‘The Idol’s’ Gross Sex Scene Has Given Me Nightmares
The Idol has taken over my Twitter feed, and it hasn’t been pretty. I can’t escape this one sex scene between Tedros (Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye) and Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) from the end of Episode 2.
During a darkly lit scene, we see Jocelyn masturbating on a bed while Tedros watches her with an expressionless face. In an effort to keep the bedroom scene sexy, Tedros threw out some lines that were extremely uncomfortable to watch.

“I wanna grab you by the ass while I suffocate you with my cock,” he said, in a whisper, which I can only guess was supposed to be sexy.
Tbh, it hurts me to even write these, but he also said: “Fucking stretch that tiny little pussy”, “Put your finger down your throat, make that wet for me” (??) and “Imagine my tongue on your pussy. My fat tongue”.
It’s giving ‘sex scene written by a man’, and since the original director Amy Seimetz was replaced by Euphoria’s Sam Levinson, that tracks.
GQ labelled the steamy scene as the “worst sex scene in history”, and yep, that’s fair.
We’ve rounded up the best tweets about The Idol’s sex scene below:

Before Levinson and Tesfaye scrapped and overhauled her mostly completed season of THE IDOL, Amy Seimetz made THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, a mesmerizingly brilliant series about fantasies of control and women negotiating their power in a world of possessive men. Watch that instead. pic.twitter.com/GDP4YTcgSi

And guys, we suggest you brace yourselves: there are four more episodes of The Idol to drop, so there’s bound to be a bunch of cringe moments to come.
