Mia Goth Sued for Allegedly Kicking Background Actor in Head during Horror Film Scene

Los Angeles, CA – A background actor has filed a lawsuit against actress Mia Goth, alleging that she deliberately kicked him in the head during a scene on the set of the A24 sequel “MaXXXine.” James Hunter claims that as a result of the incident, he suffered a concussion. The film is part of a horror trilogy directed by Ti West and starring Goth, following the releases of “X” and “Pearl” in 2022.

According to Hunter’s lawsuit, he was hired to play the role of “Dead Parishioner” for three days of work. On the first night of shooting, he spent several hours lying on the ground covered in fake blood, enduring the presence of ants and mosquitoes. During the scene, Goth was supposed to run past him, occasionally stepping over him, and then continue running.

The lawsuit states that on the fourth take, Goth came close to stepping on Hunter. He expressed his concerns to the second assistant director, who then relayed the message to Goth. However, on the next take, Goth allegedly kicked him in the head with her boot deliberately. After the scene was completed, Hunter claims that Goth entered the bathroom where he was and proceeded to taunt and belittle him, daring him to take action.

Hunter experienced pain in his head, and removing the dried fake blood from his robe caused him further discomfort. On the drive home, he felt lightheaded and had to pull over twice. The next day, he was informed by the casting agency that the production did not want him to return for the remaining two days.

The lawsuit accuses Goth of battery and also includes a wrongful termination claim against A24, Goth, and West.

In conclusion, James Hunter has filed a lawsuit against actress Mia Goth, alleging that she intentionally kicked him in the head during a scene for the film “MaXXXine.” Hunter claims to have suffered a concussion and experienced mistreatment from Goth afterward. The lawsuit includes a battery accusation against Goth and a wrongful termination claim against A24, Goth, and director Ti West.
