Costner is having major money issues after his western drama, 'Horizon: An American Saga,' bombed.

Despite Costner, 70, putting $38million of his own cash to bring his vision to life, he was still assisted by investors who were hoping to see the film become a hit. However, that was not the case at all.

"Horizon was an epic failure that bled a lot of money out of (Costner) and didn't get much viewing," a source said. "He's still picking himself up off the floor over that, and now he's got this beast of a lawsuit threatening to get seriously costly, and he's smack-bang in the firing line unless his legal team can find a Hail Mary solution."

A stuntwoman on the film, Devyn La Bella, filed a complaint against the Oscar winner and the Horizon production companies, claiming she was the "victim of a violet unscripted, unscheduled rape scene," in the film, which Costner directed.

Bombshell Lawsuit Details Revealed

A stuntwoman from the film has also sued Costner over an ' unscripted, unscheduled rape scene.'

The 34-year-old requested a trial jury, and the amount she is suing for has not been revealed. She was hired to be the stunt double for the film's lead actress, Ella Hunt, and her job was to stand in for Hunt "during physical scenes."

According to the complaint, SAG does not allow "any last-minute requests for nudity or simulated sex," and a 48-hour notice is required to get the performer's permission for any updates regarding intimate scenes.

LaBella's lawsuit, filed on May 2, 2023, notes she was on set for a "non-intimate scene" as Hunt's stunt double when the Yellowstone actor allegedly added a scene involving a second actor, Roger Ivens, and directed him to "climb on top of Ms. Hunt, violently raking up her skirt."

The 70-year-old allegedly did not give the woman any notice before the scene was filmed.

Following the scene, LaBella claimed she experienced "reminders of shame, humiliation, and complete lack of control," and took a few days off from set. She said she was left with "permanent trauma" that impacted her career.

"This experience has ignited in me a lifelong mission to be the advocate I once needed, ensuring no one else is ever left as vulnerable as I was," she said in a statement.

According to Costner's lawyers, the allegations have "absolutely no merit," but the movie star, who at one point was worth $400million, is said to be sick about how this will impact his wallet.

To add insult to injury, Costner's love life is in shambles, too, after his wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce in May 2023; it was finalized in February of 2024.

The Hollywood star pays his ex over $60K a month in child support for their three kids, although her ask was originally $250,000. The pain continued as Baumgartner ended up getting engaged to financier and Costner's former friend, Josh Connor.

"Even though Kevin got off comparatively lightly, he'll be shelling out child support for years to come," the insider noted. It gets him down big-time. He's morose and panicked over what this new development means."
