\n\tA former California lawmaker is backing FKA twigs in her lawsuit against Shia LaBeouf, who\u2019s trying to bar her from broadly discussing issues of sexual violence and sharing any information about acts relating to her own experiences of alleged sexual abuse by the actor.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, months after she settled her lawsuit against LaBeouf, the singer-songwriter got an arbitration demand from the actor\u2019s legal team. He claimed breach of contract for what he considered a violation of the deal\u2019s nondisclosure agreement over an interview in which she said, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t feel safe\u201d with that chapter of her life behind her.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe arbitration was later dismissed, but FKA twigs (whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett) brought a lawsuit against LaBeouf seeking a court order that would block him from enforcing portions of the NDA. She argued that it violates the STAND Act, which prohibits NDAs in sexual assault, discrimination and sexual harassment cases that don\u2019t rise to felony prosecutions.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Barnett received the arbitration demand in December, Mathew Rosengart, her lawyer, argued that nondisclosure provisions in the settlement violate the statute. LaBeouf\u2019s legal team responded that it doesn\u2019t apply because Barnett only brought a claim for sexual battery and not sexual assault in her 2020 lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, former State Sen. Connie Leyva, who authored the legislation, is clarifying the record to ensure that the distinction isn\u2019t used to enforce illegal NDAs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cContrary to Mr. LaBeouf\u2019s apparent position, the California Legislature did not intend and did not carve out an exception designed to protect sexual batterers (as opposed to sexual assaulters) or conclude that sexual batterers (but not sexual assaulters) should be free to silence their victims with secret NDAs,\u201d she wrote in a court declaration filed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe distinction LaBeouf cites, she added, defies common sense.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement, Rosengart stressed that the NDA is void. He added, \u201cWe filed the lawsuit in response to Mr. LaBeouf\u2019s attempt to bully and intimidate FKA twigs through a frivolous arbitration he filed against her last December, seeking to extract money from her. Astonishingly, he claimed he is immune from California\u2019s STAND Act because, in his view, it applies only to sexual assaulters but not sexual batterers. But now we have gone to the source: the author of the legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn court filings, LaBeouf has argued that FKA twigs improperly filed her lawsuit in court rather than arbitration to \u201cdisparage and harm\u201d him. He pleaded guilty in June to charges relating to an altercation during an extended Mardi Gras bar crawl that erupted into violence.<\/p>\n
