Gets Part Of ‘Horizon 2’ Stunt Performer Lawsuit Tossed …
Lawyer Rips Accuser
Published
Kevin Costner tried to get a lawsuit against him over an alleged unscripted rape scene tossed out of court … it wasn’t thrown out completely, but about a chunk is now gone.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge in the case denied his motion to throw out all 10 of Devyn LaBella‘s claims … and instead tossed two.
One of those involved sexual harassment and the other involved an alleged violation of the Bane Act, which is intended to combat hate crimes.
Costner’s attorney, Marty Singer, tells TMZ … “We were pleased to learn that the Court granted our anti-SLAPP motion in part, dismissing two of the plaintiff’s claims (including one of her claims for sexual harassment).”
He continues … “While we were disappointed with the Court’s decision to allow her remaining causes of action to proceed, the evidence is clear that they have no legal or factual merit, and we plan to appeal the Court’s decision promptly. In spite of the plaintiff’s outlandish allegations, there was never any ‘simulated rape,’ ‘simulated sex’ or sexual harassment – and absolutely no retaliation. Rather, she is seeking millions of dollars for agreeing to participate in the rehearsal of a single, benign shot that even she admits was explained to her in advance. We will continue to fight for the truth and we are extremely confident we will prevail.”
As we’ve told you … LaBella sued back in May, claiming she was forced to participate in an unscripted and unscheduled rape scene on the set of the Western film series, “Horizon.”
Kevin’s insisted there was NO violent rape scene on his set … and he’s called the lawsuit a shake down.
TMZ broke the story … Kevin filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit back in August … but the judge’s ruling didn’t come down until today.
1:05 PM PT — Sources close to the couple tell TMZ they have NOT broken up and are just fine.
It’s over between Steven Tyler and his longtime girlfriend Aimee Preston … TMZ has learned the couple has called it quits on their relationship.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us Steven and Aimee have broken up … though it’s unclear when they separated and what led to the split.
Steven hired Aimee as his personal assistant way back in 2012 … they started dating in 2014 but waited until the 2016 Oscars to go public with their romance, holding hands at Elton John‘s AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party.
The exes made things work for over a decade despite a 39-year age gap … and Aimee was often by Steven’s side at Hollywood events, premieres, and the like.
But, it would appear the sweet emotions between them have come to an end … and it sounds like they are no longer crazy about each other.

Not part of the Throb Mob yet? Buckle up, ’cause Boy Throb — the TikTok viral boyband — will soon have your hearts throbbing too … but they want to make one thing crystal clear, telling TMZ they’re not satire … even if the full group hasn’t hit the stage together just yet!
Three of the four Throbbers — Evan Papier, Anthony Key and Zachary Sobania — chatted with TMZ Thursday fresh out of a Chase Bank … where they were trying to score a loan to cover visa costs to get their fourth member, Darshan Magdum, from India to the U.S. Yeah — that’s one big indicator of just how serious they are.
TMZ.com
Their infectious, high-energy hustle to get Darshan — currently holding it down on Zoom — over to the States has sent them rocketing to viral fame. And with Grammy dreams already locked in, the guys insist they’re built to last.
As for the haters? The guys had some words — telling them to peep the harmonies, the vocals and the dance moves, stressing they “ain’t playing” — even giving us an epic performance of their original, catchy track, “Finger.”
Hit play on the full clip — the guys spill more on swatting away haters while chasing boyband glory, break down how it all started, and sound off on their rival group, the Shadow Baddies.
They preach unity — but LBR, they’re not truly complete until Darshan’s visa clears and he touches down Stateside. So yeah, catch the clip for the latest update … ’cause it looks like the throbs are pounding louder and louder!
