The actress said there were “no red flags” on set of the controversial HBO series, which has faced backlash for its graphic content.
She continued, “Being completely transparent, there were no red flags because to me, that made sense — Abel had a vision that didn’t get executed, he wanted to make sure he really believed in it, he wanted to make sure it’s done how he sees it, so he got Sam on board to do it himself.”Getty Images for Air Mail/Warner Brothers Discovery
Randolph also defended the “Blinding Lights” singer, 33, and the “Euphoria” creator, 38, following claims that the show had gone “disgustingly off the rails” and been turned into “sexual torture porn.”“If I did see anyone being mistreated — especially since I was one of the older actors — I would have said something, or I would have walked off that set.”Photograph by Eddy Chen/HBO
Although Randolph admitted the cast and crew did spend “long hours” on set shooting, she denied that anything was “out of the ordinary.”“And on top of it, I think they gave even more love, care, sensitivity and respect, due to the fact of what the actors have to do. The crew was very supportive, we knocked it out and we made something that I think was quite great and different.”
