Kevin Costner opens up about ‘drama' of working with women
The Yellowstone actor made the remarks in the wake of being sued by a stunt double in his latest film Horizon over the inclusion of an alleged 'violent' and 'unscripted' rape scene.
Appearing at a question and answer session with Michael Strahan at the Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday (20.06.25), Kevin was asked by the 53-year-old Good Morning America host how he has been able to work romantic storylines into his sports and western films.
He said: 'But movies for me, you just can't have a movie without having a girl.
'These movies, even in my westerns when I did Horizon, it's dominated by women. It's just dominated by, and I just think they made for the best movies, the games we play and the professional athletes, it is a three-hour day for them.
'They basically practice the entire year, but they have these lives outside the lines of what they play. And that's where a lot of drama takes place.'
His remarks come amid a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him and the producers of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 by Devyn LaBella, 28, a stunt double who claims she was subjected to a 'violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene' without notice on set in May 2023.
Court documents obtained by DailyMail.com say Devyn was hired as a stunt double for lead actress Ella Hunt and not informed or consented to the added scene, which she alleges caused 'permanent trauma'. She also claimed the absence of an intimacy coordinator during filming.
Her suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, states the scene was not on the call sheet and Hunt herself refused to perform it, allegedly walking off set.
She added Kevin directed actor Roger Ivens to perform the assault scene and asked her to stand in without adequate preparation or safeguards.
Kevin's attorney Marty Singer denied the allegations, calling her a 'serial accuser' and accusing her of 'shakedown tactics'.
He stated: 'Kevin always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously.'
He also said Devyn had approved and rehearsed a prior intimate scene and was 'in good spirits' afterwards.
Devyn, whose credits include Barbie (2023) and FX's American Horror Stories, said in a statement to People: 'On that day, I was left exposed, unprotected, and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism.'
She added she sought therapy for anxiety and sleep disturbances after the incident and vowed to advocate for safer sets.
Her attorneys, James A. Vagnini and Kate McFarlane, described the case as 'emblematic of what is still a very deep rooted issue in Hollywood' and 'a clear example of male-dominated, sexist Hollywood movie production.'

'The joy of LEGO': fun for all ages at Newcastle Brickfest
Generations of children have a LEGO story to tell. Kevin Evans, now an adult, is no exception. "Like many kids, my earliest memories are filled with the joy of LEGO sets received for birthdays and Christmases. Back then, the bricks were simpler yet just as magical, connecting seamlessly with today's intricate designs - a testament to LEGO's timeless genius," he tells Weekender from his home in Anna Bay. "As I entered my teenage years, other interests took hold, and my beloved bricks quietly slipped into storage for a long 30-year hiatus. "Then, about 15 years ago, fate (or perhaps a very clever gift-giver) intervened. Our son received a LEGO set for his birthday, and as I sat down to help him build, something clicked back into place. A few months later, he excitedly showed me the magnificent Tower Bridge set. That was it. I had to have it!" LEGO brought the Evans family together. It became a shared family passion. "Wearing her dedicated school fundraiser hat, my wife spearheaded our very first fundraising event in 2011 for our son's primary school. The success was incredible, and soon, other schools and organisations began approaching us, eager for us to bring the brick magic to their communities," Kevin says. "It was this amazing momentum that led us to officially form Rainbow Bricks in 2013, turning a family hobby into a vibrant community group, all built on the enduring love of LEGO." Rainbow Bricks is a Recognised LEGO User Group, which is a formal designation given by The LEGO Group to a community of Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs). This recognition is part of the LEGO Ambassador Network, which is a program designed to foster collaboration between LEGO and the global fan community. Rainbow Bricks was officially recognised by LEGO in January 2014 and is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to bringing together AFOLs and their families. "We have over 130 members and focus on building camaraderie, collaborative experiences and fundraising for our charity partners," Kevin says. "Anyone can display with Rainbow Bricks and share their love for LEGO. To become a member of Rainbow Bricks, you need to have displayed twice at our events before we will invite you to become a member." Rainbow Bricks is primarily an adult community, but its events are family-friendly, and many member families display together. Newcastle Brickfest is Rainbow Bricks' flagship event, held annually at locations across Newcastle, the Central Coast, Hunter Valley and the Mid North Coast. It is considered one of Australia's premier LEGO fan events and is the largest in NSW. This year's event, on July 5 and 6 at Newcastle Racecourse, will feature more than 270 tables of LEGO creations and raise money for John Hunter Children's Hospital Kids Club. "Last year, we managed to donate over $30,000 to the Kids Club, which was used to purchase additional equipment for the hospital," Kevin says. "This year, we're running the event over two full days and have added a Sensory Section for anyone who finds the crowd a bit overwhelming. "You'll see original creations from some of Australia's best builders, including a few LEGO master builders, and builders who have been featured in the LEGO House's displays of Masterpiece Builds in Billund, Denmark." The dedicated Sensory Section will be operational on Sunday, July 6, 9am to 10.30am, offering a calm and welcoming environment for individuals with sensory sensitivities. Brickfest 2025 activities will include: What is it about LEGO that has proven so enduring, I ask? Why do people love it so much? "It encourages imagination for all ages," Kevin replies. "LEGO has a versatile design, meaning bricks from any era interlock, fostering endless creativity. They are high-quality bricks that withstand the years of play. It also aids children's fine motor skills and enhances their problem-solving abilities, and many adults revisit LEGO through fond childhood memories, providing engaging, screen-free fun."

