Shia LaBeouf addresses FKA Twigs abuse allegations: "I hurt that ... (The A.V. Club)

On Jon Bernthal's Real Ones podcast, LaBeouf said he now wants to be a "billboard, for a principled way of living"

(LaBeouf formally denied all of Twigs’ accusations against him [in 2021](https://www.today.com/popculture/shia-labeouf-denies-assault-allegations-lawsuit-filed-ex-fka-twigs-t208742), when he filed a motion to have her case against him dismissed.) “And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people,” he added, in a manner similar to comments he [made in December 2020](https://www.newsweek.com/shia-labeouf-says-hes-ashamed-abusive-history-amid-fka-twigs-allegations-1554198#:~:text=CEO%20Dev%20Pragad-,Shia%20LaBeouf%20Says%20He's%20'Ashamed'%20of%20Abusive,History%20Amid%20FKA%20Twigs%20Allegations&text=FKA%20twigs%20has%20filed%20a,against%20her%20during%20their%20relationship.), asserting that he had been “abusive” both to himself, and others, “for years.” “And many other people before that woman. LaBeouf posits himself as he is now as a “billboard, for a principled way of living.” He also drew comparisons to Josh Brolin and Mel Gibson as actors who’ve been accused of domestic abuse in the past, and tried to chart a course through Hollywood in the aftermath. [reportedly didn’t mention Twigs’ name at all](https://variety.com/2022/film/news/shia-labeouf-abuse-allegations-apology-1235352434/) during a new episode of Jon Bernthal’s podcast Real Ones tonight (apparently, the aforementioned “time and place” to break his “silence”), instead only referring to her as “that woman.” For example: “I hurt that woman,” he tells Bernthal during the interview, although he doesn’t appear to have addressed many of the specific allegations against him.

[FKA Twigs made her allegations against LaBeouf in 2020](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/arts/music/fka-twigs-shia-labeouf-abuse.html). As with the Wilde letter, LaBeouf—who admits in the interview to infidelity and not disclosing STDs to sexual partners—cites the birth of his daughter as a transformational moment for him. The other examples that we’ve had of how to navigate something like this — which is to go after the woman, or try to win a court case, or get back into a fucking movie or like get back on at all.” (Padre Pio will debut this year in competition at the Venice International Film Festival.) “I went and loaded up a gun and sat on my table.”) [the open letter he sent to Olivia Wilde this week](https://www.avclub.com/shia-labeouf-claims-not-fired-from-dont-worry-darling-1849461353)—discounting her assertion that he was “fired” from her film Don’t Worry Darling—Shia LaBeouf mentions former romantic partner FKA Twigs only once. “There is a time and a place to deal with such things,” LaBeouf wrote to Wilde, “And I am trying to navigate a nuanced situation with respect for her and the truth, hence my silence.” “My failings with Twigs are fundamental and real, but they are not the narrative that has been presented,” he wrote, presumably referring [to a series of allegations that the British musician has made against him](https://www.avclub.com/fka-twigs-sues-shia-labeouf-for-sexual-battery-and-rel-1845863691), suing him for “sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress” during the course of their relationship.

Since he was unwilling to agree to get appropriate help, Ms. LaBeouf and FKA Twigs met on the set of his 2019 film Honey Boy and began dating after filming wrapped. "I hurt that woman," LaBeouf said on the podcast. The actor said he's in a much better place now than he was when the allegations first went public. Although the actor did not refer to his ex by name on the podcast or speak to Twigs' specific claims, he did cite "failings with Twigs" in an open letter to director Olivia Wilde [published on Variety ](https://variety.com/2022/film/news/shia-labeouf-denies-fired-olivia-wilde-dont-worry-darling-1235350529/)that same day.

He went on to say he was “a little confused” about the narrative that he was fired, and reportedly included screenshots of their text exchange on the day of the alleged sacking, suggesting that the publicity campaign for the film, and the story of his being let go “is attractive clickbait, as I am still persona-non-grata and may remain as such for the rest of my life … I write to you now with 627 days of sobriety and a moral compass that never existed before my great humbling that was the last year and a quarter of my life. Wilde also told the mag that “a lot came to light after this happened that really troubled me,” in reference to Twigs’ allegations several months later in a lawsuit against LaBeouf claiming [sexual battery, assault and emotional distress](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/fka-twigs-slams-shia-labeouf-apology-video-9527700/).
