The 34-year-old - seen in the 2022 indie flick Candy Land - did not name the actor or the movie in question
Luccardi had been discussing intimacy in indie films as she explained: 'The sad fact is not everyone can have intimacy coordination because of budgets. And it's not like it's a mandatory thing yet, which it should be.
'They should make it work so that indie movies can afford an intimacy coordinator, because that's also where some of the weirdest s*** happens and some of my weirdest experiences have happened.
'I've had some really, bad, bad experiences. I've done a lot of indies. This isn't the indies' faults.'
Elaborating further on one incident in particular, she added: 'I had one actor, we were about to have a sex scene, and he just asked, "You mind if I first show my Michaelangelo?"
'And I'm like, "I don't know what that is. Sure, whatever, do what you need." And he pulled his pants down.
'So I'm like, "Oh, my God, that means your d**k. Your d**k is out." But this was also before knowing about intimacy coordination.
'Now I would have spoken up and been like, "Nope, put some pants on. Put some pants on, old man." But I didn't know that at the time.'
Luccardi shared: 'I mean, he's a veteran actor, but this was his first love scene ever. So he didn't have the knowledge either.'

Luccardi did not state the name of the production, however she has more than 38 acting credits on her resume, according to her profile on IMDb.
The titles include blockbusters such The Rewrite (2014) featuring Hugh Grant, Drunk Parents (2019) starring Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek, as well as Viena And The Fantomes (2020) alongside The Bear star Jeremy Allen White.
In 2022, she starred in a graphic thriller called Candy Land, in which she portrayed the role of a young member of a religious cult who grows close to a group of sex workers at a local truck stop.
The indie flick - which also featured Billy Baldwin - saw the actress acting out a very graphic scene involving a predatorial man dressed in a priest's outfit, played by actor Mark Ward.

Last year, Luccardi starred in horror flick Soft & Quiet, alongside Stefanie Estes and Eleaonore Pienta, which left Netflix viewers terrified by its twisted plot.
It followed an elementary school teacher who organized a mixer for white supremacist women before a horrifying chain of events was unleashed when a mysterious person from her past re-enters her life.
