[US actor Shia LaBeouf has denied
"each and every allegation" of physical
and emotional abuse, made by his
former girlfriend, UK singer FKA Twigs.
The musician took legal action in December,
alleging that the Hollywood star was a danger to women.
She said LaBeouf once tried to strangle her,
slammed her into a car and became angry
when she spoke to other men.
Responding to the LA Superior Court,
his lawyers denied the allegations.
They said LaBeouf did not cause harm to the
singer - real name Tahliah Barnett - and asked
for sexual battery allegations to be
dismissed as "none of the acts alleged were
based on sex and/or the conduct was not sexual".
The 34-year-old's team also said that
his "alleged conduct was reasonably necessary
for his self-defence and/or safety".]
