Kevin Costner Slammed for Controversial Remarks Amid Lawsuit Allegations
Amidst allegations of misconduct and a lawsuit filed against him, actor Kevin Costner is facing backlash for his recent remarks at Fanatics Fest.
Costner’s attorney, Marty Singer, has vehemently denied the accusations made by a stuntwoman named LaBella, labeling her as a “serial accuser” and the lawsuit as a “shakedown.” Singer emphasized Costner’s commitment to ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment on set.
According to Singer, LaBella had allegedly rehearsed the scene in question and even expressed gratitude to the film’s stunt coordinator via text, using heart emojis to convey her appreciation for the opportunity.
Despite Singer’s strong defense, Costner’s recent comments at Fanatics Fest have only added fuel to the fire. An audience member, speaking anonymously to RadarOnline.com, criticized Costner’s remarks as “tone deaf” and “deeply arrogant” in the context of the ongoing legal controversy.
The audience member recounted Costner’s statement, where he reportedly referred to women as “drama,” a remark that was received with audible gasps and disapproval from some attendees. The comment was perceived as insensitive and misogynistic, tarnishing Costner’s public image.
Despite the mounting criticism, Costner has remained silent on the lawsuit, and a trial date has yet to be scheduled.
