Depp Breaks Silence on #MeToo and Truth
In a revealing new interview, Johnny Depp MeToo comments have reignited headlines. Speaking to The Sunday Times, Depp said he felt like the โcrash test dummyโ for the movement, referencing the abuse allegations made by ex-wife Amber Heard in 2016.
The accusations triggered two major trials. Depp lost a 2020 libel case in the U.K. after being called a โwife beaterโ by The Sun. But in 2022, he won part of a U.S. defamation case against Heard over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post.
โIโll Fight to the Bitter Endโ
Depp said he never felt nervous the night before his U.S. trial. โIf youโre just speaking the truth? Roll the dice,โ he told the outlet.
He explained that standing down wasnโt an option. โIf I donโt try to represent the truth, it will be like Iโve actually committed the acts I am accused of,โ Depp said. โAnd my kids will have to live with it.โ
The Johnny Depp MeToo narrative, he argued, had spiraled beyond control. โEveryone was saying, โItโll go away!โ But I canโt trust that.โ
Return to the Big Screen
Despite his Hollywood exile during the trials, Depp is making a comeback. Heโll reunite with Penelope Cruz in Day Drinker, set for release in 2026. It marks a full-circle moment after his departure from Fantastic Beasts.
No Regrets
Looking back, Depp is unapologetic. โI have no regrets about anything,โ he said. โBecause, truly, what can we do about last weekโs dinner? Not a fucking thing.โ
His fight, he says, wasnโt just about image. It was about truthโand heโs still standing.
