Kevin Costner sued by stunt performer over alleged unscripted rape scene in ‘Horizon 2'
Kevin Costner has been slapped with a lawsuit from a stunt performer who had worked on his film 'Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two.' Devyn LaBella filed a complaint against the 70-year-old actor and the production companies behind the 2024 film, alleging sexual discrimination, harassment, and the creation of a hostile work environment, according to a legal filing obtained by The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. In legal documents, the 34-year-old claimed that she was 'the victim of a violent unscripted, unscheduled rape scene' which she noted was directed by Costner on May 2, 2023.

Costner's legal team has since shut down the claims, saying LaBella's allegations have 'absolutely no merit.' 'Kevin Costner always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously,' Costner's attorney, Marty Singer, told The Post in a statement.

Costner's legal team also shared screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by LaBella following a cast dinner that took place after a rehearsal of the scene in question in May 2023. 'She [LaBella] was in good spirits and made no complaints to them,' Singer told the outlet. 'She continued to work on the movie for a few more weeks until her wrap date, and she took the stunt coordinator to a thank-you dinner.' 4 Costner's legal team has since shut down the claims, saying Devyn LaBella's allegations have 'absolutely no merit.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 4 The Western film franchise saw appalling box office numbers when it premiered in June 2024. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 'She also sent him a cordial thank you text illustrated with happy heart emojis (copy attached),' he added. In her filing, LaBella — who had previously worked on projects including 'Barbie,' 'American Horror Stories,' 'CSI: Vegas,' 'Yellowjackets,' and 'The Rookie' — said she 'experienced shock, embarrassment and humiliation while attempting to process the situation,' in the days that followed after filming. She further claimed that she was 'not hired back to continue her role or at all as a stunt double for Horizon 3, which began filming in early 2024.'

Paris Jackson Teamed Up With Two Other 'Nepo Babies' for a Surprising TV Cameo & We're Seeing Double
Over the years, Paris Jackson has often dipped her toes into acting. She was in an episode of Swarm, a few episodes of American Horror Stories and movies like Sex Appeal, Habit and Gringo. So, of course, it should come as no surprise that she's making an appearance in ABC's hot new show, Doctor Odyssey. This week, the 27-year-old will play one of the college-aged 'vixens' onboard the cruise in the 'Spring Break' episode alongside two familiar faces. She'll be wrecking havoc with Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe, who will be making her acting debut, and Charlotte Lawrence, Bill Lawrence and Crista Miller's actress and singer daughter. More from SheKnows Reese Witherspoon's April Book Club Pick Had Her 'Hooked' & Is Available Now at 30% Off From the bikini-clad photos, it seems Jackson, Phillipe and Miller will be quite a dynamic trio. In the promo, there's a short clip of Jackson's character Nessa flirting with Joshua Jackson's character, Dr. Max Bankman. 'We're having a party in our room tonight,' she tells him. 'You should come.' In another clip, Nessa, who's now rocking a little black dress, suddenly passes out. 'Tell me what she took,' Max says while giving her CPR. 'Call the infirmary, tell them 'Code Alpha' right now.' As he finishes that thought, he also drops to the ground. 'Max?!' Philipa Soo's character, Nurse Avery, shouts out. 'I'm not getting a pulse.' But while this cliffhanger might be enough to make you want to hit play, fans of Phillippe and Witherspoon might be watching because of how similar Phillippe looks to her mom on the show. After all, her pink triangle bikini must be inspired by Elle Woods' Harvard video application essay in Legally Blonde, right? In the comments from the show's TikToks, fans seem to be shocked at their similarity. 'You 100% have your mother's smile!!' wrote one commenter. 'The fact that she reminds me exactly of her mom and her dad at the same time is wild,' another wrote, nodding to her dad and Witherspoon's ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. 'A young Reese Witherspoon,' another fan wrote. 'Got it from her mama.' Looking at them side by side, we couldn't agree more!Best of SheKnows 23 Celebrities Who Are Members of the Church of Scientology Does Robert Irwin Have a Girlfriend?
