Kevin Costner Sued Over Alleged Unscripted Rape Scene

Stunt performer Devyn LaBella has sued Kevin Costner and the production companies behind 'Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two,' alleging she was forced to perform a violent, unscripted rape scene directed by Costner without proper notice, consent, or an intimacy coordinator. LaBella claims the incident violated SAG-AFTRA protocols, which require 48-hour notice, performer consent, and a closed set for intimate scenes. She alleges the experience left her traumatized and led to her exclusion from future work on the film. Costner's legal team has denied the allegations, calling them baseless and citing LaBella's continued work and friendly messages on set afterward. The lawsuit seeks damages for sexual harassment, discrimination, hostile work environment, and breach of contract, highlighting industry-wide concerns over consent and safety. The film's production has also been affected by financial disputes with a production partner.
