Q'orianka Kilcher speaks onstage at the 11th Annual Governors Awards gala hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Oct. 27, 2019.A “Yellowstone” actor has been accused of insurance fraud after collecting nearly $97,000 in disability benefits while she was working on the show, authorities said Monday.
Kilcher said she had injured her neck and shoulder while acting in the movie “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” in 2018, according to the state insurance department’s statement. She saw a doctor but did not respond to an insurance company handling her claim. But an investigation found Kilcher had been working, making the benefits she received “undeserved,” the statement said.
Kilcher’s attorney did not immediately respond Tuesday morning to a request for comment from NBC News.that Kilcher had been injured while riding in a production vehicle.
