Mia Goth is currently being sued by an actor named James Hunter after claiming that the actress intentionally kicked him in the head and suffered a concussion during the filming of Ti West's last chapter of his trilogy.
According to the Variety, Hunter states that he was hired to play the role of a dead parishioner for three days, and during the first night of the shooting he had to lay on the ground for hours covered in fake blood while "enduring ants and mosquitoes."
Mia Goth reportedly kicked James Hunter while filming
During one of the scenes where Hunter mildly interacts with Goth, her character was supposed to run through a pile of bodies that were laid on the floor, Hunter being one of them. According to the director's instructions, the main character was supposed to over Hunter and look at him then continue running.
It turns out that during one of the takes she almost stepped on him, and he complained to production about it, then they relayed the message to Goth. Hunter claims that after he spoke out, the actress ran towards him and kicked him in the head.
After the incident, Hunter claims that Goth met with him in the bathroom and "taunted, mocked and belittled" him while daring to do anything about it.
Hunter later elaborated that after the kick in the head, he was driving home and felt lightheaded and had to take a few breaks from driving. The next day he showed up to work and the hiring agency told him he was not required to show up for the next two days of shooting and was fired.
According to the suit, Goth is accused of battery while also including a wrongful termination claim against A24.
