Couples Therapy star Dr. Jenn Mann slams Elizabeth Hurley, 58, for ‘major breach of boundaries’ after actress allowed her son Damian, 21, to direct her in a racy lesbian SEX SCENE

Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian have come under furious fire from a professional psychotherapist over their controversial new film collaboration, which saw the actress directed by her child while performing a lesbian sex scene.

Elizabeth, 58, raised eyebrows for her steamy scene with another woman in the raunchy trailer for her upcoming film Strictly Confidential; which was directed by her 21-year-old son Damian.

While Elizabeth claimed to feel ‘liberated’ by having a family member around to film the challenging scenes, couples therapy star Dr Jenn Mann has criticized her actions.

According to the licensed marriage, family and child therapist, filming the scenes constitutes a major boundary crossing between parent and child, and she would advise against simulating sex in the presence of your child.

Jen told me TMZ she found the actress’s comments about the scenes “liberating”, “bizarre” – and inconsistent with a healthy parent-child dynamic.

She told the publication that she believes that even though Damian is an adult, directing his own mother’s erotic scenes crosses the boundaries between parent and child.

Elizabeth, who shares Damian with ex Steve Bing, previously told Access Hollywood that she felt “safe and cared for” shooting the film.

“It’s relaxing to know that there’s someone behind the camera watching you,” the Austin Powers star explained, adding that this was especially important when filming this movie.

“Because the things that he scripted me to do weren’t necessarily always done in movies before, but having him there made me feel safe and cared for,” she said.

The actress added: It’s a bit liberating to work with your family, maybe I’ll do it again.’

Damian agreed with his mother, telling the publication that he didn’t find the controversial scene problematic.

‘We felt in our comfort zone, it’s very strange. “I also think that when you’re in an independent film, you have 18 days to shoot, every second counts,” he shared. “You can’t sit around and think about scenes and think, ‘What if?’

The director and model spoke to People about the film earlier this year, revealing that his mother Elizabeth had “promised” years ago to be in his first picture, and when it was greenlit, she “dropped everything” to participate.

He praised his mother in a heartfelt Instagram post, writing: ‘All involved deserve public statements of adoration (all of which will come in due time), but right now I want to salute @ElizabethHurley1 who, during the making of my first ever short film in 2010 (when I was 8) she promised me she would be in my first feature film; True to her word, as soon as this movie got the green light, Mom dropped everything and ran to the beautiful Caribbean to help. Working together was a dream.’

The mystery drama – directed by 21-year-old Damian – follows Mia, played by Georgia Lock, as she is drawn into a ‘world of sex, duplicity and betrayal’ as she tries to unravel the mystery surrounding her best friend Rebecca’s suicide.

The trailer shows Mia returning to the exotic Caribbean island where Rebecca died, and in addition to uncovering old passions, she vows to learn the truth about her friend’s death.

In the trailer, Elizabeth’s character Lil is seduced by Natasha, played by actress Pear Chiravara.

This isn’t the first time the mother-son duo has raised eyebrows. In 2018, she revealed that the secret photographer behind her seemingly endless stream of bikini Instagram posts was in fact her only son.

Damian’s shadow is even visible in some images, where she frolics on the beach in a two-piece swimsuit.

She made the revelation after uploading a series of sizzling holiday snaps of herself braless and in a bikini for Valentine’s Day.

Strictly Confidential will be released in cinemas and on Prime Video on April 5.
