BELLA Hadid has fans horrified after the supermodel appeared brutally mangled and bloody in a shocking opening scene in The Beauty.
The first three episodes of Ryan Murphy’s new horror series, The Beauty, premiered on Wednesday, and it already appears to have delivered more than fans bargained for.
What particularly caught viewers’ attention – and deterred others – is a scene at the beginning of the first episode, which features Bella’s character Ruby Rossdale going into a sudden fit of rage on the catwalk.
After ferociously chugging bottles of water, which she snagged from several front row attendees, she attacks the innocent bystanders before racing out of the venue.
Ruby then proceeds to steal a moped and drive erratically down the cobblestone streets, veering in and out of traffic at high speeds.
It wasn’t until she collided with multiple vehicles that she was stopped and briefly surrendered face down on the pavement with numerous visible injuries.
However, before anyone could approach her, Ruby leapt up and hobbled with a severely dislocated and bloodied leg inside a restaurant where she continued her spree of violence.
Bella’s character immediately guzzled more water and angrily reacted when others tried to calm her down.
She again became enraged, taking down anyone in her path before rushing to the bathroom where she splashed toilet bowl and sink water on her face, which appeared to be burning off.
When Ruby walked out of the restroom, an armed civilian was waiting with a gun and shot her in the shoulder in an effort to detain her.
However, Ruby fought back, beating the man to the ground before scampering out of the eatery.
She was then surrounded by a sea of officers aiming their weapons at her and preparing to shoot.
The scene ends with the camera focusing on Ruby’s face as blood pours out of the corner of her eye.
As explained in a description of the scene on YouTube, Ruby’s erratic behavior is due to the side effects of a drug beginning to take over her body.
The gruesome scene made fans’ jaws drop, and many called it “nearly unwatchable” just hours after its release.
“It feels like Murphy casts based on popularity and social media following rather than who actually can act.
“It’s frustrating he does this when they’re so many talented actors in Hollywood that could use the work and also elevate the project,” one person commented in a Reddit thread about the show’s star-studded cast.
“Please stop hate-watching these shows. It only makes the streamers and networks give budgets to people who don’t care and stops those budgets going towards deserving artists,” begged another.
“Ryan Murphy seems far more concerned with a show having the correct look than actually being watchable. And stylistically, I hate the look he goes for,” complained a third.
“To no one’s surprise… I mean, the trailer for this is horrendous,” ripped a fourth.
“The previews make it look like a soap opera level of production version of ‘The Substance,’” someone else remarked, referencing the 2024 sci-fi film led by Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.
A synopsis of the series on IMDb further explains: “Partners Drew Foster and Kara Vaughn investigate ‘the Beauty’ STD causing aesthetic effects but proving lethal, evading corrupt officials and a mercenary targeting them amidst a suspected government conspiracy.”
The show’s creator is also behind the Kim Kardashian-led legal drama, All’s Fair, which debuted on Hulu late last year and became a massive hit.
Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, Evan Peters, and Rebecca Hall also make up The Beauty’s cast, with guest appearances by Meghan Trainor and Ben Platt
New episodes of FX’s The Beauty air on Hulu and Disney+ on Wednesdays.
