Unfortunately, the fallout from Shia LaBeouf’s alleged abuse has come between two women he’s dated, Vidak For Congress has learned — and the bad blood sparked a tense showdown between them at the Bel Air hotel.
Chic British singer FKA twigs is suing the ‘Transformers’ actor for allegedly sexually assaulting, assaulting and inflicting emotional distress during their relationship, which lasted from the summer of 2018 to the spring of 2019. (LaBeouf has admitted that he insults those around him), but denied her specific claims).
When she first made the shocking allegations in an interview with Elle magazine in September 2021, actress Margaret Qualley — who also briefly dated LaBeouf in early 2021 — posted the cover to social media with the caption, “Thank you.”
She later told Harper’s Bazaar that she posted the cover because, “It was important for me to know that I believe her — and it’s that simple.”
We’re told that Twigs and Qualley exchanged messages after the piece came out, and Twigs hoped Qualley would agree to testify in the case, which goes to trial in April 2023.
But it seems Twigs was disappointed that Qualley, despite her public outcry, seemed unwilling to throw in the suit as actively as the singer had hoped.
We’re told that the two women — who didn’t know each other before the Elle piece was published — happened to run into each other at the luxury Los Angeles hotel.
Sources say it’s unclear who approached whom, but the pair got into an intense verbal dispute over the matter in full view of the other hotel guests, and Qualley’s fiancée, Bleachers singer Jack Antonoff, came to defend her and join the feud. .
Insiders say Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, and Qualley were both “shocked” by the incident.
Qualley representatives declined to comment. Representatives from Antonoff and Twigs did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
