Overview

• Costner’s filing includes sworn statements from numerous crew members, on-set photos, and a post-shoot text from LaBella that his team says contradicts her claims.
• In declarations, stunt coordinator Wade Allen and actor Roger Ivens assert the shot involved no intimacy, nudity, or sexual contact and that LaBella showed no distress.
• LaBella’s amended complaint attaches an intimacy coordinator’s report describing an unplanned violent rape scene presented without required safeguards or consent.
• Costner calls the allegations false and reputation-damaging, while LaBella’s lawyer labels the dismissal effort a delay tactic and points to contemporaneous messages as corroboration.
• The anti-SLAPP motion could trigger early dismissal or an immediate appeal that prolongs the case, with arguments set for Sept. 18 in Los Angeles.
