In a complaint filed Tuesday, Devyn LaBella claims that union and contractual rules were breached when she was allegedly subjected to perform an impromptu scene of sexual violence without an intimacy coordinator.
The defence that it was a rehearsal isn’t a defence. You still need clear boundaries, and to make both actors comfortable. There still should have been an intimacy coordinator.
This isn’t nice for male actors either, they could have been abused themselves. They could have heard it happening to a parent or sibling growing up. If the lawsuit is correct it’s just awful all round.
