The 23-year-old actress, known for her role in "Euphoria," has supported the show's creator, Sam Levinson, against accusations of turning the series into "torture porn and a rape fantasy." According to People, Depp emphasized the significance of the character's raunchiness in capturing the essence of her role as aspiring singer Jocelyn.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Depp stated, "Jocelyn is a born and bred performer. And I think that extends to every aspect of her life, not just her professional life." She further explained that the character's style of dress is a form of self-expression, adding, "I also think that the occasional bareness of the character physically mirrors the bareness that we get to see emotionally in her."

Depp expressed her gratitude for being involved in the creation of the character and the exploration of her self-expression. "The Idol" received a five-minute standing ovation at Cannes, where it premiered ahead of its release on June 5. Levinson, who also stars in the show alongside The Weeknd, described the experience as gaining a family and addressed the sexualized nature of today's world and its influence on young people.
