Overview
- Devyn LaBella alleges that during filming of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 on May 2, 2023, she was asked to stand in for Ella Hunt in an impromptu rape scene without prior notice, consent or an intimacy coordinator.
- The lawsuit contends that no 48-hour notice was given and that the scene was not listed on the call sheet, violating SAG-AFTRA protocols on intimate scenes.
- LaBella claims the experience left her with permanent trauma, including anxiety, sleep disturbances and fears of intimacy, leading her to seek therapy.
- Costner’s attorney Marty Singer denies all allegations as meritless and points to text messages and LaBella’s continued work on set as evidence contradicting her account.
- LaBella is seeking unspecified damages, a public apology and court-ordered sexual harassment training along with mandated use of intimacy coordinators on future productions.
