Us Weekly<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI know that they have a beautiful intention, and they really want to help and protect actors,\u201d Graham continued. \u201cBut as the actor, sometimes I\u2019m like, \u2018Can you just get all these people out of the room?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham, who starred in\u00a0\u201cBoogie Nights,\u201d\u00a0slammed the \u201cconfusing\u201d new reality of filming sex scenes. She recalled a moment on set when she felt an intimacy coordinator overstepped.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne time, I had an intimacy coordinator, and they started directing me on, like, how to have sex in a scene,\u201d Graham remembered. \u201cThey were like, \u2018When you do this, you can do this.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018You\u2019re not the director, OK? I\u2019m not asking for notes on how to have sex in the scene.’\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just felt, like, \u2018Shut up,\u2019\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018You can just tell this to the director\u2026 because I don\u2019t want to have two different people directing me.\u2019 It\u2019s confusing.\u201d<\/p>\n
