"The Idol" is accused of promoting rape culture by hypersexualizing the character of Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp. Her father Johnny, who has seen the series, gave his opinion on the very sulphurous role of his daughter.
"He is proud of her and pays no attention to the gossip and controversy that the role arouses," a person close to the actor told the Daily Mail. For his part, Johnny Depp was himself at the heart of a big controversy: his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival outraged feminists.
