Devin LaBella has dedicated her career to the entertainment industry, but Hollywood has its drawbacks. A stuntwoman who is also a writer, actress, and producer, she gained attention in May 2025 when she filed a lawsuit against veteran actor and director Kevin Costner. She accused him of directing a scene of sexual violence that, according to her, was not planned and was not agreed upon on the set of the movie «Horizon: American Saga. Chapter 2».
According to the complaint filed by Devin in the Supreme Court of California in Los Angeles County, she claimed that she «became a victim of a violent, non-scripted, unplanned rape scene directed by Kevin Costner», - according to People. Her lawsuit also includes the production companies for the film «Horizon 2».
Devin worked as a stunt double for actress Ella Hunt under a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) contract, according to the complaint. She was hired to stand in for Ella «during physical scenes», - including stunts. The lawsuit also states that SAG does not allow «any sudden requests for nudity or simulated sex» on set and that producers must give 48 hours notice and obtain the performer’s consent for any sudden changes in intimate scenes. According to the complaint, Ella’s contract required a «coordinator for all intimate scenes».
Devin claimed in her lawsuit that after filming «Horizon 2» for «several weeks» and «without incident», - she was told that she would be replacing Ella in a «rape scene as scripted» with Ella’s character, Juliet, and the character of Douglas Smith, Sr. The next day, Devin said, Kevin added another scene of sexual violence that, according to her, was not on the shooting schedule. Devin claimed that Kevin asked her to «replace» Ella «without proper notice, consent, preparation, or appropriate safety measures».
In her statement, Devin also claimed that she did not know that Ella had actually left the set after allegedly refusing to shoot the discussed scene. She is suing Kevin for an unspecified amount.
