Summary
Kevin Costner faces a sexual harassment lawsuit after an unscheduled, unscripted rape scene in "Horizon: An American Saga" left a stunt performer Yazmin LaBella traumatized. Her claims allege violations of production protocols and lack of intimacy coordination, with her lawyer stating her past similar cases highlight the harassment allegations as tactics rather than fact. Meanwhile, legal action against New Line continues over cofinancing, while "Horizon 2" may yet be delayed due to low box office results. If the harassment case proceeds, it could further impact the sequel's release schedule.
