Hollywood acting icon sued over unscripted rape scene by stunt performer

A stunt performer is suing Kevin Costner and the production company for “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2″ for sexual discrimination, harassment and the creation of a hostile work environment.

“On that day, I was left exposed, unprotected, and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism,” Devyn LaBella said in a statement to “The Hollywood Reporter.” “What happened to me shattered my trust and forever changed how I move through this industry.”

According to “The Hollywood Reporter,” LaBella showed up to set to double for one of the movie’s stars in some “basic, fairly boring shots.”

Instead, she said, she was “subjected to an unscripted, brutal rape scene without proper notice, consent or the presence of a contractually-mandated intimacy coordinator.”

The complaint, per the report, alleges LaBella faced retaliation after she reported the incident by not being called back for subsequent work and never being hired again by the film’s stunt coordinator.

Costner’s attorney Marty Singer said, per the report, the lawsuit has “absolutely no merit” and is “completely contradicted by (LaBella’s) own actions — and the facts.”

In the same statement, Singer said Costner “always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously.”

Update: Look for damaging winds and quarter-sized hail with thunderstorms in Washington County Tuesday

An updated severe thunderstorm warning was released by the National Weather Service on Tuesday at 6:36 p.m. in effect until 7:15 p.m. for Washington County.

The storms could bring wind gusts of up to 60 mph and quarter-sized hail (1 inch).

“At 6:36 p.m., a severe thunderstorm was located 5 miles southwest of Millry, or 12 miles northwest of Chatom, moving east at 20 mph,” states the weather service. “Hail damage to vehicles is expected. Expect wind damage to roofs, siding, and trees.”

The warning is for Millry.

The weather service adds, “For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building.”

Staying safe as lightning approaches: Expert advice

Each year, lightning strikes the United States approximately 25 million times, with the majority of these electrifying events occurring during the summer months. Unfortunately, lightning is responsible for claiming the lives of approximately 20 people annually, as reported by the weather service. The threat of lightning becomes more pronounced as thunderstorms draw nearer, peaking when the storm is directly overhead and gradually waning as it moves away.

To guarantee your safety in the midst of a thunderstorm, take into account the following recommendations:

Lightning safety plan:

• When venturing outdoors, it’s crucial to have a lightning safety plan in place.
• Monitor the sky for threatening signs and listen for the sound of thunder. If thunder is audible, it’s an indication that lightning is nearby.
• Seek shelter promptly in a safe location, preferably indoors.

Indoors safety measures:

• Once you’re indoors, avoid using corded phones, electrical devices, plumbing fixtures, and stay away from windows and doors.
• These precautions help reduce the risk of electrical surges, as lightning can follow conductive pathways.

Wait for the all-clear:

• After the last lightning strike or thunderclap, wait at least 30 minutes before resuming outdoor activities.
• It’s important to remember that lightning can strike even when a storm seems to have passed, so exercise caution.

When indoor shelter isn’t available:

If you find yourself outdoors with no access to indoor shelter during a thunderstorm, take these steps to maximize your safety:

• Avoid open fields, hilltops, or ridge crests, as they expose you to greater lightning risk.
• Steer clear of tall, isolated trees and other prominent objects. In wooded areas, stay close to lower stands of trees.
• If you’re with a group, ensure individuals are spread out to prevent lightning current from transferring between people.
• Camping in an open setting during a thunderstorm is strongly discouraged. If you have no alternative, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low-lying areas. It’s crucial to note that a tent provides no protection against lightning.
• Do not approach water bodies, wet objects, or metal items. While water and metal don’t attract lightning, they conduct electricity effectively and can pose significant risks.

In summary, when facing the threat of lightning, preparedness and vigilance are your best allies. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of lightning-related incidents and prioritize your safety.

Rainy roadways ahead: Essential safety tips for heavy rain

When heavy rain strikes, safety is paramount. Equip yourself with these guidelines from the weather service to navigate wet roads and avoid hazards:

Beware of swollen waterways:

Avoid parking or walking in close proximity to culverts or drainage ditches, as the swiftly moving water during heavy rain can potentially carry you away.

Maintain safe driving distances:

Use the two-second rule to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and allow an extra two seconds in heavy rain.

Reduce speed and drive cautiously:

On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.

Choose your lane wisely:

Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Visibility matters:

Turn on your headlights and be careful of other vehicles to the rear and in blind spot areas as they are especially difficult to see through rain-spattered windows.

