James Gunn & the Devil’s @$$hole
Spoot Lepedus – August 9, 2018

Devil’s @$$hole: Someone so vile and offensive they are not the right hand of Satan, but the cornhole itself! A truly evil being.

THE CULT CANNON
An Op-Ed by Spoot Lepedus

So I was looking into this whole James Gunn pedo-Twitter thing with the intention of writing a piece on why Disney did the right thing by firing him.

Pedo-Twitter thing: Few realized just how dark and twisted Gunn’s Twitter feed actually was until these came to light: As racist, misogynistic, and body shaming these tweets above may be perceived, that aren’t nearly as shocking as some of the others in his Twitter feed that were unearthed by intrepid Reddit users. There were really too many to show, and most of them just get sicker and sicker, bordering on pedophilia humor. For his part, Gunn has gone back and deleted thousands of these problematic tweets and issued an apology late yesterday [July 19, 2018].

These tweets are “offensive” according to James Gunn and we don’t disagree. Arguably, most of them are not just offensive, some are borderline insane. In fact, one could be forgiven for calling James Gunn a hypocrite for bringing up offensive remarks from 15 years ago spoken by U.S. citizen Donald Trump when Gunn is suddenly is seeking grace and forgiveness himself from the marginalized and PC culture he has insulted much more recently, including the #MeToo movement.

Variety had this to say regarding the controversy: […] This isn’t Gunn’s first digital era controversy. Six years ago, he apologized publicly for a 2011 blog that was criticized as sexist and homophobic. In an entry titled “The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With,” […]

There are many points that can be addressed concerning this issue: free speech, public shaming, the hypocrisy of social media, what line (if any) exists when it comes to comedy, etc., but I had pretty much focused in on the aspect I felt was being underreported in regards to this story – and that is that James Gunn is a f*cking scumbag that consorts with other scumbags and got what he deserved. My “proof” isn’t really proof, it’s still just an opinion and essentially a guilt-by-association argument, but I’m not trying to prosecute a case in front of a Grand Jury here; I just felt that some of the unsavory details omitted by the press really matter.

One thing that struck me was the sheer number of tweets concerning raping and diddling kids. There were hundreds (perhaps thousands; Gunn deleted over ten thousand tweets from his account when this starting breaking) where he talks about things like (and I’m paraphrasing here) jacking off to Justin Bieber, raping the p*ussy boy next to him in a movie theater because Expendables 3 was so good, and his excitement of receiving a video from his buddy called “100 pubescent girls touch themselves” which made him come all over his own face. If I were a Facebook algorithm trying to determine James Gunn’s main interests based on his social media output, I would conclude it was child molestation and rape instead of filmmaking.

Another thing is the buddy that sent him the video (which apparently featured a bunch of girls singing the Divinyls song “I Touch Myself), Huston Huddleston, was convicted of possessing child porn. So yeah, hundreds (maybe thousands) of child molestation “jokes”, one of which included an exchange with this convicted-of-having-child porn buddy. Who knows what other sh*t Gunn had to say that wasn’t screen captured prior to his twitter purge.

Then there was the NAMBLA jokes he exchanged with Lloyd Kaufman, his “men-tor” and the co-founder of Troma Studios (you know, Toxic Avenger and sh*t). There’s plenty to suggest Kaufman was no stranger to smut, having directed several porn films in the early 70’s, as well as having a 15-year old girl, Kansas Bowling, as his “protégé”. (Kansas directed the Satanic-as-f*ck video for the Death Valley Girls at age 15, later going on to make a video where she and her sister sucked on ping pong balls, force fed each other pizza, and got led around like dogs in their panties by Kansas’ 70-year old boyfriend Rodney Bingenheimer).

Kaufman also is friends with Tony Podesta, who favors pedo art [the article has some pics of some of the strange art work that is in the collection of Tony Podesta] and occasionally enjoys “spirit cooking” with his Satanic-as-f*ck friend Marina Abramovic. (I have to wonder what a super powerful D.C. lobbyist and the head of a trashy B-movie studio could possibly have in common . . .

Again, none of this proves Gunn actually did anything illegal, but it goes to show the cesspool of his celebrity circles. I wouldn’t be shocked if it turned out James liked to actually engage in some of the sh*t he seemed so obsessed with tweeting about.

