Shia LaBeouf ‘covered STD symptoms with makeup’ to hide it from ex FKA Twigs as he ‘knowingly’ infected her, she claims

SHIA LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs claimed the actor “covered STD symptoms with makeup” to hide the disease, as he “knowingly” infected her, The Celeb Report can exclusively reveal. 

FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, claimed she was in an “emotionally, physically and sexually abusive relationship” with Shia, 34, in a lawsuit filed on December 10. 



FKA Twigs claims she was in an ’emotionally, physically and sexually abusive relationship’ with Shia LaBeouf

In court papers obtained by The Celeb Report, 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 sexually 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 sexually 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 in sexual relations 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. 

She claimed his attorney “cruelly dismissed the sexually transmitted disease LaBeouf had infected Tahliah with as ‘not that bad.’”

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 sexual 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 Celeb Report’s request for comment.



She said Shia is a ‘danger’ to women

The New York Times was the first to report on the lawsuit. 

The Celeb Report 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 shoot stray dogs.”

The court papers claimed: “LaBeouf claimed he killed these dogs.”



FKA also claimed in court papers that Shia allegedly admitted to shooting stray dogs

The actor allegedly did this “in order to get into character” in his latest film, The Tax Collector.

FKA Twigs alleged Shia said he wanted to “know what it felt like to take a life” so he could get into the ‘mindset’ of a killer” like his role in the new crime drama.

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 “admission to such wanton animal cruelty” left her “profoundly disturbed and terrified.”



She claimed he choked her during their nearly year-long relationship

FKA Twigs met her ex boyfriend on the set of their 2019 film Honey Boy and dated just under a year. 

She accused him of “relentless abuse,” including sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress. 

In the lawsuit, FKA Twigs detailed a February 14, 2019 incident when he allegedly assaulted her.

She claimed Shia was “driving recklessly” with her in the car, and “threatened to crash unless she professed her love for him.”



She claimed he isolated her from friends and family

After she begged him to let her out of the car, he allegedly pulled over at a gas station, “threw her against the car,” and screamed at her before forcing her back in.

She claimed he “raged” at her throughout their trip to Palm Springs, where he woke her up in the middle of the night, choking her.

FKA Twigs also alleged 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 said Shia would forbid her from looking at or speaking to male waiters, which turned into her keeping her eyes down whenever men talked to her.



FKA Twigs was previously engaged to Robert Pattinson

She also claimed in the lawsuit he ruled how many times a day she had to kiss or touch him, which he would enforce with criticism.

Robert Pattinson’s former fiancee claimed Shia convinced her to move to Los Angeles in the attempt to isolate her from her family and close friends.

Shia’s ex-girlfriend, stylist Karolyn Pho, also told The New York Times that he abused her during their relationship. 

She said he drunkenly pinned her to a bed and head-butted her, causing her to bleed.



Shia’s ex-girlfriend Karolyn Pho also claimed he abused her during their relationship

Shia responded to the lawsuit in an email to The New York Times. 

He said: “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.”



Shia told The New York Times in a statement that he is ‘sorry’ for the people he harmed

In a separate email after he was presented with the claims and the lawsuit, he told The New York Times that “many of these allegations are not true,” but that he owed the women “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”

He also added that he was “a sober member of a 12-step program” and was currently in therapy.

He continued: “But I am committed to doing what I need to do to recover, and I will forever be sorry to the people that I may have harmed along the way.”
