Key Takeaway
Mia Goth is facing a lawsuit from a background actor who alleges that she intentionally kicked him in the head during a scene, resulting in physical and emotional harm, as well as wrongful termination from the production.
Allegations of Battery and Wrongful Termination
The background actor claims that during a late-night shoot, he was required to wear a robe and be covered in fake blood while lying in the dirt for several hours. According to the lawsuit, Mia, portraying the character Maxine, was supposed to run past the actor, step over him, and continue running. However, the actor alleges that Mia “intentionally kicked” him in the head with her boot during a take, leading to serious pain and neck stiffness. He further asserts that he suffered a concussion as a result of the incident.
Furthermore, the actor alleges that he did not receive medical assistance on set and that Mia approached him in the bathroom afterward, reportedly taunting and belittling him. The lawsuit also claims that the removal of the blood-stained robe caused additional pain, and the actor experienced headaches and nearly passed out twice during his drive home.
Following the alleged incident, the actor states that he was removed from the production, leading him to file a lawsuit seeking at least $500,000 in damages for battery and wrongful termination, along with punitive damages. As of now, there has been no response from Mia’s team regarding the allegations.
