Much has been written about The Idol, HBO’s seedy new drama about a young musician’s attempted comeback following a nervous breakdown and her fledgling relationship with a seedy self-help guru that may or may not have done some “dark s***”, as one of the characters claims. Take the moment Tedros snaps at Jocelyn’s best friend-slash-assistant Leia : “I’m running the show now,” he says, smirking. Or when Tedros takes Jocelyn shopping for a full wardrobe revamp at Valentino because he doesn’t think she has “taste”. Prosecutors in Brooklyn said that Daedone and OneTaste’s former head of sales Rachel Cherwitz also subjected members to surveillance in communal homes, instructed them to engage in sex acts for “freedom and enlightenment,” and failed to pay promised wages.
