Los Angeles, May 29, 2025 – Stuntwoman Devyn LaBella has filed a lawsuit against Kevin Costner, accusing him of directing an unscripted and non-consensual simulated rape scene during the filming of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2. LaBella, who doubled for actress Ella Hunt, claims the scene was filmed without prior notice, rehearsal, or an intimacy coordinator—violating standard film industry safety protocols.
Costner’s legal team has denied the allegations, stating LaBella had approved the scene and showed no signs of discomfort. The lawsuit seeks damages, a public apology, and stricter safety measures in future productions. The controversy adds pressure to the Horizon film series, which is already facing uncertainty after a weak box office debut.
