The 32-year-old singer-dancer-actress, born Tahliah Barnett, worked with LaBeouf on the 2019 movie “Honey Boy,”and they started dating after the film wrapped production. She quickly moved in with him, and according to the lawsuit wound up having to “escape” from LaBeouf’s home some months later after nearly nonstop alleged abuse. “For too long, LaBeouf has sought to excuse his reprehensible actions as the eccentricities of a free-thinking ‘artist,’” the lawsuit states. Though police were called in February to an altercation between LaBeouf and another man in a Sherman Oaks bar, no arrests were made. Police said LaBeouf pulled the scarf of a man outside the museum in Queens and scratched the man’s face.
