FKA, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, was seen yesterday strolling through the streets of London, looking natural.

The Grammy nominee sipped a hot beverage dressed in an all-gray ensemble.

FKA wore a dark gray long-sleeved shirt under a short-sleeved top, a gray skirt, and a matching scarf.

She paired her outfit with thick black sunglasses, calf-high boots and an Intimissimi shopping bag slung over her arm.

Her exit comes just before she is scheduled to testify against her ex-boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf, in a $10 million assault trial.

The two are scheduled to appear before a judge on October 14 this year.

The court date suffered several delays before the October date was officially set.

MILLION DOLLAR JUDGMENT

In December 2020, FKA filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend.

Legal documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court cited that FKA accused Shia of sexual assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.

The documents also detailed that Shia allegedly “knowingly transmitted to him a sexually transmitted disease.”

Shia denied these allegations in his own lawsuit.

In court documents obtained exclusively by The US Sun, FKA said he consented to a series of requests from Shia in the Disney star’s lawsuit, calling them a “fishing expedition.”

“The defendant seeks the Plaintiff’s entire medical history, going well beyond the injuries that are actually in question,” the documents say.

“Plaintiff has already agreed to provide documents relating to any damages or injuries she alleges occurred because of Defendant, so it is unclear how the remainder of the documents are relevant and not privileged.”

The documents also reveal that Shia’s team requested his financial statements dating back to 2017.

“[Shia] states that it seeks information based on a far-fetched theory that [FKA’s] Income level is correlated to your emotional distress. Specifically, [Shia] argues that if [FKA] is working and earning income, so she does not suffer from emotional distress. This is simply not true.”

Furthermore, it was found that she had to undergo a psychotherapy examination.

Due to FKA’s request, the singer is seeking $10 million in damages, with a significant portion of the funds being donated to domestic violence charities.

FKA and Shia began dating in September 2018 after the two met on the set of their film Honey Boy.

The two dated for nine months before calling it quits.
