Singer FKA Twigs has spoken about the 'deeply racist' abuse she faced when she was dating actor Robert Pattinson. Recently, the singer had also filed a lawsuit against actor Shia LaBeouf, accusing him of mental and physical abuse.
In an appearance on Louis Theroux's Grounded podcast, she said that some of Pattinson's fans couldn't accept the fact that he was dating a person of colour. The couple were in a relationship for three years, and were even engaged before ending their relationship in 2017.
“People just called me the most hurtful and ignorant and horrible names on the planet,” she said. “He was their white Prince Charming and they considered he should be with someone white and blonde. It’s essentially bullying and it does affect you psychologically.”
She continued, "I’m not trying to deny my history, I just think it’s important that I’m not defined by it, because he doesn’t have to be defined by it."
In December, she accused LaBeouf of harassment, and called him 'dangerous'. In a detailed statement via Variety, FKA Twigs said, “Shia LaBeouf hurts women. —Hindustantimes
