Fate of ‘The Idol’ up in the air amid criticism of The Weeknd’s ‘egomaniacal’ behavior
TV viewers were left horrified by a sex scene that aired during HBO’s “The Idol” Sunday night.
The footage in question showed The Weeknd, now known by his given name, Abel Tesfaye, telling a woman to “f–kin’ stretch that tiny little p—y” while she stuck her fingers in her mouth.
The show, which already has been described as a “rape fantasy,” faced even more criticism than it already had as soon as the scene aired.
“I will never see the weeknd the same after this #theidol,” tweeted one viewer.
“The Weeknd is such a pervert omg,” tweeted another.
“I really need Abel to get dragged for this nasty scene in The Idol,” commented another.
Another went so far as to say she had “lost respect” for the “Blinding Lights” singer.
“someone put the entire sex scene from the idol and.. let’s just say I lost respect for the weeknd,” the user tweeted.
“I’m sorry I don’t care what you do but doing it on tv especially GRAPHICALLY is weird.”

Someone else chimed in, “I didn’t expect Abel to be so X rated.”
The show, which also stars Lily-Rose Depp and is the product of “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson, has been blasted as “comically bad.”
However, Depp, 24, has maintained a positive attitude since the show’s debut at the Cannes Film Festival despite being criticized for showing too much “breast” and “ass.”
“I love Abel so much,” Depp said of her co-star and the show’s executive producer during a breakdown of Episode 1 that aired post-premiere.
“He was able to melt into this role in a way that is really difficult for anybody to do.”
Although the “Uncut Gems” actor, 33, has been dragged for his performance, Depp has been described as “frighteningly good” despite the content she’s been given.
She’s also laughed off the controversy, which included “Saturday Night Live” star Chloe Fineman’s parody of her character.
“I’m loling 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ….. and ur makeup looks bomb,” Depp responded in the comments.
