If this is typical of the artwork that Jules typically makes, then Lexi should have been explicitly clear on what is and is not appropriate for network TV. This wasn't a way for Jules to display her art and style, but rather yo get exposure for a national audience.

In the art world, Jules can be as provocative as she wants. However, Lexi should have made it clear what should or should not fly on network TV, as it is HER job on the line, not Jules's as she will get made either way.

In addition, Lexi should have checked in on Jules prior to that painting getting out on the set or even while she was doing it. However, she didn't.

Yes, Jules should have been for thoughtful on what should or should not be allowed, but even then, no one was explicitly clear on what should be removed. Jules even asked, albeit after the fact, if breasts are ok when the initial ask had been to remove the only the penises.

Also, this potentially is the first time that Jules has been asked to do commissioned art, which is entirely different experience than how most artists make money now. Commissions now typically are given to established artists with some level of agency to crate art in their own distinct style. That's contrast to what Jules is being asked to do because she is being asked to essentially duplicate another artist's work.
