The Weeknd responds to the scathing report about The Idol with an oddly relevant clip from the upcoming HBO show. From the minds of Abel Tesfaye (better known by his stage name The Weeknd) and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, The Idol follows Lily-Rose Depp as an aspiring pop star who enters a complicated relationship with a contemporary cult leader played by The Weeknd. After some early creative issues involving Tesfaye having the show rewritten to focus less on the female perspective, a recent report from Rolling Stone described The Idol as "twisted torture porn" that has “gone wildly, disgustingly off the rails.”
