Kevin Costner sued by 'Horizon 2' stunt double over rape scene she says was 'unscripted' and 'violent'

Kevin Costner was sued by a stunt performer Devyn LaBella, who claims she was put in an unscripted rape scene in "Horizon 2" without warning or proper filming safety protocols.

Kevin Costner has been sued by a stunt performer from the set of “Horizon 2,” who claims she was put in an unscripted rape scene without warning or proper filming safety protocols.

Devyn LaBella, 34, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the “Horizon” series, production company Territory Pictures and Costner — the director, producer and star of the film series — alleging sexual harassment, hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The "violent, unscripted, unscheduled" rape scene unfolded during filming in Utah on May 2, 2023, according to the complaint. LeBella said filming the scene filled her with shame, upended her career and left her reeling with permanent trauma.

"Horizon: An American Saga" is a four-part series written, directed and produced by and starring Costner, chronicling the settlement of the American West. "Chapter 1" of the series was released in June 2024, and "Chapter 2" debuted at film festivals but has not had a theatrical release.

Marty Singer, an attorney for Costner, said in a statement Wednesday that LaBella’s claim has “absolutely no merit” and is “completely contradicted by her own actions.”
