Johnny Depp expressed his pride in his daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, for taking on a scandalous role in the HBO series ‘The Idol’.

The 24-year-old actress plays the character of Jocelyn, a singer who suffered a breakdown while on tour.

She later meets the mysterious nightclub impresario Tedros, played by The Weeknd.

The show has received criticism due to its s**ually explicit content, including masturbation, throttling, and explicit selfies of Lily-Rose.

Despite the backlash, Johnny is unfazed and believes that his daughter must be doing something right to have gained so much attention.

A source close to him told DailyMail.com that he loves that Lily-Rose is carving out her own career and challenging herself to take on roles that interest and test her.

He is proud that she is becoming her own actress and not resting her career on his success.

He admires her strength, especially in the face of the recent attention surrounding her role in ‘The Idol’.

The spokesperson for Johnny declined to comment on the matter.

When asked if the treatment of female sexuality in ‘The Idol’ had gone too far, creator Sam Levinson replied that we live in a very sexualized world, especially in the States, and porn’s influence is strong in the psyche of young people.

The show features several explicit scenes, including one particular s**ual encounter involving a knife which almost ends with Tedros throttling Jocelyn.

Lily-Rose herself had previously come out in defense of the show and its creator after members of the crew spoke anonymously to Rolling Stone for a piece in which they said Sam had cranked up the show’s nudity, s**, and violence to exploitative levels.

She praised Sam as the best director she had ever worked with and said that she felt supported and respected in a creative space.

She added that working with Sam is a true collaboration in every way, and he values his actors’ thoughts and opinions.

Lily-Rose also told People that the raunchiness in ‘The Idol’ is very important in portraying her character.

However, the series received negative reviews from both critics and viewers alike, with many questioning why Lily-Rose’s character was always n^ked.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Lovia Gyarkye called the show ‘toxic’ and ‘disturbing’, while Variety claimed that it had scandalized Cannes at its premiere.

Critics Matt Donnelly and Zack Sharf spoke about some of the controversial s**ual portrayals on the show and referred to the revenge p^rn photos of bodily fluids on Depp’s face, masturbation with ice cubes, nightclub-owning scam artists, and vile Hollywood sycophants that populated the first two episodes of the already-controversial series.

Despite the criticism, Johnny remains proud of his daughter and her success.

He loves that she is not afraid to challenge herself and take on roles that interest her, and he supports her decision to become her own actress and not rely on his success.

He believes that she must be doing something right to have gained so much attention and does not lend anything to the extra chatter and drama surrounding the show.

In conclusion, Johnny Depp expressed his support for his daughter Lily-Rose Depp’s role in the s**ually charged series ‘The Idol’.

Despite the backlash, he remains proud of her and believes that she is carving out a career of her own by taking on challenging roles that test and interest her.

Although the show has attracted criticism for its explicit content, Lily-Rose and creator Sam Levinson have defended it as an artistic portrayal of female sexuality in a sexualized world.
