Lawyers for FKA Twigs have filed a movement condemning Shia LaBeouf’s request for her non-public information, People reports. The information comes forward of LaBeouf’s sexual-assault and battery trial over a 2020 lawsuit the place Twigs alleged the actor “relentlessly” abused her. Court paperwork filed on Monday, June 24, on the Los Angeles Superior Court argued that LaBeouf’s attorneys are “improperly seeking Plaintiff’s private financial and medical information that has no bearing on the issues in this case.” His staff has failed to elucidate why Twigs’s “medical history, unrelated to her emotional distress or the condition transmitted to her by” the actor is important, legal professionals argued. “Furthermore, the requests are overbroad and burdensome,” the submitting learn. “As such, Defendant is not entitled to this highly private information.” Twigs’s legal professionals mentioned the “Cellophane” singer has already submitted a psychotherapy examination and 1,300 pages of extra paperwork for her upcoming trial, scheduled for October 14.
Twigs’s attorneys are blasting LaBeouf for his request of economic info from 2017 to the current along with her medical information. His staff’s “assertion that Plaintiff has somehow waived her financial privacy rights by seeking emotional distress damages is not supported by any case law,” Twigs’s legal professionals argue within the submitting, calling the request a “significant invasion of privacy.”
Her authorized staff believes that LaBeouf is constant his “pattern” of abuse. “While my client was led to believe that LaBeouf was on a path of taking responsibility and working a program, it is clear he intends his pattern of continuing to abuse the victim,” Twigs’s legal professional, Bryan Freedman, provides in a brand new June 27 assertion. “Any suggestion that FKA Twigs’s emotional distress should be discounted because of any career success is preposterous and discounts the idea that victims should have hope for the future. Logically, without the trauma that she has suffered I can only imagine the level of success she would have achieved by now.”
