EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Costner Labeled a ‘Shameless Misogynist’ for Shocking ‘Women Are Dramatic’ Comments – Now Faces a Million-Dollar ‘Unscripted’ Lawsuit! Hollywood Insiders Reveal the Shocking Details Behind the Star’s Controversial Comments, the Reaction, and What the Scandal Means for His Future Career!

Kevin Costner has put the woke brigade in arms.

Kevin Costner has delivered a masterclass in when to be dishonest.

RadarOnline.com can reveal the Hollywood veteran has been branded a “shameless misogynist” after claiming working with women is all about the “drama” – weeks after a stunt double twice accused him of directing an unscripted incident on the set of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2.

“Shut up Kev!”

Critics say he should have stuck to his guns instead of painting women as hysterics.

The 70-year-old actor and director took the stage at Fanatics Fest on Friday, joining Good Morning America host Michael Strahan, 53, for a Q&A where he made the controversial comments.

Discussing the romance in his films, Costner said: “You can’t have a movie without a girl. Even in my Westerns when I did Horizon, it was dominated by women. And I just think they made the best movies.”

Costner is facing a $10 million lawsuit filed earlier this month by 33-year-old stunt double Devyn LaBella, who alleges she was forced to take part in a “scripted, unscripted” scene during the May 2023 production of the filmmaker’s Horizon 2.

The complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims LaBella was asked to replace actress Ella Hunt without consent, proper notice or the presence of an intimacy coordinator – a violation of Screen Actors Guild safety standards.

LaBella, whose previous credits include Barbie and American Horror Stories, says she suffered “permanent injuries” as a result.

Shocking lawsuit

Costner faces $10 million in damages for her ‘unscripted’ scene.

“On that day, I was exposed, unprotected and “deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism,” she said.

The alleged scene occurred a day after LaBella filmed another scene, choreographed as Hunt’s stunt double.

LaBella claims Costner then directed a separate unscripted scene with actor Roger Ivens, instructing him to climb on top of her and roughly lift up her skirt.

The moment was not on the call sheet that day, she said, and Hunt allegedly refused to film himself and left the set.

LaBella’s lawyers say her experience reflects a systemic problem in Hollywood.

“This case is a clear example of a male-dominated, sexist Hollywood production,” attorney Kate McFarlane said. “Our client was subjected to conduct that was completely unprotected from obvious harm.”

Co-counsel James A. Vagnini added: “This is emblematic of what “It’s still a very deep-rooted problem in Hollywood.”

The lawsuit also alleges that after the incident, LaBella returned to the set but was isolated and instructed to stay in her trailer.

The actor and filmmaker’s attorneys claim the lawsuit is a ‘turnaround’.

“It’s awkward,” she said. “They’re defending (Costner.) I’m left to deal with the fallout.”

Costner’s attorney, Marty Singer, has categorically denied the allegations, calling LaBella a “serial accuser” and her lawsuit a “turnaround.”

In a statement, he stressed: “Kevin always wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable working on his films and took safety on set very seriously.”

Singer also claims that LaBella rehearsed the scene in question and later texted the film’s stunt coordinator with a heart emoji, thanking him for the opportunity. the show.

“The facts are clear and we are extremely confident that Kevin will win,” he said.

But Costner’s comments at Fanatics Fest have fueled a backlash.

One viewer, who spoke to RadarOnline.com anonymously, called his comments “just tone deaf” in light of the legal controversy.

“He basically said, ‘Women are the movie,’ like it was something glamorous.” “But in this context, it just came across as deeply arrogant.

“There was a gasp from some viewers when he said that. It just made him look like a dinosaur… a brazen misogynist, really.

“Someone his smart should know when to shut up.”

Costner has yet to comment publicly on the lawsuit, and a trial date has not yet been set.
