Kate Beckinsale Files Amended Suit Against 'Canary Black' Producers Over Knee Injury

The May 21 complaint accuses producers of ignoring her doctor’s orders to restrict stunts after a meniscus tear.

Overview

  • Beckinsale filed an anonymous Jane Doe lawsuit in December 2024 and amended it on May 21 to include her name and detailed evidence.
  • The complaint alleges that Anton Entertainment and producer John Zois exposed her to dangerous conditions, including unexpected stunts and inadequate safety measures.
  • She claims a December 2022 stunt caused a complex meniscus tear that was worsened when producers ignored her surgeon’s restrictions in early 2023.
  • Beckinsale’s team raised red flags about grueling 15-hour shooting days and insufficient medical support that went unaddressed.
  • She is seeking general and special damages and a jury trial as her lawsuit proceeds in Los Angeles Superior Court.
