Abel’s hidden acting talent should’ve stayed hidden

what if the weeknd stuck to music 😀

Who knew that putting Sam Levinson in charge of a show that was supposed to outline the hyper-sexualization of women in media would end up with them being hyper-sexualized?

imagine being the intimacy coordinator on the set of this show only to turn around and see them making fun of your whole job for the camera. AND THEN YOU HAVE TO STAY BC ITS YOUR JOB 😭

While she's defending it right now, I can't help but think about later on when Lily Rose Depp may realize how bad this all really is. These scenes now exist forever. I imagine the realization of what this show is and how she was used in it would be really difficult and angering.

Ok but your Ryan Reynolds impression was not bad and was actually decently threatening

They tried to recreate Euphoria with adults and failed miserably. Also love how the weekend can be blantantly mysoginistic and everyone just doesn't care.

That show kinda has "Cuties" vibes, like "hey look at us we're denouncing problematic people" while they're being problematic themselves and that's properly disgusting.

i would literally give my left arm to know what the show was SUPPOSED to be like with the previous director

Something that so many content creators seem to miss is that the intimacy coach isn't there to protect ONLY her. There's a whole cast and crew that agreed to a set level of nudity and you can't just force that on other people just because one actor is comfortable with it

the entire premise of the show went from "women are being abused and exploited in Hollywood" to "hey this is Hollywood and we're abusing and exploiting women! also they asked for it so its fine :)"

Lily rose depp is only 24... her getting humiliated like this is bad enough but I just realized how young she is... and how old the others are.

I'm so happy you pointed out how UNCONVINCING Jocelyn's first meeting with the weeknd's character is. Like am I supposed to go along with a superstar celebrity feeling giddy that a grubby club owner shouted her out and she fell for him???

you could say he's not Abel to take criticism

The fact that we’re supposed to thing Abel is sexy and attractive as women actually pisses me off 😂

If I remember correctly Lily rose Depp said something about empowering woman in this show but I am sorry her being nude doesn’t empower woman at all….she is in a trauma and let’s a man controls her who is taking advantage of her trauma like I don’t understand how that’s empowering

Viewers: "'Velma' is the worst thing HBO has ever aired."

Their dismissal of the intimacy coordinator in the first few scenes really signals what Sam and Abel are all about, which is making sure no one is around to defend vulnerable young women they want to take advantage of. Dont think Ill be able to keep watching euphoria or listening to the weeknd after this. This show is absolutely disgusting.

i’m so glad you covered this cooper. i refuse to watch this, only through reaction channels like yours. i’m sick of disgusting men like sam levinson and the weeknd promoting hypersexualistion of women and their sick rape fantasies without backlash or cancellation. “he’s so rapey” “i kinda like that about him” this is disgusting. and the scrapped scripts were even worse. this is just promoting rape culture. as a sa victim, there is nothing enjoyable or romantic about sa / rape. it’s so gross. also another thing - lily rose depp and sydney sweeney look a lot like sam’s mother 🤢
