Overview

• Devyn LaBella filed suit on May 27 against Kevin Costner and producers, accusing them of forcing her into an unscripted rape scene on Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 2.
• According to the complaint, the May 2, 2023 shoot in Utah was added after lead actress Ella Hunt walked off and LaBella was briefed only after filming had begun.
• The lawsuit argues the production violated SAG-AFTRA requirements for at least 48 hours’ notice and the presence of an intimacy coordinator for simulated-sex scenes.
• Costner’s attorney Marty Singer disputes the claims, saying LaBella was fully informed, rehearsed the scene, signaled her consent and remained in good spirits afterward.
• LaBella seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages plus a public apology, and says the incident caused permanent trauma and cost her future franchise work.
