In a recent turn of events, Mia Goth, the star of the horror film MaXXXine, has been accused of assaulting a background actor during filming. James Hunter, the accuser, has come forward with new details about the alleged incident, claiming that Goth not only attacked him but also told him that no one would believe his story.
Background of the Incident
James Hunter, who works as a background actor in Los Angeles, filed a complaint against Mia Goth, accusing her of physically and verbally abusing him on the set of MaXXXine. The news first broke when TMZ reported on the lawsuit, which has since gained significant attention.
Hunter’s Claims of Abuse
In a detailed interview with Dread Central, Hunter revealed more about the alleged abuse. He claims that Goth followed him to a porta-potty on set, forced the door open, and berated him. According to Hunter, when he apologized for not locking the door, Goth said, “Nobody will believe you because you’re nothing.” She allegedly continued by telling him to “Get off my set, you big baby,” implying that no one would believe his account of events.
The Alleged Physical Assault
Hunter described a specific incident where he was lying on the ground for a scene. He mentioned to the second assistant director that Goth almost stepped on him. During the next take, Hunter claims that Goth intentionally kicked him in the head, causing a concussion. He says that she then mocked and belittled him when he went to the restroom to recover.
Legal Response and Denial
In court documents, Mia Goth, director Ti West, and the production company A24 have all denied Hunter’s accusations. Hunter also stated in his lawsuit that he experienced dizziness on his way home from work and had to pull over twice. Following this, he was informed that he would not be needed for the final two days of shooting. The lawsuit accuses Goth of battery and the others of unfairly firing Hunter.
