Jennifer Lawrence is facing criticism for her comments regarding the use of intimacy coordinators on the set of her new film, Die My Love.
Speaking on a podcast, Lawrence stated that she did not require an intimacy coordinator for nude scenes with co-star Robert Pattinson, citing his “not pervy” nature and relationship with Suki Waterhouse.
Intimacy coordinators are defined as liaisons and coaches for actors in scenes involving nudity or simulated sex, intended to ensure safety and protection for all involved.
Social media users have widely criticized Lawrence's remarks, arguing that they misrepresent the fundamental purpose of intimacy coordinators, which is to safeguard everyone on set.
The necessity of on-set intimacy coordinators has become a divided topic, with some actors supporting their role while others, including Lawrence and Gwyneth Paltrow, have expressed doubts.
