Overview
- Devyn LaBella amended her suit on June 18 to include text messages with intimacy coordinator Celeste Cheney in which she labeled the scene an “abomination” and expressed lasting distress.
- She alleges that on May 2, 2023, Costner directed an unscripted scene on the Horizon 2 set in which stunt double Roger Ivens forcibly pinned her down and lifted her skirt.
- The complaint claims no intimacy coordinator or safety professionals were present, leaving LaBella to endure shock, embarrassment and ongoing career setbacks.
- Costner’s attorney Marty Singer disputes the allegations, maintains the scene was a scripted rehearsal without sexual content and criticizes the lawsuit as meritless.
- LaBella is seeking monetary damages, a court order for anti-harassment training and mandatory intimacy coordination on future films, and a public apology.
