On “The Idol,” Da’Vine Joy Randolph brings a rare bit of heart to the much-discussed show. Playing Destiny, Jocelyn’s (Lily-Rose Depp) manager, the actor portrays one of the only stabilizing forces…
I’m told that Sam Levinson was doing some adjustments, and a new character was added in this second iteration of this project. He has described that he was in a meeting at my agency, and they were talking about the show and he was talking about this role, and he was like, “Have you ever seen Da’Vine in ‘High Fidelity?’” We got on a call a couple of calls and he, as well as Abel, just walked through it and they discussed it with me.We were discussing the world of the show.
I never ever saw anything. And to be very transparent with you, if I did see anyone being mistreated – especially since I was one of the older actors – I would have said something, or I would have walked off that set. But also, we get paid for what we do, meaning it’s long hours, so when they said in the article that it’s long hours, well, any show you’re on, you’re working at least 12 hours. If you walk out there and it’s been 12 hours, that is a good day, girl.
Were you told what the differences were in terms of story from the first version of the show and the current version? The show has a lot of critics – both professionals in the industry writing about the show, and fans on social media – who say that show is gratuitous with drug use and in its sexual nature. How do you respond to that criticism?
The difference I’ve seen with the response between “Euphoria” and “The Idol” is that “Euphoria” is dealing with the issue of addiction. The criticism for this show is mostly dealing with a sexual nature. No, I totally get you. Where it makes it tricky for my character is that Jocelyn is fully consenting, right? So the idea of rape, we can’t even put that on the table, right? Now granted, she’s a superstar, so her world is much bigger, but let’s say that your friend is dating someone and you’re like, “Girl, what are you doing?” But you can’t say anything. It’s the same thing. I can say the person is not good for you, but you’ve got to choose what you want to do.
