"I Will Never See The Weeknd The Same": People Have Thoughts About This Week's Vulgar "Idol" Scene

"I really need Abel to get dragged for this nasty scene in The Idol," one person said.

As you've probably seen, The Idol — created by Euphoria's Sam Levinson and Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye — premiered last week.

It's very sexual and (in my opinion) kinda corny.

Anyway, last night, there was one scene where Tedros Tedros (Abel) talks dirty to Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) and tells her to perform various sex acts.

It was very porny, which is fine but, like, also surprising, even for HBO (streaming as "Max" now). In the scene he says things like, "Let me see those titties" and "You look like a treat. Imagine my tongue on your pussy — my fat tongue."

People didn't exactly love the scene. "I will never see the weeknd the same after this," one person wrote.

Others were like, "It sounds better when he is singing these lines."

It sounds better when he is singing these lines. As much as I can get with a scene like this like the next, something about his delivery made me uncomfortable.
