Lily-Rose Depp, star of HBO's The Idol, speaks out about the backlash the series received and defends co-creator Sam Levinson. Premiering in mid-2023, The Idol told the story of a pop star (Depp) and her toxic relationship with Tedros, a cult-like figure played by Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd. While it was promoted as a boundary-pushing exploration of fame and exploitation, the show received heavy criticism for its explicit content, narrative choices, and allegations about behind-the-scenes production challenges, which accused Levinson of fostering a problematic creative environment.