One of the problems when you’re crawling up the devil’s @$$ playing six-degrees-of-pedo-separation is that it keeps going, and you start to get a stomach ache from all the sh*t-covered black pills you’re eating along the way. There are many more branches that could be followed, but I decided I had enough when I hit this pocket of sh*t. It turns out that Disney hired Brian Peck, who had been convicted on two counts of sexually abusing minor when he was with Nickelodeon, to work on the kids’ show “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” What the f*ck? How did this happen? Is it possible that the people in charge of hiring didn’t know he was a registered sex offender? I mean, he was well known in the kid-show circles.

I find it hard to believe that no one at Disney had any clue this had happened. I think they gave him a job because there was a tacit understanding that if he kept his mouth shut about the other diddlers in the business, they would reward his loyalty when he got out of jail. Think this is just another crazy conspiracy theory from Alex Jones? Maybe it is, sure, but let’s see what the devil’s @$$hole has to say about it.

Peck worked on “Growing Pains” prior to his arrest with producer Steve Marshall, who also happened to be arrested for distribution of child pornography. By the way, Bob Villard, Leonardo DiCaprio’s publicist (did you know Leo was on “Growing Pains”?) was also arrested for child molestation. Villard was friends with child talent agent Marty Weiss, who worked on iCarly and some other kids’ shows, and who was also arrested. Any guess as to what he was arrested for? Cocaine trafficking? Jaywalking? Child molestation? Oh yeah, I remember. Peck also worked with Dan Schneider on the Nickelodeon show “All That.” Nick recently parted ways with Dan, who had created many successful shows for them.

The Variety story on this makes no mention of the years-long rumors that Dan had a foot fetish for his young stars and allegedly had relations with underage girls that he in turn helped with their careers. Also Peck was in two of the X-Men movies, directed by his (alleged) pedo buddy Bryan Singer, and he’s also friends with well-known sexual deviant Charlie Sheen, whose ex-wife Denise Richards claims had child porn on his computer in their divorce papers.

Did I mention that Bryan Singer’s friend Marc Collins-Rector was arrested for transportation of a minor with the intent to engage in sexual activity? What do think these people do when they get together and hang out? Play Fortnite? Beer pong? You think they ever share their photos and movies with each other? “Hook each other up” so to speak? These pervs worked on a lot of the same shows and knew a lot of the same people…. I tell you, this dank rectal tunnel of pedos stretches into infinity . . .

So anyway, what I’m thinking now is that Disney made the decision to fire the Gunn not for moral reasons, but financial ones. Disney is one of the few corporate monsters that hasn’t gone full hard-core Liberal, yet, as they understand offending and losing those Republican, conservative, and Christian dollars is a stupid business move. I think they probably thought about it in terms of how having him or not would directly affect the box office. I certainly don’t think it was that they gave a sh*t about James Gunn not being representative of their values as a company. I mean, James Gunn does a web series called “PG Porn” that is crude and vulgar as sh*t. He’s been doing it since 2008. I guess no one at Disney knew this, or maybe didn’t care?

I guess my final conclusion from this is the most pessimistic: the hard-Left kind of appears to think that pedophilia isn’t really that big of a deal, and that attitude has emboldened these sick f*ckers to be completely causal about it. I thought that child molestation was so f*cking repugnant that it was universally understood to be the sickest, lowest form of human evil. Even in a prison filled to the brim with the worst of society, the prisoners have an unspoken code that the diddler is the lowest of low and should be beaten to death in the shower at the earliest opportunity.

The Left seem to be more sympathetic to the plight of the diddler. There have been a few articles written (one by Salon that’s particularly nauseating) suggesting that this is something they can’t help (as if that even f*cking matters) and that they need understanding and compassion because of the terrible social stigma they suffer. There are parents letting their eight-year olds dress in drag and dance on a pole for leering adult perverts, and this is applauded as progressive. I’m sure that if an eight-year old’s concept of sexuality is developed enough to choose their own gender, or dress in drag, then surely they are able to enter into a loving, consensual, sexual relationship with an adult man, right?

Look at all the support James Gunn has gotten for this from his celebrity pals. Michael Ian Black and Patton Oswalt obviously don’t think it’s a big deal to “joke” about it.

More Hollywood Celebrities’ Tweets Surface Involving Pedophilia and Child Rape July 22, 2018

After James Gunn was fired by Disney for a number of sickening tweets involving pedophilia and child rape, more celebrities’ old Tweets are being exposed which cover the same subject. Those celebrities include Sarah Silverman, who stars in Disney’s upcoming Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It-Ralph 2, Ian Michael Black, who previously starred in Reno 911, Sean Gunn, James Gunn’s brother, who stars in Guardians of the Galaxy as well as Gilmore Girls, comedian Anthony Jeselnik, and Patton Oswalt, who lends his voice to a number of animated cartoons like Justice League Action, Spider-Man, and Disney’s Big Hero 6.

