Helena Bonham Carter defends Johnny Depp after Amber Heard trial

It seems no coincidence that Helena Bonham Carter worked with two of the most controversial and controversial figures in recent years. On the one hand, JK Rowling, writer of the ‘Harry Potter’ saga, and Johnny Depp, godfather of her children. Now the ‘Sweeney Todd’ actress has come out to defend the actor and, incidentally, comment on Amber Heard and her trial against her ex-husband.

In an interview for The Sunday Times Magazine, Helena Bonham Carter defended Johnny Depp, which he said “was completely vindicated” after the defamation trial against Amber Heard. The case, from which the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor emerged victorious, was beneficial to Depp’s career, and he mentioned that “I think he’s OK now” with his situation, Carter said.

As for the other party, Helena Bonham Carter was asked if Amber Heard affects perceptions of the #MeToo movement, to which she replied, “That’s the thing with these things: People jump on the bandwagon because it’s the trend and being the poster girl.” And already in 2020, the actress had said that the protagonist of ‘Aquaman’ had taken advantage of the moment to “climb that pendulum”.

At the moment, Helena Bonham Carter said Amber Heard’s allegations against Johnny Depp were nonsenseSo, again, think that the film actor benefited from the case, which closed the opportunity with many producers, such as Disney, which eliminated him from the saga of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, and likewise with the Warner, substituting him for the third installment of ‘Fantastic Beasts’.

In the same talk, Bonham Carter also took the opportunity to discuss the situation with JK Rowling, who has been criticized for a series of posts on Twitter, where she was accused of transphobia. “He IS awful, a bunch of fools. I think she was harassed. People’s judgment has been taken to an extreme,” said the interpreter of Bellatriz Lestrange.

“Everyone brings their own history of trauma and forms their own opinions from that trauma and you have to respect where people and their pain come from. You don’t have to agree on everything, that would be crazy and boring. She doesn’t mean it, it just says something about his experience,” concluded Helena Bonham Carter in the interview.

The author’s comments were sharply criticized by other ‘Harry Potter’ cast members, such as Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who defended the trans community. “Everyone brings their own history of trauma and forms their opinions from it. You have to respect where people come from and their pain,” Carter Rowling said.
