It sucks to be him right now and even he knows it. Johnny Depp is making it clear that he hates being labeled as “canceled.” The Hollywood actor says that no one is safe from cancel culture while accepting the lifetime achievement award at the San Sebastian film festival. Here’s what you need to know.
Johnny who last year lost a libel case against a British newspaper that labeled him a “wife-beater”, was responding to questions from journalists at the San Sebastián film festival in northern Spain. This was after his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, went public with allegations of domestic violence against him. A judge at the High Court last year found the allegations to be “substantially correct.”
Johnny Depp Says He’s A Victim Of Cancel Culture
“The various movements that came out, I’m sure with the best of intentions – however it’s so far out of hand now that I can promise you that no one is safe,” he said.
“It’s a very complex situation, this cancel culture, or this instant rush to judgment based on essentially what amounts to polluted air,” the 58-year-old actor added. “It’s got so far out of hand that I can assure you, no-one is safe. Not one of you, so long as someone is willing to say one thing.”
Earlier this year, the Court of Appeal refused Depp permission to appeal against the High Court ruling that he assaulted Amber Heard, saying his attempt to overturn the decision had “no real prospect of success.”
Needless to say, Amber Heard, of course, has not made any comments about the matter, but Johnny is suing her for millions of dollars over a Washington Post essay that she wrote about domestic violence. The trial in that case was recently delayed until April 2022.
