The 58-year-old actress, Jane Adams played the role of Nikki Katz in Lily-Rose Depp-led HBO series,The Idol. Her character is the label executive of Depp’s Jocelyn. The show has continuously been bashed for being“torture p-rn”and misogynistic due to series creators Sam Levinson and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye’s creative vision.
However, the former denied the reports and stood adamant on her claim that it was otherwise.
“What is amazing to me is no one’s listening—I’ve not seen that before in all my days, such a dogged ‘We refuse to change the narrative.’”
She continued,
“I especially want to say to all the feminists, ‘Go f–k yourself.’ All these women that I’m working with are talking about their experience and you’re not listening. You’re not listening!”
Though the show concluded the season with five episodes, it continued to remain under public and media scrutiny. Amid that, her bold comments only backfired what she wanted to portray.

Having a safe environment is excellent and should be celebrated. That means absolute squat when it comes to the quality of the content.
