US EditionKevin Costner Accused Of Adding Surprise Assault Scene In ‘Horizon’
- Kevin Costner was sued on May 27, 2025, in Los Angeles Superior Court by stunt double Devyn LaBella over an unscripted sexual assault scene filmed in May 2023 on Horizon 2.
- The lawsuit arose after Costner allegedly added the violent scene without notice, causing LaBella severe emotional distress and violating SAG-AFTRA protocols.
- LaBella claims she lacked consent, no intimacy coordinator was present, multiple takes exposed her personal undergarments, and the scene was witnessed by producers on video village monitors.
- The 28-page suit accuses sexual discrimination, harassment, breach of contract, and seeks damages, an apology, and mandatory anti-harassment training, while Costner's lawyer denies the allegations as meritless.
- The case may proceed to a jury trial before Horizon 2’s release and underscores continuing disputes over workplace safety in Hollywood productions tied to Costner’s Horizon franchise.