Many of these celebrities are claiming these Tweets are merely just “jokes.” Here’s a sample of some of the more tame ones. You can see more in the link above.

Mike Cernovich, who has been instrumental in exposing these Tweets plans to call for Congress to begin an investigation into Hollywood’s “casting couch and child grooming practices.”

How do you think this would’ve played out if James Gunn had hundreds (maybe thousands) of tweets like “Black Panther was so good I burned a cross in the black neighbor’s yard”, or “Getting my hanging rope ready, tying a noose is f*cking hard!” Or how about animal cruelty? “Drowned some puppies by the river” or “Emptied a can of hairspray into a cat’s face; ever seen a p*ussy burn?” How forgiving do you think the Left would be about this kind of “edgy” humor?

Sh*t, they just put a guy in jail in England for teaching his girlfriend’s pug the sieg heil and to respond excitedly to the phrase “gas the Jews”. I’m sure right now some survey is being conducted in Marxist universities around the country that shows the students think being racist is worse than being a pedophile. This world is all f*cked up people. The sad truth is that this problem is epidemic in this country (and the world) and nobody left of center seems to be too concerned about it. For all I f*cking know, whoever Disney replaces Gunn with will be a rapist/pedo too, so does it even f*cking matter? That’s it, ok, enough, I’m going to my bathroom to puke all these sh*t-covered black pills up and going to bed. I’m sure Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 will be awesome . . .

UPDATE: Looks like Mr. Gunn even frequented pedophile themed costume parties…

Corey Feldman warned us Hollywood was like this…

Suicide Squad Director Named in Underage Sex Assault Lawsuit for Hosting Pedophile-Themed Party
Jack Posobiec – August 13, 2021

James Euringer, lead singer and songwriter of Mindless Self Indulgence, has been accused of sexual battery of a minor, according to a lawsuit filed in the New York Supreme Court on Monday.

RollingStone.com: In the suit, he woman, whose identity was left anonymous because she was a minor at the time, claims that she had a sexual relationship with Euringer for over two years — from January 1997 to June 1999 — starting when she was 15 years old and Euringer was 27. Euringer, the suit alleges, “groomed and manipulated [her] into believing that his sexually assaultive behavior was not criminal and that by engaging in sexual activity with him Plaintiff was actually helping to protect younger girls from sexual assaults.”

Euringer knew the accuser was a minor, according to the suit, having at one point written her a letter wishing her a happy 15th birthday. “During this time, Euringer acted as and treated Plaintiff as though she was his girlfriend and the two were in a consensual relationship,” says the suit, adding that Euringer manipulated her into thinking that their relationship protected younger minors from him.

Throughout the relationship, Euringer took pictures of her naked and requested that she “act like a small child, and suck her thumb, drool, and pee in her pants,” during sexual acts, according to the suit. Euringer allegedly bought the accuser a fake ID so she could go to concerts with him and drink alcohol. After the girl was convinced they were in a relationship, Euringer also allegedly tried to hide their relationship by telling her not to act affectionately with him while in public. The suit claims the woman has suffered emotional distress since the relationship started.

Over the course of five albums beginning with 1999’s Tight, the group has built their brand, in part, on their shock tactics. As the suit shows, the band put out an advertisement in 1996 searching for a drummer, stating they were looking for someone who didn’t “mind drumming for a band of pedophiles.” The album artwork for Tight features a closeup drawing of what appears to be a young girl’s underwear. The Euringer-written song “Panty Shot” contains lyrics about life having meaning when a 5-year-old spreads her legs, with the song’s narrator noting that they “didn’t touch her” but idealized the action.

On one occasion, the suit alleges, Euringer held up a sign during one of his shows that said “Kisses $1, V.D. Free,” before going into the crowd collecting money and kissing attendees, including young girls.

At another show in Michigan in 1999, he was arrested for indecent exposure for exposing his penis onstage, the suit says. “I got arrested at Cobo Arena [Detroit],” Euringer said last year. “Of all the people on that tour, I get busted for whipping out my cock and lighting myself on fire. I spent the weekend in jail, actually. They didn’t even give me a phone call. And I still had my whole pink outfit and dress on in jail. It was fun.”

