    The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that this case serves as a serious reminder of the critical role intimacy coordinators play on set.
    Jessica Steinrock, the chief executive of Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, is at the vanguard of a field that facilitates the production of scenes involving nudity, simulated sex or hyper exposure.

    I have filed a Motion for Recusal of Judge Lewis J. Liman in Lively v. Wayfarer Studios LLC et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-10049 (SDNY), with the Clerk of Court and served all parties. This motion addresses concerns about judicial impartiality, including industry entanglements,

    Just filed an addendum to my recusal motion in Lively v. Wayfarer Studios (SDNY) after confirming that 3 Arts Entertainment was acquired by Lionsgate—the same company Judge Liman holds shares in, per his 2021 financial disclosure. Images attached.

    They buried the Lede: “The classic Disney films didn’t start out trying to have a message. They wanted you to get involved in the characters and the story and the world, and I think that’s still the heart of it,” Musker added. “You don’t have to exclude agendas, but you have

    Actually, I think a better term might be a consent coordinator and they should probably be policing relationships on set. @IDCProfessiona1

    🪶As I’ve said in the past, I filed multiple complaints about Ryan Reynolds, Maximum Effort, and related retaliation years ago with the BC Human Rights Tribunal. They remained unresolved, while I alleged my career was derailed and retaliatory portrayals multiplied. It was only

    Blake went after Gawker Media for an article called “Blake Livelys Fall Fashion is Slave Owners” in 2014. Can’t sue for hurt feelings, @VancityReynolds ?
