Lucy Boynton has given insight into the role of on-set intimacy coordinators.

The actress who played in Bohemian Rhapsody, now aged 31, has described her role as ‘extremely crucial.’ This role is significant because it’s been a part of the heated argument between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in Hollywood.

In an interview discussing her upcoming role as Ruth Ellis, Lucy expressed that she can’t think of any fellow actress who hasn’t experienced feelings of being marginalized or exposed to both physical and emotional risks while working on film sets.

She pointed out that it’s crucial to ensure not only physical safety but also emotional well-being when performing scenes involving sexual or physical aggression.

We place great importance on ensuring women’s physical safety out of sheer necessity, but it doesn’t automatically follow that the broader society has adapted accordingly. In such a case, an intimacy coordinator becomes incredibly crucial.

Lucy subsequently referenced her personal encounter during the filming of A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story. “During the scene depicting Ruth’s [character] miscarriage,” she clarified, “many found it challenging to approach such a sensitive topic.

Instead of expecting them to handle such situations without proper tools, an intimacy coordinator serves as a crucial link, guiding both parties and ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable. This professional acts like a mediator or interpreter, understanding the nuances of human emotions and navigating the situation with care.

The strong disregard shown by many towards the need for intimacy coordinators suggests a deep-rooted bias in favor of certain genders.

While Lucy was initially reluctant to discuss her personal sense of unease on set, suggesting that her hesitation itself indicates the ongoing nature of the issue, she was swift to commend those who have had the courage to speak out about it.

She mentioned that there seems to be an unspoken rule against expressing overly negative thoughts, as speaking up about them might come across as complaining.

Instead of merely complaining, it’s not team-spirited behavior and it’s unattractive. Moreover, in discussions concerning Ruth’s charm, it’s evident that women are persistently required to be ‘charming’.

This version maintains the original meaning while using more natural and easy-to-read language.

In this field, I’ve encountered more positive than negative situations, largely due to the trailblazing women who preceded me. These remarkable individuals discarded the notion of being ‘appealing’ and instead chose to speak up boldly. They took significant risks, or even everything they had, to express their views and improve this industry.

Drawing upon recent insights from a seasoned Hollywood intimacy coordinator, I’ve taken a closer look at the viral video featuring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni from The End’s It With Us production. This examination offers valuable perspectives for understanding and navigating on-set dynamics in a respectful and professional manner.

The legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni has intensified significantly, with the actress claiming sexual harassment against him and an effort to tarnish her public image.

37-year-old actress filed a lawsuit against her co-star several months following the release of their successful movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel. In this production, she portrayed Lily Bloom and Justin, aged 41, who directed the film, played her abusive character, Ryle Kincaid.

In her legal complaint, Blake asserted that Justin deliberately organized a damaging public relations strategy aimed at tarnishing his/her image in the press.

Justin filed lawsuits against the actress and her spouse, Ryan Reynolds, 48, for a claimed sum of $400 million due to their attempts to harm his reputation. Additionally, he also sued The New York Times for $250 million over defamatory statements.

After the release of raw footage from “It Ends With Us,” along with voice memos, text conversations between him and Blake, and a site defending his actions amidst sexual misconduct allegations, both Blake and Ryan have asked the court to impose a restraining order on public discussion about the matter.

A video, exclusively published by DailyMail.com last month, revealed three different attempts at a dance scene between Lively and Baldoni. This footage suggests that the two were getting along quite well prior to Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Upon the clip’s unveiling, Lively responded vigorously, asserting that it demonstrated her discomfort during the filming of that particular scene.

Mia Schachter, who wasn’t involved with “It Ends With Us” but has contributed to shows like Apple TV+’s Lessons in Chemistry, HBO’s Insecure, and FX’s American Crime Story, shared her thoughts with THR, stating that the evidence seems to suggest that Baldoni did indeed make Lively feel uneasy.

Upon being inquired about what caught her attention in the scenario, she replied, ‘What immediately struck me was his attempt to kiss her. It seems as though they hadn’t previously agreed upon it, and she repeatedly distances herself, evidently expressing discomfort.’

In the scene outside the bar at night, Lily and Ryle are deeply engrossed in a slow dance while patrons watch and drink nearby. If there had been an intimacy consultant on set, they would have prevented any kissing from occurring within this scene.

In her account, it was Baldoni’s duty to consult Lively about her feelings regarding the kiss in the scene, however, she alleges that he took the initiative instead. She recoiled initially, but he persisted and repeated the action again.

Schachter admitted that the communication issue, which he considered quite severe, could be seen as highly critical for both his acting and directing roles.

Schachter stated that she didn’t consider the clip as providing ‘exoneration for Baldoni’, and if she had been the production coordinator, she would have communicated clearly with both Lively and Baldoni about what each was comfortable with and what Baldoni desired as a director. This way, neither of them would have been ‘taken aback’ or ‘caught off guard’.

A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story can be seen on and Britbox 17 February, and ITV 2 March
