The Weeknd and his co-star Lily-Rose Depp have slammed claims their new HBO show The Idol is "torture porn" which was created by a "toxic man".
The upcoming series is said to have been plagued by delays and rewrites, with a new report revealing unrealistic expectations from producers and the filming of graphic sex scenes.
The damning report was published in Rolling Stone earlier this week, with the show being described as something which has "gone wildly, disgustingly off the rails".
