Squid Game contestant alleges Netflix's involvement in sexual requests
Squid Game competitor alleges Netflix's controversial request for sexual activities, further adding to the intrigue surrounding the hit show
New information has continued to emerge about the behind-the-scenes of Squid Game. One popular player has recently revealed that "Netflix pushed for us to engage in sexual activity." The finale of Squid Game: The Challenge was released on Netflix earlier this month, ultimately declaring Mai Whelan, also known as Player 287, as the winner of the historic $4.56 million prize.
Throughout the journey, there were triumphs and setbacks, antagonists and protagonists, along with an abundance of excitement both in front of and behind the camera. The show also established the groundwork for one of Netflix's most popular reality series, prompting thousands of fans to eagerly apply for Season 2.
As we anticipate news about the upcoming season, beloved contestant and Mai's close associate Roland Hannigan (Player 418) has divulged a particularly candid account of his experience on the show.
Squid Game player claims “Netflix wanted us to have sex”
Roland and Player 301, also known as fellow Squid Game: The Challenge icon Trey Plutnicki, have collaboratively launched a new podcast on Roland's YouTube channel. During the podcast, Roland made a statement, saying, “I swear Netflix wanted us to have sex."
He explains to Trey, "Just to clarify, not you and me," before going into more detail about what he's trying to convey. "They were looking for someone to have sex with because they emphasized that we hadn't been tested for STDs. And they were very clear that they wouldn't intervene or stop us."
Roland also mentioned that Netflix producers "placed a lot of condoms in the shower room," to which Trey follows up with, "The condoms ran out. There must have been hundreds... The condoms weren't used for sex, at least not that I'm aware of."
Reportedly, there were a few "narrow escapes," with "a few people getting dangerously close." However, the condoms were mainly used for one purpose: lip balm.
As previously reported to Dexerto, players went without lip balm for days, which made living in the dorms challenging – especially in the chilly British climate. Consequently, some players turned to using condom lubricant to hydrate their lips.
Trey recalls, "The condoms were used on lips, but definitely not for fun. Everyone's lips were chapped after being out in the cold for so long during Red Light Green Light." Roland also experienced this and mentions the lack of chapstick or vaseline for days in dorm life. He tried lotion and conditioner to keep his lips moisturized, but neither he nor Trey resorted to the condom hack.
As Roland pointed out, "There are cameras everywhere. I wasn't going to take the risk of being caught on camera doing something like that." It's understandable. You can now stream Squid Game: The Challenge on Netflix, and find more coverage on our site.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am deeply concerned about the recent allegations made by a Squid Game contestant regarding Netflix's involvement in sexual requests. It is disturbing and unacceptable that the streaming platform would allegedly push contestants to engage in sexual activities. This raises serious ethical concerns and questions the integrity of the show. Netflix should thoroughly investigate these allegations and take appropriate action to ensure the safety and well-being of its contestants.
Furthermore, the revelation that condoms were placed in the shower room and that some contestants used them as lip balm due to the lack of proper lip care products is indicative of poor planning and disregard for the contestants' basic needs. It is essential that Netflix prioritize the welfare of its participants and provide them with the necessary resources and support during filming. I hope that Netflix will take these allegations seriously and implement measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
