Kevin Costner is facing renewed allegations from a stuntwoman who claims an intimate scene during filming of his Western epic Horizon was filmed without her consent while she was menstruating. The lawsuit, initially filed in August, centers around an alleged unscripted sexual encounter during production, and Costner has vehemently denied the accusations.
The claims, brought by stunt performer LaBella, allege a violation of her personal boundaries and professional safety. Costner has moved to dismiss the suit, characterizing the allegations as “absolutely false” and expressing disappointment that a member of the production team would attempt to damage his reputation. The case raises critical questions about on-set safety protocols, consent, and the power dynamics between actors and stunt performers in the film industry.
According to court documents, LaBella asserts that her undergarments remained undisturbed during the scene. costner, in his legal response filed on August 19, 2025, maintains the accusations are unfounded and seeks to have the lawsuit dismissed.
TMZ has reached out to Kevin Costner’s representative for comment but has not yet received a response. The outcome of the dismissal request will determine whether the case proceeds to trial, potentially setting a precedent for how similar situations are handled in the future.
