Helena Bonham Carter sounded off on cancel culture and defended pals Johnny Depp and J.K. Rowling. Although she agrees there’s no way back for some #MeToo perpetrators — like Kevin Spacey — the English actress said Depp has been “vindicated” after his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.
Bonham Carter, who’s worked with “canceled” filmmakers, including Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, believes there’s a way back for some people.
Bonham Carter said she believes Depp — who lost a 2020 libel trial in the U.K. involving Heard’s abuse allegations — has been “completely vindicated” by the verdict in the U.S.
Carter, who played Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, seemed outraged when discussing the treatment of J.K. Rowling.
Bonham Carter did not criticize her Harry Potter co-stars — Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint — for publicly speaking out against Rowling.
