Emily Atack has revealed that she has been sexually assaulted at work throughout her career. The Rivals actress revealed to the Radio Times that she wants to make a documentary about how the #MeToo movement made a difference to people's behaviour on sets, with a particular focus on the introduction of intimacy coordinators. Divulging the shocking inspiration behind her documentary, Emily said, "I've been sexually assaulted at work throughout my career, whether it's on the actual set, or at a wrap party - and since the #MeToo movement, (hiring intimacy coordinators) shows that people are listening and that there has to be a shift in behaviour on sets." The former Inbetweeners star did not share further details about her experience; however, she noted that she hasn't "felt safe all the time" on sets. While she has plenty of sex scenes and moments of nudity in Rivals, she felt cared for while shooting the racy comedy-drama because of intimacy coordinators, who are there to protect and advocate for the actors during provocative scenes. "I'm really proud of the Rivals gang because, throughout my life, I haven't felt safe all the time, and we're all so respectful of each other. We have to do a lot of sexual scenes and we're very looked after. It's a really positive thing," she stated. The 35-year-old, who plays Sarah Stratton on the show, told the publication that she was going to "start having conversations" about her intimacy coordinator documentary soon. Singing their praises further, Emily continued, "I've seen people roll their eyes about them and say, 'I don't need one.' There's a defensiveness about it, because they feel like they're being accused of something they haven't even done yet. Intimacy coordinators are there for support if you feel uncomfortable, whether you're a man or a woman." In 2023, Emily fronted the documentary Emily Atack: Asking for It? about her experience with online sexual harassment.
