House of the Dragon viewers horrified by ‘disgusting’ foot fetish scene
HOUSE of the Dragon viewers were left feeling queasy by a “disgusting” foot fetish scene.
House Of The Dragon focuses on Aegon Targaryen and his family of dragon riders and its civil war known as the Dance of Dragons.
But in episode nine, the “sex” scene between Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and Lord Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) left fans horrified.
The Green Council episode saw Queen Alicent present her bare feet to knight and head of House Strong, Larys.
Alicent – who suffers from clubbed feet – removed her shoes and stocking and placed it on the table for Larys’ pleasure.
Larys tells Alicent that he’s heard whispers throughout the royal court and offers her a deal for his offer to kill some of the spies.

Offering her feet to him, Larys began to masturbate and revealed secrets about spies in the Red Keep.
Viewers were mortified by the shock scene, with one writing: “I can excuse incest, but I draw the line at foot fetish.”
A second posted: “It’s the way Alicent was already taking her shoes and socks off without Larys even having to say anything. Like y’all done this before??!”
“Not HOD delivering in free OnlyFans content with this foot fetish scene,” a third said.

But one cheeky fan added: “Got to admit, I secretly really enjoyed watching that scene.”
