As Use weekly Previously reported, Labella filed his demand against Costner, 70 and Territoria Pictures last month and presented new evidence to court On June 18. He claims he was hired to work Horizonthat Costner directed and filmed a “allegedly violent, without script and unscheduled rape scene” in May 2023.
“What happened to me in this set was a reckless violation: a breach of the consent and the basic safety of the workplace,” Labella claimed in a statement to Us On Wednesday, June 25.
“I was told to be at the same time and, without warning or essay, another actor was brought to simulate a rape above me,” he said. “My clothes were exposed. I was left alone later, overwhelmed and in a state of shock. The fulfillment of the pressure is not consent. The consent cannot be given after the damage has already begun.”
She adduced: “ONCE THE LINE IS CROSSED, THERE IS NO REAL CHOICE LEFT TO MAKE. AND IMMEDIATELY IMME UP UP. AND FOR THAT, AND WAS MET WITH SILENCE, DEFLECTION, AND EFFORTS TO DISCredit Me. This Case Is Not Just About What Happened To Me. It’s About To Broken System Power and Punishes Those Who Speak Out.

Costner previously denied allegations against him, with his lawyer Marty Singer saying Us In a statement“(Labella) was doing an rehearsal in an insertion shot for a talked scene. There was no privacy or sexual.
When the comment was presented on Wednesday, the singer reiterated this statement and added: “We look forward to the quick end of this specific demand.”
One of Labella’s lawyers, James Vagniniissued his own statement Wednesday, saying Us, “ In addition to modifying this complaint to address the continued attempts of those accused of interfering with Ms. Labella’s opportunities, we change this complaint to emphasize the indisputable evidence that from the moment Ms. Labella was subjected to the trauma obliged to it, stated and stated its objections and suffering. ”
Vagnini continued, “In spite of the continued erroneous statements of the accused that Ms. Labella had no problem with what happened, the tests, including text messages, telephone calls and even a shameless report from the privacy coordinator of the production, demonstrates the true narrative: that the accused failed it in every possible way. The game book used by defendants like this is tired, archaic and as empty as his words. How many more men who have followed this same pattern of denial and redirection must be demanded or go to jail before they realize that responsibility and apology make a long way? ”
Kate mcfarlaneAnother Labella lawyer also claimed that the “attempted The murder of characters of Ms. Labella is extremely disappointing. However, it’s not surprising, “he said on Wednesday.” We have seen this time and another of the men in this industry trying to divert the narrative instead of doing any responsibility for their actions that hurt others. “
In his demand, Labella stated that the alleged rape scene was not to have actress She hunt and actor Roger Ivens. Labella stated that Hunter refused to shoot on the scene after learning that he would imply his skirt to be “violently” dragged by Ivens.

Another reading, “who will be responsible for the abuse of power …”
The coordinator then wrote a report, saying: “This was not a formal or uniform process. Ideally, the apologies would be issued by (Costner), the first DC, and others involved in both her and Devyn. She requested that the privacy coordinator be provided with support the following week. The obligatory production requested that his home was able to receive his home. And friends.
Costner’s lawyer previously stated that the case had no “merit” and that the filmmaker “wants to say that everyone is comfortable” in their movie sets. He argued that Labella’s allegations were “completely contradicted by their own actions.”
