Friends and supporters of the contentious and well-known American actress Amber Heard have criticized her ex-husband, veteran actor Johnny Depp, for attending the Cannes Film Festival. The audience gave the renowned artist a standing ovation for more than seven minutes after the screening of his new movie and return to Hollywood, “Jeanne Du Barry,” there.
According to Variety, Amber Heard’s radical supporters launched a new campaign with the hashtag “Cannes You Not” to openly criticize Johnny Depp’s attendance at this illustrious film festival.
The major goal of the campaign is to bring attention to his reported proclivity for “celebrating abusers for over 76 years.” The prestigious festival, which began yesterday with Johnny’s new movie, came under fire for inviting this famous person despite accusations of abuse against his ex-girlfriend, who ultimately lost the case she had with the seasoned actor.
Faced with this, people other than only admirers of the actress who played ‘Mera’ in Aquaman have spoken out against the festival. Following the lead of the actress’s followers on social media, some of Johnny’s pals have also criticized his participation in the event.
One of Amber Heard’s closest friends, Eve Barlow, shared the hashtag on Instagram along with a critical statement about how the event was run.
“In Cannes they seem proud of their history supporting rapists and abusers. The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Varlow didn’t stop there, though; he also shared a collection of images with frank captions that included images of actors like Woody Allen, Johnny Depp, Roman Polanski, Harvey Weinstein, and others from the world of Hollywood.
“If you support this festival, you support sexual predators.” But it was an allusion to the festival highlighting them and their work, basically.
Given this, the criticism of Johnny Depp’s participation at the Cannes Film Festival coming from Amber Heard’s inner circle is a topic that has come up again.
