Kevin Costner’s Lawyer Cries “Shakedown” As Stuntwoman Slams Star & ‘Horizon’ Franchise Over “Violent Unscripted” Rape Scene
Kevin Costner and his Horizon: An American Saga franchise are already facing legal action from New Line over a cofinancing deal, and now the star/director of the Western series has been hit with a sexual harassment suit by a veteran stuntwoman over an unscheduled, unrehearsed “violent unscripted” rape scene.
Costner’s longtime attorney Marty Singer has bluntly called “shakedown” on the unspecified damages jury trial seeking complaint from Devyn LaBella.
Represented by lawyers at Hadsell Stormer Renick & Dai and Valli Kane & Vagnini, SAG-AFTRA member and Barbie alum LaBella says she is filing “this action not only for the damages she has sustained, but to address the continued failures at the highest levels of Hollywood production companies to comprehend and address the impacts of performing in sexually explicit and violent ‘scenes’ and the need for intimacy coordination.”