Watch out for slippery roads:

Be extra careful during the first half hour after rain begins. Grime and oil on the road surface mix with water to make the road slippery.

Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:

Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.

Mind your windshield wipers:

Heavy rain can overload the wiper blades. When visibility is so limited that the edges of the road or other vehicles cannot be seen at a safe distance, it is time to pull over and wait for the rain to ease up. It is best to stop at rest areas or other protected areas.

If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.

By following these safety measures, you can significantly reduce risks and ensure your well-being when heavy rain pours down. Stay informed about weather conditions and heed advice from local authorities to make your journey safe and sound.

bet365 bonus code ALBET365: Bet $5 on Knicks vs. Pacers, get $150 in bonus bets

The New York Knicks temporarily saved their season with their victory in Game 3 to get on the board in the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, they’ll look to even the series in Game 4. To add to the excitement, new users can use the bet365 bonus code ALBET365 to claim $150 in bonus bets after placing their first $5 wager.

Bet365 bonus code ALBET365 at a glance

How to claim the bet365 bonus code ALBET365

Almost every sportsbook has a welcome bonus for newcomers, but it’s rare to come across one that lets you pick from two different sign-up deals.

The bet365 bonus code ALBET365 breaks all the rules by allowing new members to select their sign-up bonus to match their preferences. When joining, users can select from two unique offers:

• Bet $5, Get $150 in bonus bets: Create your account and deposit at least $10 through any of the available payment options. Then, place your first bet of at least $5 on any market with minimum odds of -5000 or higher. Once this first bet is settled, you’ll receive $150 in bonus bets within an hour of the wager being graded. Bonus bets are awarded even if you lose your first bet. Make sure your wager settles within 30 days, so steer clear of long-term futures. The bonus bets must be used within seven days of being awarded, or they’ll expire.
• $1000 First Bet Safety Net: Sign up, deposit at least $10, and place your first wager on any market. If your initial bet loses, Bet365 will refund your stake as a bonus bet up to $1000. If your first bet wins, you simply keep your winnings and the offer ends there.

To claim either of the offers, just follow these simple steps:

1. Tap any link or banner on this page to get redirected to the Bet365 registration page.
2. By using our links, the bet365 bonus code ALBET365 will fill automatically.
3. Fill in all necessary sign-up information to verify your identity and set up your account.
4. Deposit at least $10 using any of the available payment options.
5. Place your first bet, making sure to stay aware of the terms and conditions of the promotion you’re using.

After completing these steps, any bonus bets earned will appear in your account within one hour. All bonus bets must be used within seven days of being issued or they will expire.

Bet365 existing user promos

The bet365 bonus code ALBET365 allows new users the choice between multiple sign-up offers. However, the fun doesn’t end there. There are numerous promotions available on a daily basis to help existing users at bet365. Here are some of those promotions:

• Early Payouts: If the team you bet on builds a specific lead during the game, Bet365 will declare your bet a winner no matter how the game ends. For the NBA, that lead is 20 points. In the NHL, it’s a 3-goal advantage, and for MLB, your team must be ahead by 5 runs.
• Parlay boosts: Boost your potential winnings with an increasing parlay boost multiplier that grows as you add more legs to your parlay. The greater the number of selections in your parlay, the bigger your profit boost will be.

How to use the bet365 bonus code ALBET365 on Knicks-Pacers

The Knicks went on the road and took care of business in Game 3, and they’ll look to do the same in Game 4 in order to make up for dropping the first two games of the series at Madison Square Garden.

Indiana is just a 2.5-point favorite on their home court, suggesting another matchup that should come down to the final few moments. While it’ll be hard to match the madness that was provided in the series opener, these teams will certainly try.

With the latest bet365 promotion, you don’t need to win your first bet in order to claim the bonus bets. This allows us to hunt for plus-money props and try and win big with our first $5 wager. Here are some plus-money wagers I’m looking towards at bet365:

• Knicks moneyline (+120)
• Karl-Anthony Towns 30+ points (+400)
• Josh Hart 7+ assists (+350)

By backing the Knicks, we’re backing the trend of road teams winning in this series to continue. The other two stats by Towns and Hart have already been accomplished by the player in this series, so we certainly know it’s possible.

