Yes, The Idol may be receiving mixed reviews, but Chloe Fineman‘s spoof on the provocative drama has earned a standing ovation.
Including from the HBO Max show’s stars Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd.
In a now-viral Instagram clip, the Saturday Night Live star is seen impersonating self-destructive singer Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose. Wearing lacy lingerie (backwards, of course) and smoking a cigarette, she asks the camera, “Does my song suck?”
The video then cuts to 34-year-old now smoking a literal handful of cigarettes and in a deep-cut, red silk robe. “Music should sound like a slut or a whore,” she says, later adding, “Music should sound like it’s poly or, like, bi. Like, music doesn’t have a gender. It f–ks, you know?”
She goes on to explain how she met Tedros (The Weeknd’s self-help guru and maybe a cult leader) in a club: “I think he’s gonna, like, change my career.” Sureeee.
