Her remark follows FKA Twigs filing a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend of just under a year, Shia LaBeouf, in December.
In the court papers obtained by The Sun, the singer-songwriter and actress accused the Transformers star of being abusive to his ex “physically, emotionally, and mentally many times in a relationship…”
According to the lawsuit, Shia also allegedly “killed dogs” in order to get in the “mindset of a killer” for his new movie role.
Margaret, 26, and Shia were seen kissing at LAX airport soon after Twigs filed her lawsuit.
That fall the two appeared naked for Margaret’s sister Rainey‘s music video for Love Me Like You Hate Me.
But following the lawsuit they reportedly split on January 2nd.

The lawsuit filed by Tahliah Debrett Barnett, who goes by FKA Twigs, 32, claimed she is “profoundly disturbed” by his alleged animal cruelty.
According to the court papers, FKA alleged her then-boyfriend attempted to scare her by “warning her” he has “pulled out one of his firearms on set and threatened others with it.”
The allegations said Shia, 34, previously “bragged” to the singer about enjoying “getting their attention” with his gun.
She then claimed Shia “made the horrific boast” that he would allegedly “drive around neighborhoods in Los Angeles and shoot stray dogs.”
“LaBeouf claimed he killed these dogs,” the court papers stated.
According to the documents, the actor claimed he did this “in order to get into character” for his upcoming film, The Tax Collector.

Shia added he was “a sober member of a 12-step program” as well as in therapy[/caption]
The Sun also exclusively revealed FKA Twigs claimed Shia lied to her about having an STD and “covered STD symptoms with make-up”, as he “knowingly” infected her.
In court papers obtained by The Sun, FKA Twigs claimed the actor “knowingly transmitted a serious illness to Tahliah, without ever informing her beforehand that he suffered from this dreadful malady.”
She said she began to experience “unusual and painful physical symptoms” around March 2019.
When she asked Shia about her symptoms, he “admitted that he suffered from a sexually transmitted disease which had been diagnosed years earlier.”
The singer claimed in court papers: “LaBeouf admitted that he had never told Tahliah about his condition before, even though they had been sexually intimate for many months.”
FKA Twigs and Shia met of their 2019 film, Honey Boy, and were together from mid-2018 until May 2019.

Shia responded to the lawsuit in an email to The New York Times saying: “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.”
In a subsequent email, he told the paper “many of these allegations are not true,” but that he owed the women “the opportunity to air their statements publicly and accept accountability for those things I have done.”
Shia also added he was “a sober member of a 12-step program” as well as in therapy. He continued: “But I am committed to doing what I need to do to recover, and I will forever be sorry to the people that I may have harmed along the way.”