Beyond the allegations against Euringer, Warner Music Group Corp, WMG’s former parent company Warner Communications LLC and Elektra Entertainment Group (Mindless Self Indulgence’s label until 2002) are all named as defendants alongside the band’s former manager and producer Joseph Galus. The suit accuses Elektra and Galus of negligence and aiding and abetting sexual battery, and that the two knew about and enabled Euringer’s behavior.

Elektra allegedly helped develop Mindless Self Indulgence tour T-shirts that featured a photo of the girl while she was still a minor, and an Elektra A&R executive who worked closely with the group saw Euringer frequently touching and kissing the girl during recording sessions and other outings, as did Galus. The suit claims that Galus and Elektra either knew or should have known of Euringer’s alleged behavior.

“With their knowledge, relationship to Euringer, and control over Euringer, his shows, his music, and at times his access to minors, Defendants had the opportunity and ability to stop Euringer’s sexual assaults, and to protect Plaintiff and others, but did not,” the suit reads.

According to documents obtained by Human Events News, the lawsuit also claims that Euringer attended a pedophile-themed party, hosted by Marvel director James Gunn, while dressed in a full-body rabbit suit.

BoundingIntoComics.com: In a section of the summons titled “Euringer is a Self-Identified and Self-Promoted Pedophile,” The Suicide Squad director James Gunn’s name comes up.

Page 13, Section 41:
Knowledge and reports of Euringer’s pedophilia continue to circulate to this day. Recently, pictures of Euringer’s wife, Chantal, and a man wearing a masked full-body rabbit suit at a pedophile themed party surfaced publicly. Upon information and belief, the man wearing the rabbit suit is Euringer. That party was hosted by director James Gunn, and upon information and belief, attendees to the party were encouraged to dress like pedophiles and abuse victims, such as children. A copy of these pictures are annexed hereto, marked “EXHIBIT C,” and hereby made a part hereof.

There’s a war between some very vocal JG fans and some very vocal ZS, HC and GG fans. There’s also a war between some very vocal lefties and some very vocal righties. I

Apparently, JG is a lefty.

I think JG might be aware of these wars bc it looks like he’s trying to give his image a polish by posting a lot of charities that he supports. That’s good, but it won’t change that he’s a pedophile, in my book. Being a pedophile doesn’t mean you want the whole world to burn. It means, to keep it simple, that you have an unhealthy attraction for kids (younger than 12). And JG’s output strongly suggest he fantasizes about molesting kids, among other disturbing things. IMO, only a pedophile would be so invested in pedo stuff. This is not a joke to shock or get a reaction. This is not an incident just for fun.

To be clear, I’m not saying that JG molested any kids. Not all pedophiles molest kids. Many try their best to control their attraction for kids.

JG issued an apology [in July 2018].
I’ve developed as a person
It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago

If the wars go viral, expect JG to say he’s not the same man anymore. But IMO, he still is. He just can’t do disturbing stuff like he used to bc he’s more known now. GOTG really put him on the map. The scrutiny has intensified too. Also, social media is a b*tch. Many people, including JG, found that out the hard way.

JG issued an apology [in July 2018].
For the record, when I made these shocking jokes, I wasn’t living them out. I know this is a weird statement to make, and seems obvious, but, still here I am, saying it.

Well, while tweeting disturbing things isn’t exactly illegal, collecting/looking/exchanging naked pics of kids is. So let’s hope rumors are false and those things didn’t really happen at JG’s pedo-themed parties.

JG apologized for the tweets. There’s nothing about pedo-themed parties and the many sex offenders he surrounds himself with.

He’s friends with those scums bc they won’t mind when he does disturbing stuff.

So, be aware that some info might be new; therefore, it could be shocking.

I only knew about the disturbing tweets. Pedo-themed parties and friends with sex offenders are new to me.

It turns out that Disney hired Brian Peck, who had been convicted on two counts of sexually abusing minor when he was with Nickelodeon, to work on the kids’ show “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Peck worked on “Growing Pains” prior to his arrest with producer Steve Marshall, who also happened to be arrested for distribution of child pornography. By the way, Bob Villard, Leonardo DiCaprio’s publicist (did you know Leo was on “Growing Pains”?) was also arrested for child molestation. Villard was friends with child talent agent Marty Weiss, who worked on iCarly and some other kids’ shows, and who was also arrested. Any guess as to what he was arrested for? Child molestation? Oh yeah, I remember. Peck also worked with Dan Schneider on the Nickelodeon show “All That.”

