McFadden, who is being represented by Hach and Rose, claims that the incident occurred while she was filming in Ossining, N.Y., on October 27, 2017. The nature of her injury and how it was caused are not detailed in the complaint, which was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court despite the fact that the incident occurred while she and the production companies were working in nearby Westchester County.

The complaint only notes "that during the course of the filming and/or production of the aforementioned film, plaintiff was caused to trip ang sic fall due to negligence and carelessness of a person or persons under the management, supervision, guidance, instruction, production, direction and/or control of the defendants, their employees, agents, servants, contractors and/or licensees."

BlacKkKlansman — which was produced by Peele and written and directed by Lee — premiered just eight months after this incident at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film was awarded the Grand Prix from the festival jury. It went on to receive six Academy Award nominations, including three for Lee. The long-overdue auteur went on to win his first competitive Oscar a few weeks later when he was awarded the prize for Best Adapted Screenplay at the ceremony.
