FKA Twigs appeared on the We Are Man Enough podcast hosted by Justin Baldoni, Liz Plank, and Jamey Heath, on Monday (October 28), amid the final week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

“I was so disappointed to learn how boring it is because they all operate the same.”

FKA Twigs shared the moment she understood she wasn’t unique to her abuser, as she revealed: “You know, I think one of the most painful things was realizing that I wasn’t special, that I wasn’t in a relationship where it was this thing that we could struggle through together, and it was me and him against the world, and it was just our energy that no one would understand because this is us.
“It’s not about me. It’s about food. I’m just supply. I could have been anyone. I could have walked into that room one day. Or another young actor, singer, or artist could have walked in the room that day.
“Could have really been anyone. It was just bad luck that I got a part in a film. That’s honestly how I feel now.
“I choose not to take it personally. It’s devastatingly boring.”

The songstress acknowledged life’s nuances, stating: “I used to thrive out of fear, but now I embrace the darker, artistic sides of myself.
“Life doesn’t have to be all sparkles and rainbows — there’s a balance.”
At some point, FKA Twigs admitted she felt “privileged” to be able to go back to her “beautiful house in East London” and her dog, highlighting the fact that many people who come out of abusive relationships struggle financially and do not share the same privilege as she does.
In 2020, FKA Twigs went public with allegations of domestic violence against her ex-partner, Shia LaBeouf.
The Crow actress alleged that the 38-year-old actor physically, emotionally, and mentally abused her many times in a relationship that lasted just under a year.
