Critics dragged Lily-Rose Depp for showing too much nudity in her new HBO series, “The Idol,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.
The 23-year-old daughter of Johnny Depp — who portrays pop star Jocelyn trying to make a comeback after having a breakdown — was accused of excessively flashing her breasts and bottom in the highly anticipated show co-created by The Weeknd and “Euphoria” director Sam Levinson.
“Rarely does a scene go by without the camera showing flashes of her breasts or ass,” the Hollywood Reporter wrote about the actress in a scathing review, adding, “You start to wonder if this is building to anything, and by episode two it seems likely that it’s probably not.”
Further, Variety claimed that Lily’s many sex scenes “scandalizes Cannes” in a review published Monday.
“Revenge porn photos of bodily fluids on Depp’s face, masturbation with ice cubes, nightclub-owning scam artists and vile Hollywood sycophants populated the first two episodes of the already-controversial series,” Variety wrote.
Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times jabbed, “’The Idol,’ or 50 SHADES OF TESFAYE: A Pornhub-homepage odyssey starring Lily-Rose Depp’s areolas and The Weeknd’s greasy rat tail,” referring to The Weeknd’s real name, Abel Tesfaye.
Buchanan added, “Love that this will help launch the HBO Max rebrand, should slot nicely next to ‘House Hunters!’”
Another critic called the second episode of the show “straight-up pornographic.”
“There’s an entire 10-minute scene of The Weeknd talking dirty to Lily while she fingers herself for him, then he tells her to suck his c–k and she gives him head. The worst part is that Sam Levinson originally wanted that scene to be longer, too,” the critic tweeted.
The Twitter user added that the show “heavily exploits” Lily, who apparently has sex in every episode.
“I hope she’s okay with it all because it comes off very exploitative,” the critic added.
