In a filing obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Devyn LaBella filed a complaint against the 70-year-old actor and the production companies responsible for the 2024 Western film.

LaBella alleges sexual discrimination, harassment, and the creation of a hostile work environment.

In the documents, the 34-year-old claimed that she was "the victim of a violent unscripted, unscheduled rape scene," which was reportedly directed by Costner on May 2, 2023.

LaBella further claimed that she "experienced shock, embarrassment, and humiliation while attempting to process the situation," and was "not hired back to continue her role or at all as a stunt double for Horizon 3, which began filming in early 2024."

She also shared in a personal statement that she was "left exposed, unprotected, and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism" following the scene.

"What happened to me shattered my trust and forever changed how I move through this industry," LaBella said.

"Kevin Costner always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously," the JFK star's attorney Marty Singer said in a statement to The Post.

Costner's legal team also shared screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by the stunt performer after a cast dinner that took place after a rehearsal of the scene in question in May 2023.

"She [LaBella] was in good spirits and made no complaints to them," Singer added. "She continued to work on the movie for a few more weeks until her wrap date, and she took the stunt coordinator to a thank you dinner."
