Shia LaBeouf ‘covered STD symptoms with make-up’, FKA Twigs claims

Shia LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend has claimed in a lawsuit that the actor “covered STD symptoms with make-up” to hide his disease.

Shia LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs claimed the actor “covered STD symptoms with make-up” to hide the disease, and that he “knowingly” infected her.

The Sun can exclusively reveal FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, claimed she was in an “emotionally, physically and sexually abusive relationship” with Shia, 34, in a lawsuit filed on December 10.

In court papers obtained by The Sun, FKA Twigs, 32, claimed the actor “knowingly transmitted a serious illness to Tahliah, without ever informing her beforehand that he suffered from this dreadful malady”.

She claimed she began to experience “unusual and painful physical symptoms” around March 2019.

When she confronted LaBeouf about her symptoms, he “admitted that he suffered from a sexually transmitted disease which had been diagnosed years earlier”.

The singer claimed in court papers: “LaBeouf admitted that he had never told Tahliah about his condition before, even though they had been sexually intimate for many months.

“Further, LaBeouf admitted that he had experienced a flare-up of his disease’s symptoms in December 2019, but worked to hide his outward symptoms from Tahliah by applying make-up.

“Despite experiencing a flare-up of his symptoms, LaBeouf continued to engage in sexual relations with Tahliah, further exposing her to his disease.”

FKA Twigs alleged she was “shocked and horrified” by his admission and underwent blood work that confirmed she had been infected with his disease.

She claimed his lawyer “cruelly dismissed the sexually transmitted disease LaBeouf had infected Tahliah with as ‘not that bad.’”

The musician continued to claim in court papers: “Tragically, Tahliah later learned that she was not the first person that LaBeouf had transmitted his disease to.

“Tahliah discovered that at least one other woman that LaBeouf had been in a relationship with had contracted the disease from him, and that he had engaged in similar attempts to hide his condition from that person while engaging in sexual relations.”

She alleged his “reckless disregard for the health and safety of his partners makes him a danger to women everywhere”.

A rep for LaBeouf did not immediately respond to The Sun’s request for comment.
