Gwyneth Paltrow's Comments on Intimacy Coordinators Criticized as 'Irresponsible'

Former Channel 4 drama chief Caroline Hollick calls Paltrow's remarks a setback to industry efforts to ensure actor safety and consent in sex scenes.

Gwyneth Paltrow expressed feeling 'stifled' by intimacy coordinators on the set of 'Marty Supreme,' asking one to step back during sex scenes with Timothée Chalamet.
Caroline Hollick, speaking at Series Mania, described Paltrow's comments as 'irresponsible,' emphasizing the importance of intimacy coordinators in addressing power dynamics in Hollywood.
Hollick argued that intimacy coordinators empower actors by providing support against the agendas of producers, writers, and directors.
The controversy highlights broader cultural debates about artistic freedom, workplace safety, and evolving industry practices since the #MeToo movement.
Set for release in December 2025, 'Marty Supreme' has drawn additional attention due to its star-studded cast and potential awards season visibility.
