This suggests to me she was unhappy that she wasn't invited back for the next installment in the series and she's framing it as harassment:

"The filing alleged that LaBella “was not hired back to continue her role or at all as a stunt double for Horizon 3, which began filming in early 2024.”
It’s going to be difficult for her if they have her own words to show she was anything but traumatized by the experience.

Costner's attorney Marty Singer told The Hollywood Reporter -- which first reported the case -- the lawsuit has "absolutely no merit." He also said Costner "always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously."

He further alleges LaBella took stunt coordinator Wade Allen to dinner following the production as a symbol of her gratitude and texted him, saying ... "Thank you for these wonderful weeks!"

That is why I think the lawsuit is her response to not being invited back, but watch her argue she did that just to protect her career.
 
If she was not a seasoned actress, she might have realized later on, that she could have had an intimacy coordinator on set.
In addition, getting a job is so dependent on being liked, easy to get along with. It is easy to understand why she would have texted people.
If she feels it was traumatizing, acting might not be a good fit for her, imho.
