I Hate Cancel Culture: Helena Bonham Carter Defends Johnny Depp

Helena Bonham Carter On Johnny Depp

"People cannot be barred. I despise the cancel culture. The situation has been rather hysterical, and there's been something of a witch hunt", according to the actor.

She continued by drawing comparisons between Depp, who was charged with domestic abuse by his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard, and disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of many counts of sexual harassment.

The actor said, "I don't think there is for someone like Kevin Spacey. There is no going back for him. Johnny "Definitely went through it, but I believe he is doing OK now. Absolutely fine!"

Helena continued by defending writer JK Rowling's alleged transphobic remarks and asserting that she has been "hounded." "It's terrible. I believe she has been pursued. People's judgmentalism has reached an extreme.

She is free to express her viewpoint, especially if she has experienced abuse. You must recognise where individuals are coming from and their suffering since everyone has a personal history of trauma that shapes their opinions.

It's not necessary for everyone to agree on everything; doing so would be absurd and uninteresting. She's only sharing something from her own experience, not saying it maliciously, the actor claimed.

Helena said, "Personally, I feel they should allow her for having her ideas, but I think they're extremely careful of preserving their own fan base and their generation." in response to the Harry Potter film leads criticising Rowling for her remarks.