The Variety story on this makes no mention of the years-long rumors that Dan had a foot fetish for his young stars and allegedly had relations with underage girls that he in turn helped with their careers. Also Peck was in two of the X-Men movies, directed by his (alleged) pedo buddy Bryan Singer, and he’s also friends with well-known sexual deviant Charlie Sheen, whose ex-wife Denise Richards claims had child porn on his computer in their divorce papers. Did I mention that Bryan Singer’s friend Marc Collins-Rector was arrested for transportation of a minor with the intent to engage in sexual activity?

This is beyond bizarre. But it could explain why WBD would keep EZ as the flash. He’s one of them. It could also explain why WBD would choose someone like JG to be the co-head of DC Studios.

The Euringer-written song “Panty Shot” contains lyrics about life having meaning when a 5-year-old spreads her legs, with the song’s narrator noting that they “didn’t touch her” but idealized the action

The record label really let them put that in a song for their studio album? I’m glad I don’t know that band.

A pedo-themed party. What’s next? A rape-themed party? An incest-themed party?

JG knows. The wars are partially about his DC decisions and those decisions caused the backlash.

Deadline: Fisher’s comments come as Gunn took to Twitter to address the backlash he has received from some fans over the decisions he and Peter Safran are making for the DC Universe.

Ray Fisher

The way @JamesGunn uses fake grace on Twitter is really funny.

Him going to bat for Joss Whedon, pseudo-apologizing for it, and then deleting it immediately before taking his new DC job is not.

Refusing to apologize for toxic behavior seems to be a job requirement for WB/DC

ALL my tweets automatically delete every few months, Ray, it has nothing to do with my tweets to you.

The timing is sus, though.

Some people use freedom of speech to say all kinds of things. Some people use art to do all kinds of things.

RF is wrong. These are the job requirements:

1. Be a perverted creep.
2. Have tunnel vision.
3. Be capable of making reckless, hasty, awful decisions.
4. Be capable of making decisions that will anger a lot of people.
5. Be capable of making extremely risky decisions that could cost WBD millions.

JG likes inappropriate jokes, right? Pedo jokes, right? Well, he’ll love this one. While his wife is giving him vajayjay for roles in the sh*t he makes, she should make sure she doesn’t get preggers. Babies can’t tell mommy what daddy did to them when she’s not around. The poor wife will have to take the babies to their pediatrician every day. Isn’t that hilarious?

Remember when Gina Carano was fired for comparing the treatment of Jews during the holocaust to the US political climate? That’s what will happen when you’re a woman. When you’re a man, you can be a pedophile, write pedophile jokes, organize pedophile-themed parties, be friends with sex offenders and you will get re-hired and even become the face of a film studio. Heck, sex offenders get hired to work on kid shows.

UPDATE: Looks like Mr. Gunn even frequented pedophile themed costume parties…

According to documents obtained by Human Events News, the lawsuit also claims that Euringer attended a pedophile-themed party, hosted by Marvel director James Gunn, while dressed in a full-body rabbit suit.

When Disney fired JG, it was said that he attended/frequented pedo-themed parties. Now he hosted them.

Then there was the NAMBLA jokes he exchanged with Lloyd Kaufman, his “men-tor” and the co-founder of Troma Studios (you know, Toxic Avenger and sh*t). There’s plenty to suggest Kaufman was no stranger to smut, having directed several porn films in the early 70’s, as well as having a 15-year old girl, Kansas Bowling, as his “protégé”. (Kansas directed the Satanic-as-f*ck video for the Death Valley Girls at age 15, later going on to make a video where she and her sister sucked on ping pong balls, force fed each other pizza, and got led around like dogs in their panties by Kansas’ 70-year old boyfriend Rodney Bingenheimer).

That Lloyd Kaufman was at JG’s wedding. And the author means Namibia? What joke was made?

I certainly don’t think it was that they gave a sh*t about James Gunn not being representative of their values as a company. I mean, James Gunn does a web series called “PG Porn” that is crude and vulgar as sh*t. He’s been doing it since 2008.** I guess no one at Disney knew this, or maybe didn’t care?

So there is a porn show? When JG’s disgusting tweets were the talk of the day, some posters on Tumblr mentioned the porn show when they said that JG is worse than James Franco. Allegedly, he created scenarios to see the actresses naked and touch them. It was rehearsal. Then they found out that he had no intention of putting those scenes in the show and/or those scenes weren’t in the script. Also, some eps were so disgusting that the channel or platform refused to broadcast them.

The Euringer-written song “Panty Shot” contains lyrics about life having meaning when a 5-year-old spreads her legs, with the song’s narrator noting that they “didn’t touch her” but idealized the action.

