Johnny Depp and Hollywood: A Long, Brutal History of Abuse and Mischaracterization
by Mireille Karadanaian
Johnny Depp is an American actor, producer, and musician, well known by families across the world for his eccentric behavior and widely successful movies. His most iconic of roles include his recurring protagonist in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,’ ‘Edward Scissorhands,’ and other earlier films of the late 1900s.
Painful History Between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
While having battled controversy the past few years, nothing has been quite as invasive as the ongoing coverage of his fight with ex-wife, Amber Heard. Their tumultuous relationship included a lot of back and forth allegations where she accused Depp of being a horrible partner to which he’s responded with the allegation that Heard abused him throughout their relationship. Proof has been surfaced with her admitting to physically abusing Depp and resulted in handfuls of lawsuits between the two.
He lost the libel case against The Sun, a British tabloid that referred to him as a ‘wife beater’ Depp found himself also losing jobs and credibility in Hollywood. MGM reported that the Andrew-Levitas-directed project he was in has been shelved and that he was forced to leave the Warner Bros production of the Fantastic Beasts franchise after the case as well.

Hollywood is ‘Boycotting’ Depp
With his newest film, ‘Minamata,’ also being blocklisted from release, Depp feels like Hollywood is boycotting him and using various techniques of media manipulation and algorithms to prevent him from gaining any modicum of success. He says that his fall from the industry has been, “absurdity of media mathematics.”
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Depp discussed the “surreal five years” he has experienced amid his falling-out with the Hollywood community.
Depp’s role in ‘Minamata,’ is as W Eugene Smith, American photojournalists whos trying to use his photography to show how mercury poisoning is affecting the coastal communities of 1970 Japan. He said he promised despite all the controversy, that this movie would be good and impactful but that did little to assuage the hatred he was facing.