Sankey: SEC ‘Not committing’ to protect Alabama-Tennessee, Auburn Georgia, other rivalries

With the SEC seemingly unwilling to commit to adding a ninth conference football game until it has clarity about upcoming changes to the College Football Playoff, doomsday might be arriving soon for some of the league’s most storied rivalries. Among them: Alabama and Tennessee’s Third Saturday in October game.

Speaking to reporters at SEC spring meetings on Tuesday, league commissioner Greg Sankey was asked whether the league could protect two rivalries per team.

“I’m not committing to that,” Sankey said. “But we’re attentive to real key rivalries and have models that can accommodate those that have been shared and will continue to be shared.”

The SEC is locked into its current format for the 2025 season. The league’s teams will play their same opponents from 2024, with Alabama seeing Tennessee on the schedule.

Sankey said that the league has discussed models that would keep key rivalries in an eight-game format before.

“We’ve been protected in these two years,” Sankey said, of the seasons following Texas and Oklahoma joining the league. “So the conversation about annual games that need to be played has been a focus since August of 21 when we had our first gathering of athletics directors and talked about what the schedule might look like. We have a renewal of a rivalry (Texas- Texas A&M) as well. So it’s not only those that have always been played.”

Most publicly known long-term models for an eight-game schedule would see schools keep one yearly game on their schedules. For Alabama, that will likely be the Iron Bowl against Auburn.

The Crimson Tide’s long-standing games with Tennessee, along with LSU, could be left with more sporadic meetings. It’s a possibility that UA athletics director Greg Byrne also acknowledged on Tuesday.

“The rivalries mean a lot to all of the institutions involved,” Byrne said. “The Iron Bowl, Third Saturday in October, those are times that all the fan bases identify with at the institutions. And (in) reality, when we went to as many teams as we have now in the SEC, one of those would probably suffer if we have to stay to eight.”

Alabama and Tennessee wouldn’t be the only game on the chopping block. Tennessee’s rivalry with Florida might not make it, alongside Auburn and Georgia’s yearly game and more.

Under a nine-game format, teams could have three yearly opponents.

“If you go to nine, you might have some more flexibility with what that looks like,” Byrne said “But I wouldn’t like to see (the Tennessee rivalry go away). But I also realize that things are going to evolve and change. It would be a sad time if that were to happen, but also, you have to deal with reality.”

Comedy legend’s 1980 hit was shot on ‘the most coked-up film set’ ever, studio chief says

Barry Diller’s book tour for his recently published memoir “Who Knew” hit New York City’s 92Y, where moderator Anderson Cooper asked Diller during a Q&A to reveal “the most coked-up film set” he ever visited during his tenure as the CEO of Paramount Pictures.

The former studio executive had the answer almost immediately: Robert Altman’s “Popeye” (1980).

“Coked-up film set? Oh, ‘Popeye,’” Diller answered (via Entertainment Weekly). “By the way, you can watch it. If you watch ‘Popeye,’ you’re watching a movie that — you think of it in the thing that they used to do about record speeds, 33 [RPM], whatever. This is a movie that runs at 78 RPM and 33 speed.”

Diller served as the head of Paramount Pictures from 1974 until 1984.

His illustrious tenure at the studio included the releases of hit movies such as “Saturday Night Fever,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Grease” and “Beverly Hills Cop,” among other classics. But it’s Altman’s “Popeye” that earns the distinction of having the most “coked-up film set.”

“You couldn’t escape it,” Diller said about the drug use on the movie’s set.

“They were actually shipping in film cans at the time. Film cans would be sent back to L.A. for daily processing film. This was shot in Malta. And we found out that the film cans were actually being used to ship cocaine back and forth to this set. Everyone was stoned.”

Robin Williams starred as the title character in “Popeye,” which marked the comedian’s first big-screen acting role after making a name for himself on hit television series “Happy Days” and its spinoff “Mork & Mindy.”

The film co-starred Altman regular Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl. The movie was a box office success with $60 million worldwide (unadjusted for inflation), nearly double its production budget. Reviews, however, were mixed.

Variety wrote in its original “Popeye” review: “It is more than faint praise to say that ‘Popeye’ is far, far better than it might have been, considering the treacherous challenge it presented. But avoiding disaster is not necessarily the same as success. To the eye, Robin Williams is terrifically transposed into the squinting sailor with the bulging arms. But to the ear, his mutterings are not always comprehensible.”

