Overview

• Devyn LaBella alleges that on May 2, 2023, Costner directed an unplanned rape scene on Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 set, stepping in for lead actress Ella Hunt without prior notice or an intimacy coordinator.
• The lawsuit contends the impromptu scene violated SAG-AFTRA rules requiring 48-hour notice, performer consent, closed sets and a contracted intimacy coordinator for simulated sex.
• LaBella says she suffered shock, humiliation and ongoing anxiety after the incident, prompting therapy from June 2023 onward and leaving her with what she calls permanent trauma.
• She claims that after reporting the incident she was excluded from subsequent Horizon films and other projects in retaliation for speaking out.
• Costner’s attorney Marty Singer vehemently denies the allegations as meritless, asserting LaBella approved the scene during rehearsal and describing her as a serial accuser.
