Mia Goth has been sued by a background actor, who accused her of intentionally kicking him in the head during a scene for Maxxxine.
Director Ti West and A24 were also named in the complaint, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, over the alleged injury the actor suffered during the shooting of the last installment of the horror trilogy, which also includes X and Pearl.
In the scene, Hunter was told to lay down in the dirt and play dead.
“Goth was to run past plaintiff on the ground; and, in some instances, step over him, look down at him, and continue to run,” the complaint states.
Instead, Goth purposely kicked Hunter in his head with her boot. When he notified the second assistant director that he had a headache and stiffness in the neck, no medical assistance was offered as West ordered filming to continue, the suit says.
The next day, Hunter alleges he was taken off the production for the remaining two days of filming, with no justification. He says he sustained a concussion from the alleged incident.
The complaint claims battery against Goth, as well as wrongful termination against A24 and West. Hunter seeks at least $250,000, plus punitive damages.