Flash flood warning affecting North Alabama until Tuesday night caused by thunderstorms

On Tuesday at 6:14 p.m. a flash flood warning was released by the National Weather Service in effect until 9:15 p.m. for Lawrence, Limestone, Madison and Morgan counties.

“At 6:14 p.m., Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area. Between 1 and 2 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly,” says the weather service. “Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas.”

Locations impacted by the warning include Huntsville, Decatur, Madison, Athens, Hartselle, Redstone Arsenal, Priceville, Trinity, Triana, Tanner, Huntsville International Airport, Marshall Space Flight Center, Harvest, University Of Alabama In Huntsville, Mooresville, Belle Mina, Basham, Neel, French Mill and Caddo.

The weather service states, “Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.”

Understanding the differences between advisories, watches, and warnings

• Flash flood warning: Take action!

A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is either imminent or already occurring. In flood-prone areas, it’s crucial to move immediately to higher ground. A flash flood is a sudden and violent inundation that can develop within minutes to hours, and it can even happen in areas not currently experiencing rainfall.

• Flood warning: Take action!

A flood warning is declared when flooding is on the verge of happening or is already underway.

• Flood advisory: Be aware:

A flood advisory is issued when flooding is not expected to be bad enough to issue a warning. However, it may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised, it could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property.

• Flood watch: Be prepared:

A flood watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It does not mean flooding will occur, but it is possible.

When floods strike: Guidelines from the weather service for your protection

In flood-prone regions or while camping in low-lying areas, understanding and following the weather service flood safety guidelines can be a lifesaver:

Move to higher ground:

If you’re in a flood-prone area, or if you’re camping in a low-lying spot, move to higher ground as a first step.

Adhere to evacuation orders:

When local authorities issue an evacuation order, promptly comply. Before leaving, secure your home by locking it.

Disconnect utilities and appliances:

If time permits, disconnect your utilities and appliances. This precaution minimizes electrical hazards during flooding.

Steer clear of flooded basements and submerged areas:

Steer clear of basements or rooms where water has submerged electrical outlets or cords. This helps prevent electrical accidents.

Evacuate promptly for safety:

If you notice sparks or hear buzzing, crackling, snapping, or popping sounds, evacuate without delay. Do not enter water that may carry an electrical charge.

Stay away from floodwaters:

Never attempt to walk through floodwaters. Even just 6 inches of swiftly moving water can forcefully knock you off your feet.

Seek higher ground when trapped:

In the event you become trapped by moving water, make your way to the highest point available and contact emergency services by calling 911.

During periods of heavy rainfall, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas, the risk of flooding escalates. Remember this crucial advice: never attempt to drive through water on the road, even if it appears shallow. According to the weather service, as little as 12 inches of rapidly flowing water can carry away most vehicles. Stay safe by being prepared and informed.

Mastering wet roads: Safety tips for heavy rainfall

When heavy rain strikes, safety is paramount. Equip yourself with these guidelines from the weather service to navigate wet roads and avoid hazards:

Beware of swollen waterways:

Avoid parking or walking in close proximity to culverts or drainage ditches, as the swiftly moving water during heavy rain can potentially carry you away.

Maintain safe driving distances:

The two-second rule for following distance is your ally in heavy rain. Extend it to four seconds to ensure safe spacing in adverse conditions.

Reduce speed and drive cautiously:

On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.

Choose your lane wisely:

Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Visibility matters:

Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by turning on your headlights. Watch out for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.

Watch out for slippery roads:

Be extra careful during the first half hour after rain begins. Grime and oil on the road surface mix with water to make the road slippery.

Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:

Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.

• Heavy rain can overload the wiper blades. When visibility is so limited that the edges of the road or other vehicles cannot be seen at a safe distance, it is time to pull over and wait for the rain to ease up. It is best to stop at rest areas or other protected areas.

Alabama Democrats to wage legal battle over Tuberville’s residency in governor’s race

Alabama Democratic Party Chairman Randy Kelley said the party will challenge Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for governor based on the residency requirement in the state constitution.

Kelley issued a statement Tuesday after Tuberville announced he would run for governor next year.

“Today, Tommy Tuberville finally revealed the open secret that he is planning to run for governor of Alabama despite not living here,” Kelley said. “His primary residence is in Florida.”

Section 117 of the Alabama Constitution says the governor must be a resident of the state “at least seven years next before the date of their election.”

Tuberville moved to Florida after he retired from coaching in 2016.

The senator claims a homestead exemption in Auburn and has been registered to vote in Alabama since March 2019.

