‘Switching off – this is SICK’ say horrified White Lotus fans as show airs incest scenes for second week in a row
WHITE Lotus fans have ‘switched off’ after the hit show aired incest scenes for the second week in a row.
Last week viewers were left in disbelief as the programme’s incest plot turned up a gear.
They watched as brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola) shared a passionate kiss while in Thailand.
But this week The White Lotus horrified fans even more by showing Saxon performing a sex act on his own brother – while having sex with Charlotte Le Bon’s character Chloe.
The disturbing scenes took place on a luxury yacht, which is owned by Chloe’s boyfriend Greg Hunt.
Following the shock sexual encounter, it was confirmed to viewers that both brothers had blacked out during the night.
Later on in the episode, Saxon found Chloe and Chelsea by the pool and said how kissing his brother was a ‘joke’ and that they both had made them do it.
Swiping back, Chloe declared: “I didn’t force him to jerk you off.”
Meanwhile, Lochlan’s memory of the entire night eventually came flooding back to him whilst meditating in the Buddhist temple with his sister Piper.
Reacting to the shocking episode, one White Lotus viewer said: “Please let there be no more incest pls I’ve had enough.”
A second fumed: “What in the incest going on?”
“The incest brothers are starting to stress me out bad omg,” said a third.
A fourth wrote: “I can’t with the gay brother storyline. It’s so nasty and foul. Incest is so sick and twisted. This plot is making me hate the show.”
A disturbed fifth fan said: “Literally felt sick seeing those flashbacks.”
The White Lotus first sparked speculation of an incest plot when in the first episode, Lochlan appeared to fantasise about seeing his brother Saxon masturbate.
It came as the brothers decided to share a room at the hotel as it would be strange to bunk in with their sister Piper now they were all adults with “full grown genitals”.
Meanwhile, the drama’s executive producer David Bernard defended the incest scenes.
Asked whether they went too far, he replied: “No, in terms of that — that’s all [creator Mike White].
“Mike is brilliant, and I think those big story turns are not just for shock.”
Bernad added to the New York Post: “There’s a specific reason in terms of the narrative storytelling, and the larger thematic idea Mike is trying to get across.
“As the season wraps up, you’ll see the purpose of that story turn. The show goes there for a larger thematic idea. I love that family storyline, especially the brother story — and, it culminates in a very satisfying way.”
