Devin talks about assault scene in '13 Reasons Why'

Los Angeles: Actor Devin Druid defended the controversial sexual assault scene from the second season of '13 Reasons Why'.

The season of the controversial Netflix show saw Druid's character, Tyler Down, brutally assaulted as Montgomery de la Cruz (played by Timothy Granaderos) sodomises him with a mop handle, which garnered criticism from many viewers. Druid thinks the team has always tried portraying difficult moments without feeling the need to "sugarcoat" or "censor".

"I think people are always going to have opinions on the show and what we do, but I think it's staying true to what the show has been about," Druid told Entertainment Tonight. He said it is their responsibility to accurately portray "the pain and humiliation" on men on screen.
