Stunt performer Devyn LaBella has filed a lawsuit against Kevin Costner, claiming she experienced sexual harassment during the filming of 'Horizon II'. She alleges that on May 2, 2023, she was forced to participate in an unscripted rape scene without proper safety protocols or an intimacy coordinator present. LaBella argues this violated her contractual rights and state discrimination laws.
Costner has strongly denied these accusations, with his lawyer Marty Singer stating that 12 independent witnesses can confirm the claims are false. Singer describes the lawsuit as a 'transparent shakedown' attempt.
LaBella is seeking financial damages and court orders requiring intimacy coordinators on future Costner productions, plus mandatory anti-harassment training. The legal battle could impact Costner's Western film series, as the first 'Horizon' movie underperformed commercially. A crucial hearing is scheduled for September 18 in Los Angeles.
