Mia Goth kicked an extra in the head before firing him, lawsuit claims

Mia Goth is being sued by a supporting actor who claims she intentionally kicked him in the head while filming the horror movie “MaXXXine” last spring.

James Hunter charged Goth with assault and wrongful termination in court documents that say she allegedly gave him a concussion and then fired him from his job. Film studio A24 and “MaXXXine” director Ti West are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.

In court documents obtained by Deadline, Hunter claims that he was intentionally injured while playing the role of Dead Parishioner, which required him to lie on the ground covered in fake blood without the protection of a prop.

In the scene, Goth was supposed to jump over the actor’s body and escape.

Hunter claims that when she almost stepped on him during one take, he alerted the second assistant director, who saw Goth retaliate.

Mia Goth attends the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March 2023. She is accused of injuring and intimidating a supporting actor during the filming of “MaXXXine” last April.

Although Goth was warned “to watch her step,” the lawsuit claims that during the next take, the “Pearl” actress intentionally kicked the extra in the head with her shoe.

Hunter claims in the filing that Goth later confronted him in the bathroom, where she allegedly “taunted, ridiculed and belittled” the supporting actor before challenging him “to do anything” about what happened.

In the lawsuit, Hunter claims he was not offered any medical attention and continued filming until the scene was cleared.

The next day, the casting agency informed him that he would not return to the set, even though he had been hired for three days of filming.

After 48 hours of experiencing “head injury symptoms” such as “memory loss, disorientation and disorientation,” Hunter went to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion, the lawsuit says.

A representative for Goth did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

Hunter is seeking $250,000 to cover medical costs, rehabilitation and “related expenses,” as well as “punitive and/or exemplary damages.”
