Overview

• On June 18, 2025, stunt performer Devyn LaBella amended her lawsuit against Kevin Costner and Territory Pictures to include text messages with intimacy coordinator Celeste Cheney documenting her distress after a May 2, 2023, unscheduled scene on the ‘Horizon 2’ set.
• The suit alleges Costner directed actor Roger Ivens to mount LaBella, forcibly lift her skirt and pin her down in a violent, unrehearsed take that deviated from her stunt role.
• According to the complaint, no SAG-AFTRA–mandated intimacy coordinator was present during the incident despite one overseeing a similar scene the day before.
• LaBella claims she faced retaliation after raising concerns, including exclusion from ‘Horizon 3,’ loss of industry contacts and being labeled a “serial accuser” by Costner’s team.
• Costner’s lawyer, Marty Singer, maintains the allegations have “absolutely no merit” and emphasizes that Costner prioritizes safety on set as the lawsuit advances in Los Angeles County courts.
