Kevin Costner Moves To Dismiss Stunt Double’s Harassment Suit Over Alleged ‘Horizon’ Rape Scene

Costner’s filing cites declarations plus a post-shoot text that lawyers say contradict Devyn LaBella’s account.

Overview

  • Costner asked a judge on Tuesday to throw out Devyn LaBella’s lawsuit over an alleged violent, unscheduled rape scene on Horizon.
  • His declaration calls the accusations “absolutely false” and “deeply disappointing,” according to the newly filed court papers.
  • Defense filings include a message LaBella allegedly sent a supervisor after wrapping that thanked the team and said she was happy with how things worked out.
  • Costner’s account says LaBella and actor Roger Ivens were fully clothed in a wagon scene with no nudity, no simulated sex and no physical contact.
  • LaBella, Ella Hunt’s stunt double, previously alleged repeated simulated-rape takes without an intimacy coordinator in violation of SAG-AFTRA guidance.
