FKA Twigs Slams Shia LaBeouf's Requests for Her 'Highly Private Information' Ahead of Trial

Attorneys for FKA Twigs are decrying Shia LaBeouf's requests for her complete medical history as the singer's lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend approaches its October trial date.

In court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, June 24 and obtained by PEOPLE, attorneys for the British singer-songwriter, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, 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."

Twigs' attorneys stated in the court documents that the 36-year-old singer has submitted to a psychotherapy exam and produced more than 1,300 pages of documents herself for her upcoming trial with LaBeouf, 38, whom she alleged sexually and physically assaulted and battered her in her suit, filed December 2020.

In addition, her lawyers also said LaBeouf's team "seeks the entirety of Plaintiff’s medical history, going well beyond the injuries that are actually at issue" in the case without explaining why her "medical history, unrelated to her emotional distress or the condition transmitted to her by" LaBeouf, is needed.

"Furthermore, the requests are overbroad and burdensome," Twigs' lawyers wrote in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. "As such, Defendant is not entitled to this highly private information."

Twigs and LaBeouf dated between 2018 and 2019 after meeting on the set of their 2019 movie Honey Boy, while LaBeouf was separated from his wife Mia Goth. The singer decided to leave LaBeouf in 2019 and later described her relationship with the actor as "the worst thing I've ever been through in the whole of my life" in an interview with The New York Times, published at the same time she filed her lawsuit. In that article, she also alleged LaBeouf knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease.

"Any suggestion that FKA Twigs’ emotional distress should be discounted because of any career success is preposterous and discounts the idea that victims should have hope for the future," Bryan Freedman, an attorney for the singer-songwriter, told PEOPLE in a statement. "Logically, without the trauma that she has suffered I can only imagine the level of success she would have achieved by now.”

At the time Twigs filed her lawsuit in 2020, LaBeouf told the Times in multiple emails that he had "no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations." "I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years," he wrote to the outlet at the time. "I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say."

In a different email, LaBeouf stated at that time "many" of the allegations were not true but explained he owed Twigs and other women whom the Times interviewed "the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done."

The singer's lawyers also wrote in newly filed court documents that LaBeouf's team is making "a significant invasion into Plaintiff’s privacy in asking for all of her financial information from 2017 through the present," arguing that his attorneys' "assertion that Plaintiff has somehow waived her financial privacy rights by seeking emotional distress damages is not supported by any case law."

Twigs' lawsuit against LaBeouf is scheduled to go to trial on Oct. 14.
