“The Idol” has been the talk of the town even before its premiere. This groundbreaking Max series, a collaboration between Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson, has faced criticism for its explicit sex scenes and provocative content. From the beginning, it was clear that “The Idol” was not going to shy away from controversy. The show, which follows troubled pop star Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp, and her entanglement with the enigmatic Tedros, portrayed by Tesfaye himself, has captivated audiences with its dark and twisted plot.
But the criticism doesn’t stop there. Even a well-known snack brand like Oreo couldn’t resist chiming in. When rumors circulated that the show might be canceled after just one season, the official Oreo account didn’t hold back. In a tweet on June 15, Oreo sarcastically celebrated the news, showing their disapproval of Max’s latest production. This wasn’t the only sassy remark from Oreo. On June 19, in response to a comment suggesting that “The Idol” doesn’t live up to the quality of other Max shows, Oreo tweeted, “where’s the lie.” It seems like Oreo has joined the growing list of critics finding fault with “The Idol.”
Tesfaye, however, isn’t one to back down. In a recent interview with Variety, he admitted that he and Levinson expected negative reactions to the show. Despite this awareness, viewers and even cookie makers continue to criticize the series for its explicit and violent portrayal of sex and fame. Oreo’s pointed remarks didn’t sit well with Tesfaye, and he fired back, threatening to dunk the cookie in milk. He couldn’t help but notice Oreo’s previous tweet and exclaimed, “Oh f–k they been talkin s–t.”
The Twitterverse couldn’t help but react to this unexpected feud. Some found it amusing, while others felt it was unnecessary for Tesfaye to engage with a snack brand. Eventually, Tesfaye had a change of heart and decided to make peace. He assured Oreo that he couldn’t hold a grudge against them because of the memories they shared, and even joked about dunking the cookie in champagne.
Responding to Tesfaye’s conciliatory gesture, Oreo waved the white flag and expressed their loyalty to him. They didn’t want any hard feelings and made it clear that they would stand by him. With that, it seems the feud between “The Idol” and Oreo has come to an end, with a possible truce in the making.
Despite the controversy and mixed opinions, “The Idol” continues to intrigue audiences and spark conversations. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying the impact this provocative series has had.
