speculation over Kate Middleton and King Charles’s respective health woes continue to swirl.With senior members of the royal family pulling back from the royal fold one at a time over a myriad of health issues, the royal family has faced a difficult start to the year.And according to Kay, the family needs to get their “act together or lose public confidence” before it’s too late.“The photograph issue, while small in itself, nevertheless exposed tensions that lie close to the surface in the family, as well as the fragility of an institution that for decades seemed impervious to any external threat,” Kay wrote in the Daily Mail.“But if we are not quite at the 11th hour, we are perilously close. There still may be time for the high tide of public disapproval to recede, but the cost to the royal image and to individual reputations has been high.”“Yet the problems go beyond the two medical emergencies.
Intimacy coordinators now need actors’ consent to discuss sex scenes publicly — or get the boot: SAG-AFTRA
27.02.2024 - 18:53 / nypost.com
SAG-AFTRA rule now requires intimacy coordinators to get consent from actors before publicly speaking about their sex scenes.“Intimacy coordinators are a crucial resource on any set to ensure the protection of our members working in intimate scenes,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson told Deadline. “Intimacy coordinators should maintain the confidentiality of an actor’s work and experience in performing highly sensitive scenes unless they have the actor’s permission to publicly share this information.”“The public release of details about an actor’s scene work or confidences entrusted to the intimacy coordinator without the performer’s consent is unacceptable,” the statement continued.
“Members have to feel safe, comfortable and confident in engaging with intimacy coordinators.”If an intimacy coordinator fails to do so, they can be removed from the SAG-AFTRA registry of certified intimacy coordinators following an investigation.SAG-AFTRA’s amendment to the Standards and Protocols for the use of Intimacy Coordinators comes mere days after Kristina Arjona spoke with the Daily Mail at length about a highly controversial sex scene between Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman in the film “Miller’s Girl.” “There was many, many people throughout this process, engaging with [Jenna] to make sure that it was consistent with what she was comfortable with, and she was very determined and very sure of what she wanted to do,” Arjona told the outlet. The scene, which has been branded as “gross” by many viewers, depicts Ortega, 21, as an 18-year-old student engaging in sexual acts with Freeman, 52, who portrays her much older teacher and mentor.
