Kate Beckinsale's team is firing back at producers who claimed the actress' lawsuit for alleged unsafe working conditions on the set of Canary Black was filed just for publicity, Us Weekly can exclusively report. On August 28, Anton Entertainment Media, which produced the 2024 action film Canary Black starring Beckinsale, 52, slammed the actress in court documents, accusing her of making "baseless" claims. The producers denied they engaged in conduct with intent to harm or offend her or that she did not consent to any of their conduct. In her suit, Beckinsale claimed she suffered serious injuries on the set due to the "unsafe and dangerous conditions." In their response, the producers claim Beckinsale's suit is filled with "baseless accusations and misrepresentations of fact." Beckinsale's lawyer, Jesse Creed, partner at Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP, tells Us, "The positions taken by the producers and their insurance company are absurd. As detailed in the complaint, the producers recklessly caused injury to Kate Beckinsale by taking risks they were specifically told not to take. It is outrageous that the producers have refused to acknowledge the substantial injuries they've caused to Ms. Beckinsale by their alleged misconduct."

"The paucity of these allegations reveal that Plaintiff, whether for publicity or monetary gain, is attempting to spin a garden-variety workplace negligence claim into something larger," a lawyer representing the producers argued. The producers argued Beckinsale's issues needed to be addressed with Workers' Comp, not in a lawsuit against them. They told the court the evidence will show that the film relied on "an experienced stunt department, maintained the highest safety standards, and bent over backwards to accommodate [Beckinsale's] demands, ultimately paying [Beckinsale's] out-of-pocket medical expenses for her alleged injury, which caused delays to production, costing millions of dollars."

Producers scoffed at the actress' battery claim she brought due to her allegedly being "touched" on set by people. They said Beckinsale's lawsuit "utterly fails to describe what conduct is at issue or even who engaged in such conduct" or explain how the alleged conduct harmed her. The producers demanded that Beckinsale's entire lawsuit be thrown out.
