No Way Out of Sex Scandal for Costner
Apr 26, 2006, 2:15 PM PT

Rumor has it Kevin Costner is a bit of an exhibitionist.

The Upside of Anger star is on the downside of a sex scandal after it was disclosed that he was the man who allegedly exposed himself to a female masseuse and performed a sex act while he and his wife were honeymooning at a posh Scottish hotel in October 2004.

Costner, 51, was named in a complaint brought by an unidentified 34-year-old woman against the five-star Old Course Hotel in St. Andrews, per British media reports. The woman alleges sexual discrimination and wrongful termination, claiming management ignored her complaints about Costner's purported misbehavior.

Per the woman's court testimony, Costner grabbed the spa worker while she was giving him a massage, then dropped his towel and masturbated.

"It was disgusting and, even though he was a Hollywood superstar, I couldn't believe he thought he could get away with something like that," the woman said in testimony that month at a British employment hearing in Dundee. "Kevin Costner abused me and I considered that a criminal act. When I was giving his wife a massage afterwards, I wanted to tell her everything."

Instead, she went to court, suing the hotel for not taking her allegations seriously and then supposedly firing her without justification last August.

The British tribunal initially put a gag order on the case, refusing to divulge the identity of alleged happy ender. But Costner's name surfaced after the employee reached an undisclosed settlement with hotel management Tuesday and her lawyers successfully persuaded the tribunal's chairman, Nicol Hosie, to lift the ban after Costner's identity was revealed in the National Enquirer and the Sunday Times Australia, among other tabloids.

"It is very significant that his name is widely reported in the world's press. It is already a matter which is in the public domain," Britain's Herald newspaper quoted Hosie as saying.

The panel was not required to judge whether the woman's allegations were true nor, said Hosie, was the idea of protecting Costner's reputation just reason for withholding his name.

When the first reports surfaced tying Costner to the case, his publicist, Paul Bloch, issued a statement saying: "We find it unfortunate that Mr. Costner's name has been brought into what is essentially a dispute between a company owned by a good friend of his and a former employee--and that is would tarnish what was a wonderful time spent at this resort with his wife.

"This was never about Kevin Costner," Bloch continued. " It was a dispute between the hotel and an ex-employee."

Costner and his second wife, Christine Baumgartner, spent their honeymoon at the Old Court Hotel, which is owned by his friend, American businessman, Herb Kohler. The resort's management refused to comment on the case.

"The parties have settled this matter," the hotel said. "The terms are confidential and undisclosed."

Costner's been making headlines on both sides of the pond in recent weeks.

In a case Stateside, a hairdresser who was hired to primp guests at the couple's September 2004 wedding pleaded guilty to swiping a laptop computer from the actor's Aspen-area home. The stylist paid $1,500 in restitution, was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation and 25 hours of community service.

Costner will next be seen on the big screen playing a veteran Coast Guard rescue swimmer training a bunch of newbies, including Ashton Kutcher, in The Guardian, due out in September.

Wasn't he in "Field of Dreams"?

Was it "...if you build it, they will come" or "...if you beat it, you will c*m"?

oblongmelon · 04-27-2006, 08:06 AM

yeh..I read this before..*shakes head*..man, Costner went down a very big hill from his Dances with Wolves days...what a shame.

Deleted scene from Waterworld:
Costner: "I've got the map to dry land tattooed on my balls...would you like to see?"

Ha wow. People are quick to jump on other people around here. I mean who is to say he even really did it? He didn't pay out a settlement, the company did for "wrongful termination" The only "evidence" here is " He did this and they fired me. " Boo hooo.

Heh...

I guess it's his word versus hers... since she didn't get any "DNA evidence".

If the squirt is not on the skirt, the case must not be worth dirt.

Wait... The resort is owned by a sitting US Senator and founder of Kohl's dept. stores? This story has everything! Politics, money, celebrity, and sex (even if it is of the self-love type)!

Oh wait. I am stupid. It's Kohler, not Kohl. Stupid Shawn, stupid.

Kohler, as in the bathroom fixtures (read mostly toilets) family.

The title of that article is well done.

Am I the only one that thinks that if this woman was so discusted and traumatized by what she claims Costner did, that it is extremely odd and unusual that she would stick around to rub up on his wife too? Wouldnt most people who felt so violated leave immediately? I would...

well, i guess if you've been in that situation you might realize it's not that easy to just walk out on your job. for my very first job after college i had a boss who was a total perv. he would call the girls (and he always had very young girls working for him) into his office one by one and try things with them. i was shocked when he called me in and well... let's say he touched me inappropriately. did i leave work immediately? no. like this girl i had a full day of scheduled patients and i didn't want to walk out on them. in hindsight should i have walked out? probably, but sometimes the decision isn't as clear cut as you think it should be.

bachviet · 04-28-2006, 08:00 AM

His wife probably didn't give him enough on bed.

Uhhmm.. wait.. Why were you shocked? You are a girl correct?

I mean unless I'm mistaken. I had to go re-read the poster because I thought a guy was posting, but as far as I know, you've always been a girl?

Granted I understand shocked that it happened, but I mean it happened to all of them so it was only a matter of time right?

not sure how you don't think i'm a girl from my post.

no one told me from the get go what kind of guy i was going to be working for. i only found out after the fact that he had done things to other girls. i was a naive chick just out of college at the time. for a moment i actually thought this was how the profession i had gotten into was going to go.
now i would handle the situation very differently.

what i am saying is, it might seem easy for someone to think you can just walk out on a job after that happens, but i can see how the massage therapist finished the day out and then complained to management about the incident. it's not always a cut/dry situation that you can flee from. for one thing, she might've felt she would be fired if she just abandoned her job like that, and most likely needs her job. (although they fired her anyway)

Well it was just the way I read it sounded like you were saying.. " He was doing this to all these girls and I knew about it .. But when he called me in there and did the same thing.. I WAS SHOCKED" But I understand more clearly now

.. And I see your point..

Although being a Guy.. If someone called me into the office (that was female) and tried something with me.. Who knows what would happen.. hehe. Unless they were ugly.. Then I'd probably sue them.

I was hit on at work the other day by a girl that was NOT very attractive. That was unpleasant, but I'll let her have her fantasies.
