawsuit against former boyfriend Shia LaBeouf in December, accusing him of sexual battery, assault, and inflicting emotional distress. He denies the allegations.
What did FKA Twigs say about LaBeouf’s behavior?
FKA Twigs details a series of disturbing accusations in her interview with Gayle King.
“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 King.
“He’d wake me up, tell me I was disgusting, that I was vile.”
She added: “But this is the thing – but I would really doubt myself.
“You know, especially when I’d, like, wake up and he’d be like, ‘You were lying there with your eyes open, planning to leave me.’ And I’d be like, ‘I literally was asleep.'”
She told King that LaBeouf would “only want me to sleep naked because he said if I didn’t then I was keeping myself from him.”
The singer told Elle in an interview published on February 17 that “it’s a miracle I came out alive.”
She said that “luck” was the reason why she survived their relationship.
“I honestly wish I could say that I found some strength and I saw this light,” she told Elle.
The singer said she is speaking out to help other women in abusive relationships.
“It’s very subtle,” she told King.
“That’s the thing about, you know, domestic abuse, domestic violence, that it’s a real gradual step-by-step process to get somebody to a place where they lose themselves so much that they accept or feel like they deserve to be treated in that way.”
LaBeouf’s lawyers said the actor “denies, generally and specifically, each and every allegation” in her lawsuit, according to CBS.
How can I watch the interview?
Gayle King’s interview with FKA Twigs will air on CBS This Morning on February 18.
The show airs from 7 am to 9 am.
