Kevin Costner Moves to Dismiss Lawsuit Over Alleged “Violent Rape Scene

Kevin Costner is fighting to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by stunt performer Devyn LaBella, who claims she was forced into an unscripted and unscheduled rape scene on the set of the Western film series “Horizon.”

Costner has appealed a judge’s decision that dismissed two of LaBella’s ten claims, aiming to have the remaining eight thrown out.

LaBella, who worked as lead stunt double for Ella Hunt in Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 2, filed the lawsuit in May 2025.

She accused Costner of se**** discrimination, harassment, and creating a “hostile work environment” during filming. She alleged that she was “the victim of a violent unscripted, unscheduled rape scene directed by Kevin Costner.”

“On that day, I was left exposed, unprotected, and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism,” LaBella told The Hollywood Reporter. “What happened to me shattered my trust and forever changed how I move through this industry.”

Costner has strongly denied the allegations. His attorney, Marty Singer, stated, “Kevin Costner always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously. However, this claim by Devyn LaBella has absolutely no merit, and it is completely contradicted by her own actions — and the facts.”
