Lawyers for FKA Twigs have filed a motion condemning Shia LaBeouf’s request for her private records.
"LaBeouf’s attorneys are improperly seeking Plaintiff’s private financial and medical information that has no bearing on the issues in this case. His team has failed to explain why Twigs’s medical history, unrelated to her emotional distress or the condition transmitted to her by the actor is necessary. Furthermore, the requests are overbroad and burdensome. As such, Defendant is not entitled to this highly private information.”
Twigs has already submitted a psychotherapy exam and 1,300 pages of additional documents for her upcoming trial, scheduled for October 14.
Twigs’s attorneys are blasting LaBeouf for his request of financial information from 2017 to the present in addition to her medical records. Twigs’s lawyers argue in the filing, calling the request a “significant invasion of privacy.”
Her legal team believes that LaBeouf is continuing 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. 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.”