Give me satanic lyrics. Let’s worship Satan and stuff like that. IMO, that’s just crazy and scary. Heck, it can even pass as “cool.” lol But this pedo sh*t is just disgusting and infuriating. How can you stand being around someone who fantasizes about child abuse or thinks child abuse is a joke? If you think that’s OK, what does that say about you?

@HCFan said:

Those things are the first things that popped into my head when I read pedo-themed party. What kind of people go to a pedo-themed party? Here, if the police department that handles child abuse stuff hear that you host pedo or pedo-themed parties, they will keep an eye on you and start an investigation. In the US nobody seems to care. Here, people will distance themselves from you. Your employer will look for a reason to fire you or your colleagues will make your life a living hell that you’ll quit. You may need bodyguards each time you leave the house, because guys may beat you up.

The poor wife should be extra careful if she has boys. JG’s pedo fantasies disguised as “jokes” are about doing horrible, disgusting things to little boys.

Is the poor wife really “poor”? Will she care? She knows what kind of man she’s married to. She’s as disturbed and gross as he is, whether she married him for love or to further her career.

@AnnaB said:

And the author means Namibia?

No, NAMBLA is short for North American Man/Boy Love Association. According to Wiki, NAMBLA is a pedophilia and pederasty advocacy organization in the United States. It works to abolish age-of-consent laws criminalizing adult sexual involvement with minors and campaigns for the release of men who have been jailed for sexual contacts with minors that did not involve what it considers coercion.

What joke was made?

Was the NAMBLA Tweets a joke? I don’t see why I should take them as a joke. Off the top of my head, in one Tweet, Lloyd Kaufman thanks JG for not revealing that he men- tored him at NAMBLA meetings. In another Tweet, I think JG wrote or agreed that at his first NAMBLA meeting, for the first time, he felt OK being who he is. Some NAMBLA members are still his BBF’s.

@HCFan said:

Didn’t JG say something about raping his future daughter or some crap like that?

Anyway, maybe we’ll get a little rifle or little Netherlands soon. The “poor” wife is 35. The perfect age to get pregnant. And Peacemaker S02 is being delayed. So she might bless and confirm her love for her a pedo hubby with a child during this hiatus.

That’s shocking to you? Well, I’m not shocked at all. I heard some things about blondie that did shock me too, back in the days. Not anymore, though. So, steel yourself, girl. You know me, I don’t like to talk about anybody. But last I heard, blondie was in latex pants and tube top at a festival called HellFest. Uh-huh, you read that right. But you heard nothing from me. I said nothing.

NAMBLA is short for North American Man/Boy Love Association. According to Wiki, NAMBLA is a pedophilia and pederasty advocacy organization in the United States. It works to abolish age-of-consent laws criminalizing adult sexual involvement with minors and campaigns for the release of men who have been jailed for sexual contacts with minors that did not involve what it considers coercion.

Such organization can exist in the US.

PS Was blondie headbanging to Iron Maiden?

This disgusting story belongs in this disgusting thread. A female director was replaced with a male pervert, who decided to change the theme of the project and completely rewrote her work. I'm shocked.

‘The Idol’: How HBO’s Next ‘Euphoria’ Became Twisted ‘Torture Porn’

The first public inkling of trouble came last April, when director Amy Seimetz, […], suddenly exited with roughly 80 percent of the six-episode series finished. HBO addressed the news by confirming The Idol was set to have a major creative overhaul and would be adjusting the cast and crew. There was little explanation for the shakeup, except for reports that Tesfaye, who is co-creator, felt the show was heading too much into a “female perspective.”

In interviews with 13 members of the show’s cast and crew, Rolling Stone has learned the drastic delay was caused by Levinson taking over as director and scrapping the nearly-finished $54-75 million project to rewrite and reshoot the entire thing.

With Seimetz out of the picture, HBO handed the reins to Levinson, only to have him weaken the show’s overarching message, many sources say, by dialing up the disturbing sexual content and nudity to match — and even surpass — that of his most successful show, Euphoria.

Four sources say that Levinson ultimately scrapped Seimetz’s approach to the story, making it less about a troubled starlet falling victim to a predatory industry figure and fighting to reclaim her own agency, and more of a degrading love story with a hollow message that some crew members describe as being offensive.

“It was like any rape fantasy that any toxic man would have in the show — and then the woman comes back for more because it makes her music better,” one production member explains of Levinson’s version.

