Mia Goth Accused of Kicking ‘MaXXXine’ Background Actor in the Head in New Lawsuit
variety.comGene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A background actor sued Mia Goth on Friday, alleging that she intentionally kicked him in the head during a scene last April.
James Hunter claims that he suffered a concussion after Goth kicked him during production on the A24 sequel “MaXXXine.” The film is the third in a trilogy of horror films directed by Ti West and starring Goth, following “X” and “Pearl,” both of which were released in 2022.
In the lawsuit, Hunter states that he was hired for three days of work to play the role of “Dead Parishioner.” On the first night of shooting, he lay on the ground for several hours covered in fake blood, “enduring ants and mosquitoes.” In the scene, Goth was to run past him, and sometimes step over him, look down and keep running.
