Johnny Depp Criticized Negative Hollywood Reports as ‘Fantastically and Horrifically Written Fiction

Amid Amber Heard’s Accusations, Johnny Depp Addressed Negative Publicity

Can you imagine Hollywood without Johnny Depp? The 60-year-old actor has brought us blockbuster hits like Pirates Of The Caribbean, Fantastic Beasts, and Edward Scissorhands, among many others. He was soaring in his career until allegations of domestic violence by his ex-wife, Amber Heard, changed everything. Johnny Depp once spoke out about the intense negativity surrounding him. Here’s what he had to say:

In May 2016, Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny and accused him of physical abuse. The Aquaman 2 actress even obtained a restraining order against her former spouse. She shared her experience as a survivor of domestic abuse in a 2018 op-ed published in The Washington Post. Depp responded by filing a defamation lawsuit and ultimately won the trial in Virginia in 2022.

Johnny Depp experienced a boycott in Hollywood.

Despite winning the $50 million defamation suit against Amber Heard, Johnny Depp faced significant online backlash. Disney reportedly removed him from Pirates Of The Caribbean 6 to steer clear of negative publicity. He also filmed for a day on the set of Fantastic Beasts 3 but had to depart from the project after losing the UK trial against The Sun in 2020.
