A brief conversation revealed that Jocelyn is far from being the saddest character of her own tragedy.
HBO's The Idol is a tragedy. Whether it works as one or not is another matter entirely, but, still, the show focuses on the downfall of a mentally unstable pop star who starts a relationship with a shady cult leader. Shot through Sam Levinson's exploitative lenses, that value pain and sex above everything else, there is little to no levity to be found in such a series.
Upon meeting Dee, Chloe pulls her aside and shows her some of her music. Dee is immediately taken by Chloe's unique voice and command of the piano. After giving her some vocal advice, she starts asking her questions about how she came to live with Tedros. Joyous as ever, Chloe responds that Tedros saved her life. According to her, she used to live in the streets before Tedros came along and gave her a place at his nightclub.
And therein lies the great tragedy of Chloe's character: she never had anything close to a healthy, happy life. The only escape that was offered her from her 17 years of trauma and abuse was more abuse. After all, The Idol makes it pretty clear to everyone that Tedros assaults his followers physically, emotionally, and sexually on a regular basis. There is nothing to suggest that Chloe is immune to that.
