Kevin Costner Loses Bid to Dismiss Harassment Suit Over Horizon 2 Unscripted Scene
A court has denied Kevin Costner’s bid to dismiss a harassment lawsuit alleging he arranged an unscripted rape scene during the filming of Horizon 2. The plaintiff, Devyn LaBella, filed the suit in May, accusing Costner and the production of sexual harassment because LaBella was allegedly forced to perform the scene without advance warning and without an intimacy coordinator. The ruling allows the case to move forward. This development is part of a broader conversation in film and television about on-set safety, consent, and the role of intimacy coordinators. Readers seeking updates on entertainment law and celebrity lawsuits can follow this case as it unfolds.
