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 “crash test dummy” 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 “wife beater” 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.
“I’ll Fight to the Bitter End”
Depp said he never felt nervous the night before his U.S. trial. “If you’re just speaking the truth? Roll the dice,” he told the outlet.
He explained that standing down wasn’t an option. “If I don’t try to represent the truth, it will be like I’ve actually committed the acts I am accused of,” Depp said. “And my kids will have to live with it.”
The Johnny Depp MeToo narrative, he argued, had spiraled beyond control. “Everyone was saying, ‘It’ll go away!’ But I can’t trust that.”
Return to the Big Screen
Despite his Hollywood exile during the trials, Depp is making a comeback. He’ll 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. “I have no regrets about anything,” he said. “Because, truly, what can we do about last week’s dinner? Not a fucking thing.”
His fight, he says, wasn’t just about image. It was about truth—and he’s still standing.