Levinson was largely absent from The Idol’s set early on, his time instead devoted to wrapping up Euphoria’s second season, which was being filmed on the lot next door. (One of the first times two crew members recall seeing Levinson physically on the Idol set was a few weeks into production, which was also the day Depp was filming her first intimate scene with Tesfaye.)

Of those who worked on the production’s first iteration, many say they were fans of the original script, describing it as a layered narrative that was driving home a message about the trappings and exploitations of fame.

HBO executives and Tesfaye were supposedly pleased with Seimetz’s early cuts and the show’s direction, according to a personal familiar with the matter. However, when the show went on a break in April before the finale episode was to be filmed things drastically changed. Seimetz was out and Levinson was stepping in.

A report from April blamed the show’s overhaul on Tesfaye, who was reportedly unhappy that the story was focusing too much on Depp’s character, according to Deadline. A source with knowledge seconds that Tesfaye was the reason behind the shakeup, wanting to tone down the cult aspect of the storyline and pivot into something else entirely, dropping the “feminist lens” through which the show was being told as a result. “It was like the Weeknd wanted one show that was all about him — Sam was on board with that,” another source explains to Rolling Stone.

A major concern among the crew, according to four production sources, was Levinson chipping away at the show’s original messaging, creating a distorted and jarring story that lost its overall impact. (Although Tesfaye is credited as co-creator and a writer, three crew members with knowledge of the situation claim he barely touched a script during the reshoots.) “It was a show about a woman who was finding herself sexually, turned into a show about a man who gets to abuse this woman and she loves it.”

At various points, Levinson’s scripts contained disturbing sexual and physically violent scenes between Depp and Tesfaye’s characters, three sources familiar with the matter claim. In one draft episode, there allegedly was a scene where Tesfaye bashes in Depp’s face, and her character smiles and asks to be beaten more, giving Tesfaye an erection. (This scene was never shot, the source says.)

IndieWire: **

HBO’s ‘The Idol’ Controversy Suggests The Weeknd Has an Auteur Problem (Column)**
Should successful actors produce? Sure. But that doesn't mean they should call the shots.

Much of this troubled story isn’t new: As I reported in this column last year, series director Amy Seimetz was pushed out after Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, the series’ star and co-creator with Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim, took issue with the show’s so-called “female perspective.”

“Euphoria” creator Levinson was already an executive producer on “The Idol” — the shows shared multiple producers — but with Seimetz’s exit, he became its writer and director. Anonymous sources have assailed the revised show for containing draft scripts steeped in sexual violence, including one scrapped scene in which Tesfaye’s character gets an erection while assaulting his romantic partner, played by Lily Rose-Depp.

As much as the internet-fueled rage machine may want to take issue with Levinson for conceiving of such grotesque material, in all likelihood, he’s operating in deference to his star. Nobody’s talking, but when I heard about the aforementioned scene, it sounded oddly familiar — and then I realized that it was essentially stolen from Takashi Miike’s “Ichi the Killer,” the ultra-gory 2001 Japanese cult classic featuring a murderer aroused when he kills.

And, it just so happens, that Tesfaye acquired the English-language remake rights to “Ichi the Killer” a few years ago, going so far as hiring Paul Schrader to write a script — then ghosting him. “I asked if he was sure he wanted to play Ichi,” Schrader told me when I asked about their initial exchange. “Ichi was a supporting character. He said he did. That made me think he hadn’t given the venture a lot of thought. Ichi was in the title, so of course he wanted to be Ichi.”

It’s also possible that once Tesfaye moved on from that idea, he decided to sublimate it into another project. By all indications, “The Idol” is The Weeknd’s project first and a “From the Creator of ‘Euphoria'” joint second. The same guy who bankrolled his own Super Bowl performance seems to have bought his way into the extended universe of HBO’s most-watched series after “Game of Thrones.”

Another proposed scenario was for Depp to carry an egg in her vagina and if she dropped or cracked the egg, Tesfaye’s character would refuse to “rape” her — which sent Depp’s character into a spiral, begging him to “rape” her because she believed he was the key to her success. (This scene also was not filmed because production couldn’t find a way to realistically shoot the scene without having Depp physically insert the egg, another source explains.)

“It was like, ‘What is this? What am I reading here?’” one of the sources says. “It was like sexual torture porn.”

Although Seimetz’s version of The Idol was also going to contain sex scenes and nudity, production sources claim Levinson dramatically ramped up the explicit content — a move that is quickly becoming his calling card. During both seasons of Euphoria, Levinson faced criticism for employing often gratuitous nudity in a show about teenagers. Actresses on that series, including Sydney Sweeney and Minka Kelly, have lightly danced around the subject in interviews, but admitted they pushed back on some of Levinson’s requests for even more nude scenes. “There are moments where Cassie was supposed to be shirtless and I would tell Sam, ‘I don’t really think that’s necessary here.’ He was like, ‘OK, we don’t need it,’” Sweeney told The Independent.