He also owns homes in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., and voted in Florida in 2018.

The house in Auburn that Tuberville claims as a homestead was originally bought by his wife, Suzanne and his son, Tucker, in 2017, al.com reported.

That home is valued at $271,000, while Tuberville’s beach house in Florida is valued at about $5 million, al.com reported.

Kelley said the claim that the Auburn house is Tuberville’s residence will not hold up to scrutiny.

“Claiming his son’s house as a homestead exemption while all travel receipts, voting, and living take place in Florida simply doesn’t cut it. We intend to challenge his residency in the Courts, “ Kelley said.

“If residency is no longer a requirement to run for office in the state of Alabama, that opens the doors for Democrats as well,” Kelley said.

When Tuberville ran for the Senate in 2020, former Sen. Jeff Sessions, his primary runoff opponent, raised the residency issue, calling Tuberville a “Florida man.”

But the Senate has no seven-year residency requirement and Sessions’ claims did not hurt Tuberville, who won the primary decisively.

In March this year, Tuberville dismissed concerns about the residency requirement after state Sen. Sam Givhan, R-Huntsville, brought it up during a radio interview.

“Well, I’ve been a United States Senator representing the state of Alabama for the last four years, with two more years remaining,” Tuberville said.

“There’s no problem with that. We looked at that six, seven years ago. It’s just people that are probably, maybe, wanting to run for governor. Hey, if you want to run, go run on your abilities. Don’t try to trick somebody else. There’s nothing to that.”

Kelley said the Democratic Party will not drop the issue.

“Tuberville is an incompetent Senator who embarrassed the state of Alabama via his withholding of military promotions for nearly 10 months,” Kelley said.

“He will be well aligned with the Trump administration who openly flouts the laws and Constitution daily. We will not simply sit back and allow that to happen.”

“Tuberville will do nothing to further the interests of Alabama voters, simply himself and Trump’s ego,” Kelley said.

Dear Abby: My ring is the same as my husband’s ex-fiancée

DEAR ABBY: My husband asked me to go into his email inbox and settle an issue with an airline. An email popped up: “Your memories from eight years ago” from a popular photo website. We have been together eight years, and I thought I would see photos of us. They weren’t. It was photos of him with his ex-fiancée, including his elaborate proposal. The proposal was something out of a dream. (He proposed to me on our family room couch.) I also realized her ring is exactly like mine.

I’m so hurt. He has never been that romantic with me or put much thought into my gifts. Actually, one year he gave me bed sheets for Christmas, which I never requested. Meanwhile, I’m the one who puts effort into his family’s cards and gifts and helps them with celebrations.

My birthday was this month — I’m eight months pregnant and I had to pick out and buy my own birthday gift because he said he didn’t know what to get me. When I let him know how hurt I feel about everything, he just said, “Let me just go back in time,” and walked away. I feel hurt, stuck and unloved. Am I overreacting? — CRUSHED IN NEW JERSEY

DEAR CRUSHED: I understand your disappointment, but my advice is to revisit this subject after your child is born and you have had more time to think about it. I don’t know what happened with your husband’s prior relationship, but if it had been terrific, it would have lasted.

Not all men are good at planning proposals or choosing cards and gifts, but often they make up for it in other ways. Bide your time.

Deshler star Reece Davis commits to new Southeastern Conference program

One of the state’s top playmakers has picked a new Southeastern Conference program.

Deshler girls basketball star Reece Davis has committed to Ole Miss, she announced on social media Tuesday afternoon.

Previously committed to Auburn, she took a visit to Oxford, Mississippi, in April; Davis also picked up an offer from Texas Tech this week.

Ole Miss finished 22-11 last season and 10-6 in SEC play, advancing to the third round of the NCAA tournament before falling to eventual Final Four team UCLA.

“They’re like a family,” she told AL.com in April of her visit to Ole Miss. “I can tell that the whole community kind of loves them, and especially the coach went to eat with her for lunch, and they were all chanting her name and waving at her. I can tell it’s real, a small community and feeling like home.”

Last season saw Davis pick up first team all-state honors for Deshler, which finished 30-5 and advanced to the Northwest Regional championship game.

She averaged 23.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game for the Tigers, shooting 52% from the field and an impressive 108-for-256 (42.1%) from beyond the arc.

Davis will head into her junior season with 1,848 career points after scoring 30 points or more in nine games last season.
