“Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson is being accused of ramping up the sexual content and nudity of the upcoming HBO drama, “The Idol,” and twisting it into a “rape fantasy.”Wednesday, 13 alleged members of the series’ cast and crew spoke out over their discomfort with the show’s new creative direction.
Filmmaker Sam Levinson is being accused of turning “The Idol” into a “rape fantasy” in an explosive new report.However, HBO told Page Six on Wednesday that they are pleased with how production has unfolded since Levinson took over the reins. They added, “Throughout the process, the creative team has been committed to creating a safe, collaborative, and mutually respectful working environment, and last year, the team made creative changes they felt were in the best interest of both the production and the cast and crew. We look forward to sharing ‘The Idol’ with audiences soon.”
Sources also told Rolling Stone that Levinson’s versions of the scripts allegedly contained “disturbing sexual and physically violent scenes” between stars Depp and The Weeknd, who is also co-creator of “The Idol.”There was a scene in one episode in which the Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, allegedly smashes Depp’s character’s face and she smiles, asking to be beaten more, giving Tesfaye an erection. Rolling Stone was told, though, that the scene was never actually shot.
Meanwhile, a rep for The Weeknd sent Page Six a link to the performer’s Instagram post Wednesday, in which he threw shade at Rolling Stone in a scene from “The Idol,” calling them “irrelevant” and “past its prime.”A post shared by The Weeknd
