FKA Twigs Stuck In Europe Due To Pandemic, Unable To Fight Ex Shia LaBeouf In Sexual Battery Lawsuit
FKA Twigs says she is unable to make it to America to fight her ex-Shia LaBeouf in the lawsuit she brought over alleged sexual battery
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the singer’s lawyer has informed the court they do not believe FKA will be ready for trial until at least 2022.
Her lawyer says FKA the pandemic has prevented many depositions from taking place and will continue to delay it for some time.
“Plaintiff is a citizen and resident of the United Kingdom, and is presently unable to travel to the United States due to pandemic travel restrictions,” her team writes in court documents.
FKA needs to fly to the states to be able to move her case along and sit for a deposition. FKA believes the trial will last 5-7 days but believes it should be pushed till next year due to safety concerns. A judge has yet to make a decision on the start date.
In December, FKA sued Shia over alleged emotional and physical abuse he inflicted on her during their relationship. The two met on the set of the 2018 film Honey Boy and dated for nine months.
In the lawsuit, the singer said she suffers from PTSD as a result of Shia’s action. She said he started off making her feel like a queen only to switch up completely months into the relationship FKA said she feared leaving him and thought he would hurt her.
