FKA Branches on Her Relationship with Shia LaBeouf

“It’s something in society that’s a very big problem, and it’s very common,” she told Theroux as she went to discuss her reason for the public, “but for some reason we do not talk about it. . “

While doing the “grooming, pushing” [my] emotional and mental boundaries “that allegedly occurred during their relationship, Twigs said LaBeouf does not allow her to look other men in the eye while talking to them.

“Being friendly with a waiter, or being polite to someone, can be seen as flirting or wanting a relationship with someone else if I literally just order pasta. … I said I know “he was like and if I loved him, I would not look men in the eye. It was my reality for a good four months.”

LaBeouf also allegedly demanded a “quota” of cases of physical contact in their relationship: ‘His previous partner apparently met this number very well, so I was inadequate compared to a previous partner.

People often ask the victim or survivor, ‘Why did you not leave? “instead of asking the abuser, ‘Why are you holding someone hostage by abusive behavior?’ It’s a fair question for you to ask me, but it puts a lot on me. It puts a lot on victims and survivors. ”

Twigs also opened up about the future implications she may have openly about the alleged abusive relationship: ‘All I can do is just think of myself when I’m 50 [and] I have children, I think about what I wanted to stand for, ‘she explained.

“It’s something that was completely unexpected. I never thought such a thing would happen to me … When I’m older, when I have a daughter, I want to be able to say, ‘This thing happened to me. And I “It’s a great thing to heal in public and to do it in front of everyone, but I can do it. I’m a big girl and I can do it.”
