Sexual misconduct allegations
During the making of the film in 2003, Tom Sizemore was told to leave the set after he allegedly touched the genitals of an anonymous child actress. Sizemore denied any wrongdoing, and was allowed back on the film set after the Salt Lake County prosecutor's office decided against going forward with the case "due to witness and evidence problems."

In May 2018, the unnamed actress, then aged 26, filed a lawsuit seeking at least $3 million from Sizemore, claiming his alleged abuse had caused long-standing emotional problems. A statement from Sizemore's publicist again denied the allegations, noting that nothing amiss was reported by a Born Killers staff member tasked with supervising child actors on set. After USA Today reported on August 27, 2020, that a Utah Judge had dismissed the lawsuit, Sizemore released a statement stating: "Beyond the loss of work and the pain and humiliation this has caused me and my family, the thought that an 11-year-old girl would think I violated her, whether it be because she misconstrued some inadvertent touching when the director placed her upon my lap for the photo shoot or someone else instilled this idea in her head for whatever malicious, self-serving reasons, is what devastates me most."
