Though both actors “went along with Sam’s direction,” an eyewitness tells Page Six that the majority of those on set found the scene troubling.
“The Idol” director Sam Levinson laughed as he ordered The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp to film a “disturbing” rape scene for the controversial show, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
The spy explains that the Emmy-winning “Euphoria” creator “explicitly directed” the character of Tedros to “strangle” the character of Jocelyn and ejaculate “inside her without her consent.” The spy makes sure to clarify that The Weeknd himself “did not literally” ejaculate inside Depp. A second source, who confirms the scene was filmed, tells us it was “originally set up to lead to a pregnancy scare for Jocelyn and ultimately was cut because of storyline adjustments, which is a normal part of the creative process on a television series.”
