If anyone has had a wild and surprisingly fortunat If anyone has had a wild and surprisingly fortunate year, it’s @rinasonline. Back in March, the Niigita-born, London-raised superstar released her debut album #𝘚𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘮𝘢, a thunderous collection of sounds ranging from nu-metal to electropop, amped up with lyrics about climate grief, late-stage capitalism, intergenerational trauma, and being fetishised as an Asian woman.⁠
⁠
Since then, her career has skyrocketed. As in, going from thinking “nobody will know who I am” when she performed at #CharliXCX’s Pop 2 tour to making her worldwide and TV performance debut on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘑𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘺 𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘯. “When you put it like that, fkn hell yeah,” #RinaSawayama tells us.⁠
⁠
At the #linkinbio, we chat to the uber-talented pop-star about her “XS” year, making pop music that’s political, and the likelihood of her collaborating with Charli XCX and her all-time fave, #CarlyRaeJepsen—🥺👉👈. #Pixels, this is an intv you won’t want to miss.
Over the weekend, singer #FKATwigs told 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 about the “relentless abuse” she allegedly experienced from her ex-boyfriend #ShiaLeBeouf. In a lawsuit filed against him, Twigs, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, alleges that LaBeouf physically, emotionally and mentally abused her for nearly a year.

The details of the relationship in the 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 piece are pretty distressing, and we'd flag that before reading it. In brief, Twigs accused LaBeouf of knowingly giving her a sexually transmitted infection, sexual battery, assault and emotional distress over the course of their relationship. Karolyn Pho, a stylist and musician Sia have described similar experiences.

While the alleged incidents occurred in America, domestic violence is a universal issue. The story comes after a recent survey by Monash University found over 50% of DV workers in Australia have reported an increase in DV cases since the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, as the Morrison government decides to spend $240 million over five years towards improving women's financial security, but $575 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯 dollars on defence over the next decade. As Counting Dead Women put it, “2020 will be remembered as the worst year for domestic violence.” 

“What I went through with Shia was the worst thing I’ve ever been through in the whole of my life,” Barnett told 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴. “I don’t think people would ever think that it would happen to me. But I think that’s the thing. It can happen to anybody.”

Since FKA Twigs, a woman of colour, came forward with her traumatic experience, she’s been met online with hate speech and disbelief. Some have called her a “clout chaser,” others simply refuse to believe Shia LaBeouf, a man who has previously admitted to an abusive past, could do what he’s been accused of. But, regardless, one thing is clear: neither of them will most likely see your opinions on a woman’s experience with abuse, but the people in your lives who have experienced it will.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse and needs someone to talk to, please, contact 1800RESPECT. If you feel like your life is in danger, call 000.
