In a clip from the Feb. 18 conversation, twigs described the type of behavior she says LaBeouf regularly exhibited, verbally abusing her and calling the singer hurtful names.

“He often would just start having an argument with me in the middle of the night and start accusing me of doing all sorts of things [like] planning to leave him in my head,” twigs told King. “He’d wake me up to tell me I was disgusting, that I was vile.”

Over time, the continual harassment began to affect twigs emotionally and she would have misgivings about what LaBeouf said was reality.

“Nothing was ever true,” she explained. “But I would really doubt myself, you know, especially when I’d wake up, and he’d be like, ‘You were lying there with your eyes open planning to leave me,’ and I’d be like, ‘I was literally asleep.’  And he would only want me to sleep naked, because he said if I didn’t, then I was keeping myself from him.”

“It’s a tactic that a lot of abusers use,” she said. “It’s this constant availability and everything centered around them. And I think, you know, that’s why I wanted to come out and talk about this. Because the signs really are there from the beginning.”

Singer and songwriter FKA twigs announced a joint GoFundMe venture to benefit sex workers during the coronavirus pandemic on social media on Tuesday.

The Cheltenham, U.K. native shared a post on Instagram discussing her experience as a hostess at a gentlemen’s club, how sex workers have influenced her work and why her supporters should join her in bringing awareness to the plight of those who do sex work, according to British music outlet New Musical Express.

“I was 19 when I learnt my first pole move, I learnt a back hook spin from a stripper when I was working as a hostess in a gentleman’s club. for those of you who don’t know, hostessing is when one person pays another person for their time, anything from a conversation over dinner to sex work, and the club gets a cut of the fee,” she wrote. “My lived experience as a very young woman in these environments has not only informed the strong and formidable woman that i am today, but also a lot of my work as a music and visual artist – sometimes even subconsciously.”

She went on to praise sex workers, particularly in light of the many challenges they are facing.

“I feel like now is the time for me to step forward, pay respect, and shine a light on the challenges facing sex workers, especially during these uncertain times,” she said. “Sex workers I know and have met have discipline, craft, talent and work ethic – not only do they deserve better long-term, but their income has been wiped out by the lockdown and many are invisible to the financial aid available to others.”
