One day in May 2023, stunt performer Devyn LaBella showed up to the Utah set of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2, the second part of the sprawling Western series from Kevin Costner, expecting to double for one of the film’s stars in some basic, fairly boring shots. Instead, she says, she was surprised by being subjected to an unscripted, brutal rape scene without proper notice, consent or the presence of a contractually mandated intimacy coordinator.
Now, LaBella is suing Costner and the film’s production companies for sexual discrimination, harassment and the creation of a hostile work environment. Moreover, the complaint alleges LaBella faced retaliation after she reported the incident by not being called back for subsequent work on the Horizon series and never being hired again by the film’s stunt coordinator, with whom she had worked previously
It includes both discrimination based on gender and sexual as in sexual acts. These things tend to go hand in hand by nature.
So if you fire your employee or whatever for having the nerve to complain about being sexually assaulted it is sexual discrimination. If you treat them unfairly based on gender it is also sexual discrimination.
Semantically you could probably get away with separation of the two concepts into gender discrimination and sexual discrimination now but legally they both fall under the same terminology.
TIL. I had only seen it used for discrimination based on sex (or gender). That’s why I was confused on how that played into this (and got pretty shit reaction for it for some reason, but Lemmy is Lemmy)
What’s the sexual discrimination here
On your rap sheet, I’m assuming
Haven’t been in a position to hire anyone tbh

Huh? I just thought sexual discrimination was stuff like not hiring women and stuff like that
