The list of celebrity scandals for 2024 took an unexpected turn as 30-year-old \u201cPearl and MaXXXine\u201d star Mia Goth faced a lawsuit, along with A24 and director Ti West. The lawsuit, filed on January 12, 2024, reveals distressing details about the alleged mistreatment of a performer named James Hunter during the filming of \u201cMaXXXine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hunter, who played the role of \u201cDead Parishioner,\u201d described his duties as lying on the ground covered in fake blood while Mia Goth stepped over him for three nights of shooting. On the first night, Hunter claims he complained to the film\u2019s second A.D. about Goth\u2019s boot being dangerously close to his head, but his complaint allegedly resulted in Goth kicking him in the head on the next take.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit further alleges that, following the incident, Goth followed Hunter into the bathroom, mocking and making fun of him for thinking he could take any action. Hunter claims he was lightheaded due to the kick, needing to pull over twice on his way home, and he was informed by his agency that he would no longer be required for the next two nights of shooting.<\/p>\n
In response, Hunter filed a lawsuit against Goth, West, and Ti West, citing wrongful termination and battery against Goth. These shocking allegations shed light on the challenges faced by behind-the-scenes workers in the film industry and raise questions about the treatment of performers.<\/p>\n
Mia Goth, previously considered a rising star, now faces legal challenges that could impact her career. Despite the controversy, she is expected to appear in upcoming projects, including Guillermo del Toro\u2019s adaptation of Frankenstein and Marvel\u2019s Blade reboot. The outcome of the lawsuit remains uncertain, and its repercussions could have a lasting impact on the industry\u2019s standards for workplace behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
