FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf are giving us the kind of courtroom drama that would make even Judge Judy roll her eyes. It’s been four years since Twigs accused Shia of sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress, and now—just when things were simmering down—the plot has thickened. We’re talking dodged Zoom calls, mysteriously missing gadgets, and schedules busier than a Starbucks on Monday morning.
Twigs: “Where’s Shia?”
On October 18, FKA Twigs filed a court statement calling out her ex for ghosting on legal obligations. Apparently, Shia went poof right before his October 11 deposition like a magician who got tired halfway through the show. And the documents he managed to turn over? A whopping nine pages. That’s fewer pages than a Cheesecake Factory menu.
According to Twigs, it’s starting to smell fishy—like “oops, my phone fell into the Bermuda Triangle” fishy. Shia claims he lost his electronic devices or that they were “misplaced.” Look, we’ve all lost a charger or two, but the way this guy’s misplacing stuff sounds like he’s auditioning for an Apple commercial titled Where Did It All Go?
Meanwhile, Twigs has reportedly been doing the legal equivalent of writing War and Peace, submitting mountains of documents and responses. Honestly, if this were a homework assignment, Shia would be the kid who didn’t even remember to write his name on the test.
And Then… The Great Deposition Dodge
Things got even spicier when it turned out Shia bailed on a pre-agreed deposition plan. Per Twigs, the two had agreed to take turns giving depositions, with Shia going first. But when the big day arrived, Shia apparently pulled a “Nah, never mind,” leaving Twigs waiting like someone whose Uber just canceled after five minutes of “arriving soon.”
Her team was not amused. “This is peak gamesmanship,” they declared, which is lawyer-speak for “he’s being shady.” According to Twigs, she was hopping on flights from London to LA like she’s on a world tour—only to find out that Shia had other plans, like, you know… not showing up.
Shia’s Lawyers Fire Back
But wait—Shia’s legal squad came in swinging too! They claim Twigs has been dodging her deposition, arguing she’s “been too busy” to show up for two years. Busy doing what, you ask? Your guess is as good as mine, but probably something fabulous and important.
And as for that “he goes first” agreement? Shia’s lawyers are acting like it’s some mythical promise—right up there with unicorns and free Wi-Fi on airplanes. They argue that making Shia go first is just another move in Twigs’ $10 million legal chess match, calling it “gamesmanship” on her end.
The Final Countdown
This all sets the stage for a high-stakes courtroom showdown on October 25, when the judge will hopefully sort out this circus and set a trial date. At this rate, the trial might need a red carpet because this drama has more twists than an HBO finale.
Will Shia finally hand over those “misplaced” devices? Will Twigs’ lawyers finally get the deposition they’ve been chasing like it’s the last bus of the night? Stay tuned, because things are only heating up from here.
And if the legal arguments don’t settle things, maybe they can just arm-wrestle for the win.
