James hunter mia goth lawsuit

On 12 January 2024, it was reported that actor Mia Goth, along with director Ti West and production company A24, were named in a lawsuit filed by background actor James Hunter. The legal action stems from an incident occurring during the production of the horror film "MaXXXine." Hunter alleges that Goth intentionally kicked him in the head while filming a scene, resulting in a concussion and significant medical distress. According to the court documents, Hunter claims he was instructed to lie in the dirt for hours while Goth ran past him, eventually leading to the alleged physical assault. The lawsuit further asserts that after the incident, Goth allegedly mocked Hunter in a private area, exacerbating the situation. Hunter’s legal team argues that the production failed to provide adequate safety protocols, leading to the injury and subsequent wrongful termination of his contract. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding workplace safety and professional conduct on film sets, with the defendants facing allegations of battery and negligence as the legal proceedings continue to unfold.
