Part 4/7:
Madison's stance swiftly attracted criticism and sparked a broader dialogue. Critics argue that her choice undermines the important work of intimacy coordinators, who help prevent exploits and clarify boundaries in what can often be tense and vulnerable situations. Detractors also suggest that opting out may not always be feasible or safe depending on the scene's complexity and the actors’ comfort levels.
Conversely, supporters of Madison's decision commend her for asserting control over her own body and performance. Some believe that intimacy coordinators, while helpful, might sometimes hinder the organic nature of certain performances or create a sense of over-regulation on set.
