Shia LaBeouf and Margaret Qualley would have given up.
The split occurs when LaBeouf, 34, faces the consequences of a lawsuit filed against him by his ex, FKA Twigs, in which she accuses the “Transformers” star of allegedly abusing her during their relationship.
LaBeouf and Qualley, 26, met while filming a music video “not safe for work” or NSFW for Rainsford’s song “Love Me Like You Hate Me”, according to People magazine.
However, the couple no longer exists, two sources told the celebrity gossip magazine.

The source said the actress is focusing on her career and is “ready to go back to work”. She will soon be traveling to Canada to work on a new film, according to People.
A second source told People that Qualley is aware of the “reaction” she faces for dating LaBeouf amid the accusations.
Spokesmen for the stars did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.

FKA Twigs, born Tahliah Debrett Barnett, filed a lawsuit against LaBeouf last year in which she accused him of abusing her physically, mentally and emotionally during her previous relationship.
At the heart of the lawsuit is a 2019 incident involving Barnett as a passenger in a car driven “recklessly” by LaBeouf. According to the report, the singer and songwriter accused LaBeouf of “removing his seat belt and threatening to fall, unless she professed her love for him”.

Barnett went on to accuse LaBeouf of acting angry at her during the trip, and at one point he woke her up “in the middle of the night, suffocating her,” the New York Times reported in December.

Barnett said the “Transformers” actor also “assaulted” her at a gas station after she “begged to get out of the car”.
Barnett accused LaBeouf of stopping, pulling his bags out of the vehicle’s trunk and “throwing it against the car while shouting in his face,” the suit alleges, according to the Times. She was then “forced” to return to the car.
Included in the lawsuit are additional charges brought by another LaBeouf ex-girlfriend, Karolyn Pho.

LaBeouf responded to the claims made by Barnett and Pho in an email response to the Times. He said that “many of the charges” against him “are not true”, and the actor also spoke about his alcoholism.
