The singer, who was engaged to the actor before the split in 2017, said she was exposed to hurtful and ignorant comments from some of his fans during a three-year relationship.
Talk to Louis Theroux about the Based Twigs said in the podcast, “People just called me the most hurtful and ignorant and horrible names on the planet.”

LaBeouf responded at the time to Twigs’ allegations and those of another ex-girlfriend Karolyn Pho, saying that “many of these allegations are not true”, but said he “owed the women the opportunity to make their statements public and to accept responsibility for the things I have done ”.
On the podcast, Twigs said she wants to express her experiences ‘because it’s something in society that’s a very big problem and it’s very common, but for some reason we do not talk about it’.
