Kevin Costner has fired back at a lawsuit from a “ Horizon 2 ” stunt performer who claims that she was forced to perform an unscripted rape scene in violation of union protocols.
In a motion to throw out the lawsuit filed Tuesday, Costner said the allegations are “patently false” and “deeply disappointing” and were designed to damage his reputation.
“I can only assume that purpose was to use this sensationalistic language to embarrass and damage me and the ‘Horizon’ movies on an ongoing basis in order to gain a massive and unjustified payday,” Costner said in a court declaration. “Equally as bad, having to read about and address allegations I know to be false involving the words ‘rape’ and ‘assault’ has been an absolute nightmare.”
