The stunt performer suing Kevin Costner over an alleged unscripted rape scene on a movie set is adding some new evidence to her lawsuit ... namely, text messages she claims she sent to the 'Horizon 2' intimacy coordinator after the alleged incident.
Devyn LaBella is suing Kevin for sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation and she recently amended her lawsuit to include some alleged text messages she sent regarding the scene.
In the amended complaint, obtained by TMZ, and first reported by Us Weekly, LaBella includes text messages she says she sent to the movie’s intimacy coordinator after the incident saying ...

Diddy Trial Defense Prepares Closing Argument ... Iran War, What?!?
It's the penultimate day of witness testimony in Diddy's criminal trial in New York ... and his defense is kicking the tires on some interesting strategies ... including invoking the Iran war.
Prosecutors and Diddy's defense team spent Monday questioning a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations ... the agency that started this whole Diddy sex trafficking case.
Nothing really new in terms of testimony but the most interesting stuff happened when there was no witness on the stand ... the defense told the judge it plans to rest its case Tuesday after prosecutors rest their case, without calling Diddy or any defense witnesses to testify.

Iran may be the key to Diddy's defense in his sex trafficking trial ... because we're told his defense may use the growing conflict in the Middle East as a way to take a shot at the federal case against him.
Our sources tell us Diddy's defense may invoke the recent conflict with Iran later this week in their closing argument.
We're told the possible defense goes like this ... this was a manufactured case of bedroom police instigated by Homeland Security Investigations and rather than worrying about what Diddy is doing with baby oil and lube, HSI should worry more about the escalating conflict with Iran.
Diddy I Don't Need To Testify ... Let's Wrap This Up!!!
Diddy is NOT going to take the stand and testify in his criminal trial ... because his defense team plans to rest their case Tuesday without calling any witnesses.
There was some question before the trial whether or not Diddy would testify -- his attorney Marc Agnifilo told us he didn't think he could keep Diddy off the stand -- and now we have our answer.
SEPTEMBER 2024
Frankly, the defense would be taking a huge risk in putting Diddy on the stand, where he'd be subject to cross-examination from some of the best prosecutors in the country ... but it looks like the defense feels they don't need to do a whole lot to counter the prosecution.

The Chucky doll from "Child's Play" is not scary enough to warrant a lawsuit from a woman who claims it gave her PTSD at work ... at least according to lawyers for the folks she's dragging to court.
Here's the deal ... Debra Jones sued Truist Bank, claiming her former manager placed a Chucky doll in her office chair last year, even though she says he knew she was afraid of dolls. She claimed the alleged incident ended up leading to a PTSD diagnosis.
Lawyers for Truist are firing back ... they want a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming the Chucky doll is way too vanilla and isn't "extreme and outrageous" enough to sue over.
Diddy Trial Highlights More Drugs and 'Freak-Offs' ... Verdict Next Week?!?
The Diddy trial is entering the home stretch because prosecutors are almost done with their case and the defense is now saying they only need one or two days to make their case ... and it sounds like we could get a verdict as early as next week.
Prosecutors called one of their final witnesses Friday and we heard more of the same ... this time from Brendan Paul, Diddy's former assistant, who said he is not a drug mule.
Paul testified about getting drugs sometimes for Diddy and setting up hotel rooms for freak-offs -- like other former Diddy helpers -- but he helped the defense by saying on cross-examination it didn't feel like 'Jane' was being coerced into participating in freak-offs.

The two originally said "I do" in 2017, but the marriage has been anything but smooth. Dara first filed for divorce in 2019, they reconciled, but Lilly followed up with not one -- but two -- more filings in 2020.
Luigi Mangione I'm No Terrorist!!!
Luigi Mangione's defense team says he's not a terrorist, as the feds would have you believe ... and they're telling it to the judge.
The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is facing a murder as an act of terrorism charge ... but Luigi's attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo is laying out a slew of reasons why they feel the terrorism charge is unwarranted.
In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Luigi's defense says prosecutors have failed to adequately make the case for the terrorism charge from their indictment ... arguing terroristic intent cannot be inferred from Thompson's murder.
