About

Her comments sparked a debate and memes in mid-December 2024 about the implications of intimacy coordinators in film productions.
Origin
On December 17th, 2024, Variety[1] released the "Actors on Actors" series featuring Pamela Anderson and Mikey Madison. During their conversation about intimacy coordinators in Hollywood, Madison explained why she decided not to utilize one while filming her character--a sex worker-- in the 2024 movie Anora, where she explained her reasoning. The full conversation (seen below) amassed more than 145,000 views and 6,600 likes in two days.
Spread
Madison's remarks about the intimacy coordinator for her sex scene sparked an array of mixed reactions and criticism on X, in which some netizens argued that rejecting intimacy coordinators is a regressive stance that undermines the need for safety and consent on set. For example, on December 17th, 2024, X[2] user @kendallhosseini replied to Variety's tweet showing Mikey's comment about the topic, writing "intimacy coordinators should be non-negotiable on set. this is like firing your HR department cause you think they’d kill your vibe." The post amassed more than 135,000 views and 6,300 likes in two days.
