The intimacy coordinator’s insight on the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively clip

Clearly, both sides have contrasting takes on what actually happened in the footage, and it has intensified the public’s fascination with the incident. So,The Hollywood Reporterreached out to Mia Schachter, an intimacy coordinator, and asked her to share a nuanced perspective of the scene.

I can just see her trying to stay lighthearted and in good spirits about it and not upset him or anybody, and not waste anybody’s time. But of course, she is trapped between a rock and a hard place. I can see her appeasing him and trying to keep a smile on her face.

She made it clear that scenes that involve s*x or kissing are choreographed, so both actors are comfortable and informed. Schachter also sheds some light on the power dynamics between Baldoni and Lively during the scene, which is indeed a point of concern. The intimacy coordinator suggested that despite the latter being an established actress, she could feel pressured to remain cordial with the director, i.e., Baldoni.
