Overview

• LaBella’s lawsuit alleges that on May 2, 2023, she was abruptly placed into a rape scene on the Utah set of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 without prior notice, rehearsal or consent.
• The filing contends the production breached SAG-AFTRA guidelines requiring at least 48 hours’ advance notice and the presence of an intimacy coordinator for simulated sex scenes.
• After refusing to perform the improvised sequence, LaBella claims she was excluded from further Horizon work and dropped by the stunt coordinator in retaliation.
• Kevin Costner’s attorney Marty Singer calls the lawsuit “absolutely unfounded,” noting that LaBella allegedly signaled her approval of the scene during rehearsal.
• The case, filed May 27, 2025, is currently in pretrial legal proceedings with both sides preparing evidence ahead of hearings.