Kevin Costner's lawyer slams sexual harassment claims
Kevin Costner's lawyer has described of sexual harassment allegation against the actor as "meritless". The Yellowstone actor is being sued by Devyn LaBella, who has claimed she was subjected to a "violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene" without notice on set in May 2023 while filming Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2. The 24-year-old stuntwoman's team first filed the lawsuit against Costner and Horizon producers in May and have filed an amended complaint including text messages with the movie's intimacy co-ordinator, and the alleged emotions she felt after the scene. In response, Costner's lawyer Marty Singer told in a statement: "Ms LaBella was doing a rehearsal on an insert shot for a scripted scene. There was no intimacy or anything sexual in the shot. "There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor." The lawyer has also alleged that LaBella - who was a stunt double for series star Ella Hunt - thanked her supervisor for "these wonderful weeks" after finishing work on the Western saga. "Numerous witnesses have contradicted Ms LaBella's meritless claims," Singer said. "We look forward to the swift end of this specious lawsuit.' Court documents obtained by say LaBella was hired as a stunt double for lead actress Ella Hunt and not informed or consented to the added scene, which she alleges caused "permanent trauma".

World-first Barbie Cafe opens in Australia
Australia has become home to the first ever Malibu Barbie Cafe outside the United States, but the venue is only here to stay for a limited time. Melbourne's Chadstone Shopping Centre is hosting the venue, which is expected to remain open until next summer.

Mattel Asia-Pacific managing director Paul Faulkner said the time had come for Barbie to re-enter the national consciousness. The Malibu Barbie cafe captures the aesthetic of a Barbie Dreamhouse. 9 News Credit: Supplied 'Fans responded so well to the Barbie Movie back in 2023 that we thought it was time to give them another dose of Barbie,' he told 7News. 'We're really looking forward to bringing Barbie in a new way to consumers, not just through the toy but through immersive experiences,' he said. All kinds of treats can be purchased at the cafe. 9 News Credit: Supplied 'Barbie is 65 years old, and for a brand to resonate like that for so long with so many different demographics, it's really incredible.' Mushroom Group Marketing Manager Brii Jamieson called the cafe a 'labour of love'. 'As you can see, it's come to life in the most amazing way.' Prior to establishing itself in Melbourne, the Malibu Barbie cafe has popped up in cities across the United States including New York, San Diego, Miami, Chicago, Houston and Austin.
