VarietyIn a recent report, it has been brought to the attention of the public that Mia Goth is being sued by a background actor from her upcoming film MaXXXine. The reports come from the accuser himself, who was on set playing his part in the film, when he allegedly was assaulted by the actress and also was verbally insulted by her later.
Thus, the actress is rumored to face the already filed legal lawsuit head-on this year with the release of the aforementioned film also happening this year. With her previous films in the trilogy making her a horror icon, this particular bit of controversy may hinder her and her career in the future if not dealt with appropriately.
A Background Actor Is Suing Mia Goth For Physical Assault On the Sets Of MaXXXine.
Turning out to be one of the upcoming actresses in the horror genre of films, Mia Goth has started to make a name for herself with her X horror trilogy. With two films already released in the series, titled X and Pearl, the actress is eyeing to solidify herself as a bonafide horror icon with her upcoming film MaXXXine.

But as it turns out, there might be a problem with her future plans as one of the background actors from her upcoming film in the trilogy has sued the actress for physical assault. Accuser James Hunter (via Variety), revealed that he was contracted to play the role of an extra in the film back in April last year, and his role was to play Dead Parishioner which Goth would stumble upon, look in horror, and step over him to run away.
Thus, while playing the role, he was almost accidentally stepped on by the Infinity Pool actress, which was why he raised this concern with the second assistant director, who then relayed it to Goth. But in the next take, Hunter revealed that she intentionally kicked him with her boot on the side of his head, which made him lightheaded and dizzy. After the shoot was over, he went to the bathroom to tidy up himself.
But just then, Goth entered the bathroom and taunted, mocked, and belittled him, as stated by the actor. She also insinuated that he should try doing something about it if he could, which are all the instances that were the reasons he was filing this lawsuit against her.
