Emily Osment says she requested an intimacy coordinator for kissing scenes with “Young Sheldon” co-star Montana Jordan, citing concern about their age difference. The coverage reports that director Alex Reid later acknowledged that production “dropped the ball” by not initially having an intimacy coordinator in place for those moments.
Across outlets, the main context remains the same: Osment’s request leads to the inclusion of an intimacy coordinator and the director’s admission that the team did not plan for it at the start. Variety adds further background, linking the story to Jessica Radloff’s book about the show’s production and describing Osment’s characterization of the age gap as uncomfortable.
While the reports broadly agree on what happened and the director’s admission, they differ in emphasis—some focus on the request and director’s acknowledgement, while others highlight the “uncomfortable” framing of the age gap and the book context.
