Hollywood actress Mia Goth is facing allegations of deliberately assaulting an extra on set, as a male extra has requested the court to order Goth to testify in the lawsuit brought against her.

According to a report by Us Weekly on the 12th (local time), extra James Hunter submitted documents to the court on the 6th, requesting confirmation of dates when Goth would be available to testify as part of the legal proceedings.

The filing emphasized, “Ms. Goth’s testimony is expected to be extremely important,” and noted that, “the defendants’ lack of response and Ms. Goth’s continued failure to appear for testimony have resulted in an unfair situation. The court can correct this by ordering Ms. Goth to proceed with her testimony first.”

Additionally, Hunter requested that any future deposition be conducted remotely, citing severe health issues—including migraines, panic attacks, and serious anxiety—following his initial testimony.

This legal dispute between Hunter and Goth began in earnest in January 2024, when Hunter filed the lawsuit. According to his complaint, Hunter served as an extra in the film ‘MaXXXine’, portraying a “dead congregation member.” During filming, he was lying on the ground covered in fake blood.

Hunter claims that, in this state, Mia Goth nearly stepped on his head—a potential danger he reported to the assistant director as well as to Goth herself. Despite these warnings, the suit alleges that Goth “intentionally kicked the side of Hunter’s head with her boot,” causing shock among many.

Hunter further asserts that Goth humiliated and mocked him in the set’s bathroom, allegedly provoking him by saying things akin to, “Try and do something about it.” The complaint reads, “Goth’s actions were outrageous and intended to inflict injury and severe emotional distress upon Hunter, and in fact did so.”

Hunter is seeking over $500,000 in damages for alleged assault and wrongful termination. Goth and the other defendants have denied all claims. In particular, Goth’s legal team contends that Hunter had consented to and approved all actions now being challenged, and that any injuries suffered were either self-inflicted or due to Hunter’s own actions or those of a third party. The defense has requested full dismissal of Hunter’s claims and for the involved parties to bear any associated legal costs.
