FKA Twigs has revealed she still doesn't feel 'safe', months after settling her domestic abuse lawsuit with ex-partner Shia LaBeouf.

The singer, 37, officially ended the lawsuit in July, nearly four years after filing a high-profile action accusing the actor of abuse.

According to court documents, the British musician (born Tahliah Debrett Barnett) requested to dismiss all claims against LaBeouf, 39, with prejudice, meaning she cannot bring the case back to court in the future.

The lawsuit, filed in 2020, sought $10 million in damages for alleged sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress during the couple's relationship.

Speaking out following the settlement, FKA Twigs admitted she still doesn't feel safe.

She explained: 'I wouldn't say I feel safe. I feel really passionate about being involved with organizations such as Sistah Space and No More, to help survivors in any way that I can.'

She continued to The Hollywood Reporter: 'I think it's less about me at this point and more about looking forward. Just, you know, moving on with my life.'

The pair began dating after meeting on the set of LaBeouf's 2019 semi-autobiographical film Honey Boy, in which Twigs was cast.

Her comments come as she posed up a storm for the publication's special music edition, where she stunned in a nude-coloured corset.

Another snap showed the musician showing off her toned physique as she stretched while wearing a Dolce & Gabbana black bra, Commando underwear and Falke tights.

In the same interview, Twigs said she feels 'emotional' when she hears fans singing back her music during concerts.

She said: 'I wrote them at a time when I felt very scared — scared for myself, scared for my future as an artist, scared for my future as a human.

'I worry about community. Whether it's women or the trans or queer communities or people of colour, I have these huge thoughts that keep me awake at night.' 

At the time of Twigs and LaBeouf's settlement, attorneys for both parties confirmed the matter had been resolved privately.

In a statement, they said: '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.'

Twigs' original complaint included several disturbing allegations, including claims that LaBeouf knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease and once threatened to crash a car with her inside. 

She also alleged he physically assaulted her at a gas station following that incident.

LaBeouf had denied many of the allegations against him. 

Meanwhile, Twigs put on a leggy display in a little black dress as she cosied up to her boyfriend Jordan Hemingway ahead of Tom Ford's Paris Fashion Week runway show on Wednesday.

She looked nothing short of sensational in the chic ensemble, which featured a diamond-encrusted scoop neckline and a flowing train.

Twigs added inches to her frame with a pair of pointed black stiletto heels as she posed up a storm for the cameras alongside her filmmaker boyfriend, 33, who she has been dating since Spring 2023.