“It’s almost such an extreme that it’s like, there is no message,” one Idol crew member says. “There is no point. They’re just trying to see how much of a reaction they can get.”

But to see an entire $54-75 million first production scrapped for the remaking of the same show, now with an untold budget and endless resources at hand, struck some production members as wasteful. One crew member, noting their decades-long experience in Hollywood, says while there is plenty of excess spending in the entertainment industry, throwing away Seimetz’s version of The Idol to redo the same show was probably “the most egregious I’ve ever witnessed in this business.”

The decision is especially surprising in light of HBO’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, slashing hundreds of jobs last year with plans to cut $4 billion in costs across the board. (Last summer, HBO and HBO Max had a restructuring and 70 people were laid off. Most shocking was the decision to can the completed $78 million Batgirl DC film that was supposed to stream exclusively on HBO Max.)

“This was such a strong example of just how far [Levinson] can really push HBO and they will continue to cover [him] because he brings in money,” a second says. “He’s able to walk away unscathed and everybody still wants to work with him… People ignore the red flags and follow him regardless.”

Organizations like that do exist, but you only hear from the leaders. They’re like three or four people. They’re rich (heirs) or they’re supported by donation from other members so they don’t have to work. They do live a pretty reclusive life. In the US things are different. A pedophile can be the CEO of a film studio.

I’m in pain. I imagine serious headache from just the music. And you have to headbang too? Did I mention the latex pants look painful? It looks so tight and sticky. How do you pull it up? It looks like it cuts the blood circulation. Can you even wear underwear?

This is so disappointing. I like Weeknd’s music. If we get a dime for each pervert male artist/celeb, we all would be freaking rich. Maybe I should stop being fans of male artist/celebs.

There were rumors that The Idol got canceled after two eps. Then, HBO would cancel it an ep early (five instead of six eps). Neither rumor is true.

Vox: When the show premiered at Cannes in May — and HBO’s hopes were still presumably high — it was listed as a five-episode series, ostensibly signaling that part of the overhaul would be trimming the show from six to five episodes. Tesfaye, in an interview with GQ in June, also referred to the show as a “five-hour” experience. While it may make for a juicy story and affirm some beliefs that The Idol is as bad as (or even worse than) its haters say it is, the show, since its premiere, was always going to end after five. The finale will air on Sunday [July 2nd] as planned, with no second season in sight.

“It was a show about a woman who was finding herself sexually, turned into a show about a man who gets to abuse this woman and she loves it.”

A while back, we were talking about old hags fantasizing about being raped by celebs. At least, those freaks just fantasize. If you’re a man in Hollywood, you can come close to really experiencing raping someone.

I, for one, was never shocked. I always knew blondie was the poster child for looks can be deceiving.

I love the old gossipy aunt act, but HellFest is just a festival with a cool name. Many kids want to say they went to HellFest to look cool. They probably don’t even like Metal. I hear they included Rock now.

It will look better without. But no undies is just nasty. Noting sexy about that. A thong will do just fine. You need to really focus on my crotch to see a vague line. Only pervs will do that.

Those pants are evil. It triggers weird voices in your head. lol When you put it on, it looks like you gain weight.

My height (177 cm) should weight 58 kg to have a “healthy” BMI. Doctors are clever. That’s when you use the value of the square of the body height without rounding it. When you round it to a whole number, I should weight 55.5 kg. That’s the kind of thing the voices will tell you. lol Of course, I listened and went on a crash diet to lose 2.5 kg in nine days. I lost 2.7 kg and l looked fatter than before. I almost wore something else. lol

Firstly, you shouldn’t round it, because it’s supposed to calculate your BMI as accurately as possible.

Secondly, fatter than before? That means… you think you’re fat? OK, that’s scary. Why do tall girls want to be so skinny? I do crash diets too. Guilty! I live on water, coffee and Cup-a-Soup for three/four days to lose two/three pounds to wear a skimpy bikini for a beach party. But I do it because I think… or the voices tell me… the phone cams add two/three pounds, not because I think I’m fat. You’re taller than 173 cm, but you weight the same as me. That’s not good. Try to ignore the voices. Our health might actually… benefit from a very… fat… unhealthy burger.
