Sex (and Sobs) on the Set: Actresses Lay Bare Their Thoughts on Baring it All
American Thinker.com ^ | May 21, 2021 | Christa Stamper

Tragically, women in the film industry sometimes resort to the same numbing strategies as women in the porn industry, like the use of drugs and alcohol. Kiera Knightley said that she downed “a couple of shots of vodka – definitely -- beforehand.” Jennifer Lawrence said, “I got really, really drunk. But then that led to more anxiety.” Salma Hayek confessed, “I had to take a tranquilizer, which eventually stopped the crying but made the vomiting worse.”

Most of us assume that actresses sign up for on-screen sex and nudity with eyes wide open but, in reality, they often have no idea what they will be pressured to do on set. It is not uncommon for directors and producers to ambush young, inexperienced actresses with nude and sex scenes that were not in the contract.

The sex scene in Desperado that so traumatized Salma Hayek wasn’t even written into the script. According to Hayek, “It was demanded by the studio when they saw the chemistry” (on set between Hayek and Banderas). In the movie Frida, Harvey Weinstein, the convicted sexual abuser whose victims spearheaded the #MeToo movement, insisted that Hayek again film a nude sex scene that she had not consented to in advance: “I felt an immense pressure to deliver…

my mind understood that I had to do it, but my body wouldn’t stop crying and convulsing.”

Emilia Clarke recalled her excitement when offered her breakout role as Queen Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, only to learn later of the show’s explicit sex and nudity: “Oh, there’s the catch.” She reports that she found the experiences “terrifying” and between nude scenes would hide in the bathroom to cry.

Choices: 1) Go to bed with Harvey Weinstein and become rich and famous. 2) Don’t go to be with Harvey Weinstein and go back and kick around in your hometown.

If they were smart, take #2 door. Wait tables local Applebee's. Go to community college then finish up their degree at state U and become a teacher or nurse. At least, they wouldn't have sold their soul to the devil aka Harvey.

When they do it without the female expecting it, it’s not okay!

“...I felt a little raped...”

The denial.

You were, or you weren’t; there’s a defining line to the definition that makes it a binary, not a quantitative, issue.
