HBO’s latest series The Idol which is produced by Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd and co-created by Euphoria fame Sam Levinson has been constantly facing the heat ever since the steamy trailer of the series dropped. The show starring Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose Depp in the lead has been under constant scrutiny for scenes filled with revenge p*rn images of bodily fluids on Depp’s face, m*sturbating with ice cubes, along with other filthy scenes.

While there is no dearth of female n*dity, The Weekend and the show’s creators have been slammed for no male n*dity. In the show, Lily-Rose Depp stars as an aspiring pop sensation named Jocelyn and the shows centers around her becoming dangerously involved with a guru named Tedros, played by The Weeknd.

The HBO Original series got a 5-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival where the first two episodes of the show were premiered. Speaking of the latest, The Weeknd was slammed as “misogynistic Abel” on Twitter for showcasing explicit female n*dity but zero n*dity from the male characters. The series was also recently dubbed as “50 Shades of Tesfaye: A P*rnhub-homepage odyssey” by The New York Times. Many on Twitter slammed the crooner for never ever going shirtless.
