How FKA Twigs Came Back From the Brink
Music’s perennial provocateur opens up about her settlement with Shia LaBeouf — “I wouldn’t say I feel safe” — and reveals how a pivot from that Coachella debacle could lead to Grammy glory.
It wasn’t all that long ago — six months, to be exact — when things were looking pretty bleak for FKA Twigs.

FKA twigs doesn't 'feel safe' after Shia LaBeouf settlement
FKA twigs has claimed she still doesn't "feel safe" after settling her lawsuit with Shia LaBeouf.

Asked if she feels a sense of safety now, she told The Hollywood Reporter: "No, I wouldn’t say I feel safe.
