Cringe’s ‘Swarm’ NSFW scene inspired by Donald Glover’s awkward hookup

Let the Internet buzz with Donald Glover’s honeyed thirst traps, as “Swarm” takes you straight back to Glover’s IRL sex life.

Glover’s “Swarm” co-creator Janine Nabers admitted that the Prime Video thriller series used a certain sequence that evokes Glover’s own past sexual encounters. In the pilot episode of “Swarm,” protagonist Dre (Dominique Fishback) is found by a one-night stand (Rory Culkin) who naked offers him a postpartum strawberry, holding the glass bowl right up to his flaccid penis.

“Donald told this really funny story about a girl he really liked, and after they made out, he was standing there with a bowl of cherries and he just said, ‘Hey!'” Nabers said. Insider the Glover. “It was like she didn’t care because it’s so weird to date a guy you barely know and then wake up with a bowl of cherries in his hand.”

Nabers continued, “I was like, ‘I’m going to steal it.’ And he said, “Okay.” So I just ran with it.”

Nabers recently said during SXSW 2023 that he was inspired by a fan who was rumored to have killed himself in April 2016 due to claims that Jay-Z had cheated on Beyoncé.

“I was on a text thread with some friends from Houston, and for two days we thought it was a real event — until it was debunked later on Black Twitter,” Nabers said. “So when Donald (Glover) pitched this idea of ​​a black woman obsessed with a pop star, I said, ‘I know what a pilot is,’ and I ran with it.”

Asked if an “unnameable pop star” has seen “Swarm” yet, Nabers said, “Of course,” and that Beyoncé is considered A-list.

“Each episode is about real news, real events or internet rumors that happened, and we put our amazing women at the center of those stories,” Nabers said, adding that Glover referenced a tweet asking, “Why should every black woman on TV to be a therapist or a funny best friend or someone looking for love or a teacher? We can be crazy. We can be serial killers. And the rest are ‘swarms.’
