“Behind the Curtain: FKA Twigs Unveils the Dark Truth of Her ‘Abusive’ Romance with Shia LaBeouf”
Attorneys for FKA Twigs claimed in court papers that the Transformers star was an “abuser” who “abuses his basic discovery obligations in this litigation,” People reported on October 22.
The lawyers also claimed that LaBeouf “has been egregiously evasive and nonresponsive,” producing “only nine pages” of evidence.
FKA Twigs’ lawyers’ filings stated: “It appears that LaBeouf has something to hide, as LaBeouf has suspiciously claimed he no longer has any other responsive documents in his possession or control, as he lost or misplaced his electronic devices, or destroyed relevant information prior to the initiation of this action.”
Meanwhile, FKA Twigs has, according to her attorneys, “produced voluminous responsive documents and substantive written responses.”
FKA Twigs accused LaBeouf earlier this month of delaying the deposition process ahead of his sexual and physical abuse trial
LaBeouf was also accused of waiting until “the eleventh hour” and “inexplicably refuses to be deposed first, despite entering into multiple agreements between counsel that both parties would be deposed within the same week and that LaBeouf’s deposition would take place first.”
FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, reportedly said that as “a resident of the United Kingdom, scheduling an in-person deposition in California takes significant advance planning and is highly disruptive.”
Her attorney wrote in the filings: “LaBeouf’s counsel was aware of this fact.
“Plaintiff’s counsel informed LaBeouf’s counsel that it would take additional scheduling to have the in-person depositions occur within the same week due to Plaintiff’s residing overseas, but that Plaintiff would agree, in exchange for an agreement that LaBeouf be deposed first.
