NEW YORK — British musician FKA twigs has settled the sexual battery lawsuit she brought against ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf in 2020 and is seeking to dismiss all her claims against the controversial actor.

Lawyers for the 37-year-old Grammy nominee, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, and the “Transformers” star, 39, released a joint statement, after Variety reports that Barnett requested her claims be dismissed with prejudice, preventing her from refiling.

“Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court. While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future,” Barnett’s attorney Bryan Freedman and LaBeouf’s lawyer Shawn Holley said in a statement shared with the Daily News.

The “cellophane” singer, who met LaBeouf while making 2019’s “Honey Boy,” in her December 2020 filing accused the Disney Channel alum of physical and emotional abuse, including choking as well as knowingly giving her and “other unsuspecting women” a sexually transmitted disease.

LaBeouf “hurts women. He uses them. He abuses them both physically and mentally. He is dangerous,” said Barnett, who also accused him of “love bombing” at the start of their romance.

The lawsuit also laid out LaBeouf’s alleged abuse against ex-girlfriend, stylist Karolyn Pho.

“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt,” LaBeouf wrote in an email to The New York Times in 2020. “There is nothing else I can really say.”

In response to the filing, he also said that “many of these allegations are not true,” though he owed Barnett and Pho “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”

The settlement comes four years after Barnett and LaBeouf were first reported to be in “productive settlement negotiations” in June 2021.

Barnett told GQ in June 2022 that she filed because she “just didn’t want anyone else to get hurt.” A jury trial date had been set to take place this September after it was delayed last October.
