Shia LaBeouf is seeking ‘long-term’ treatment after FKA twigs’ physical abuse claims

The actor was recently caught in headlines when his ex-girlfriend, singer FKA Twigs, accused him of physical, emotional and mental abuse in a lawsuit.

The suit was filed by the musician — born Tahliah Debrett Barnett — on Dec. 11, and details several alleged incidents, including the actor “recklessly” driving a car with Barnett inside, “threatening to crash unless she professed her love for him,” per the suit.

In a statement issue, the Transformers actor’s lawyer Shawn Holley claimed that the star is seeking help which he knows he is desperately in need of, after his ex-girlfriend FKA twigs accused him of physical abuse.

“Shia needs help and he knows that. We are actively seeking the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment that he desperately needs,” Holley told Variety.

However, the singer’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman claimed that LaBeouf had refused to get proper help after which his client went ahead with the lawsuit slapped against him for physical and emotional abuse.

“This isn’t about Shia’s career. This is about making sure the trauma and pain inflicted on my clients and others doesn’t happen again. Shia is an admitted abuser and he needs to get meaningful help that addresses his violent behavior,” he said.

Holley refuted Freedman’s claims, saying LaBeouf “immediately accepted responsibility for the many things he had done wrong and expressed his willingness to do what Twigs wanted him to do.”
