White Lotus Season 3 Sparks Outrage Over Incestuous Subplot, Nude Scene

The premiere of Season 3 of HBO's The White Lotus has sparked significant controversy among fans due to potential incestuous undertones involving the Ratliff family. Set in a luxury resort in Thailand, the episode introduces family members Timothy, Victoria, and their children, Piper, Saxon, and Lochlan. Viewers were particularly unsettled by a scene where Saxon, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, discusses inappropriate topics with his younger brother Lochlan, including their sister's virginity and explicit preferences. Fans took to social media expressing their discomfort, with many interpreting the interactions as suggestive of incestuous feelings. The episode also featured a full-frontal scene involving Saxon, further contributing to the shock among audiences. Overall, the combination of explicit content and questionable sibling dynamics has led to a wave of criticism and concern about the show's direction.
