Mia Goth Kicked An Extra In Head Before Having Him Fired, Lawsuit Claims
HuffPost
In court filings, background actor James Hunter claims Goth intentionally aimed her boot at his head after she was warned to "be careful" during a scene.
Mia Goth is being sued by a background actor who says she purposefully kicked him in the head while shooting the horror film, “MaXXXine,” last spring.
James Hunter has accused Goth of battery and wrongful termination in court filings, which detail how she allegedly left him with a concussion and subsequently had him dismissed from his role. Film studio A24 and “MaXXXine” director Ti West are also listed as defendants in the suit.
In court documents obtained by Deadline, Hunter claims he was intentionally injured while playing the part of a “Dead Parishioner,” which required him to lay on the ground covered in fake blood without the protection of a prop pad.
During the scene, Goth was supposed to step over the background actor’s body and run away.
When she nearly stepped on him during one take, Hunter claims he alerted the second assistant director, only to see Goth retaliate.
