Johnny Depp, overexposed in the media since the end of the trials against Amber Heard
Sound and light shows that helped make the panty empire that was Victoria’s Secret old-fashioned, Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty shows give pride of place to the diversity of morphologies, identities and gender expressions, but also celebrities. But today we can be surprised by the ghostly presence of Johnny Depp for this fourth edition.
If we will never know the end of the story that pits him against ex-wife Amber Heard, being the domestic violence probably reciprocal and the trials centered on libel issues, we can still be surprised that the actor is already so highly highlighted by the entertainment industries. Whileperforms in concertswho will direct her first feature film since 1997, and that her contract as an ambassador for Dior’s perfume Sauvage continues, Johnny Depp then walks for Savage x Fenty, the lingerie brand of Rihanna, herself a victim of domestic violence committed by Chris Brown .
We can therefore ask ourselves what message Rihanna wanted to send after such a casting choice. The expression of support for the actor, which you would consider the main victim of the story? Far from being Manichaean, the Amber Heard / Johnny Depp situation probably doesn’t have a single executioner, and re-examines the “good victim” myth.
Why did Rihanna invite Johnny Depp to show in Savage x Fenty?
It is perhaps this rejection of binarism that Rihanna wanted to express, as well as invoking the right to error and forgiveness. She herself has never wanted the model label and refuses any injunction to lead by example. For example, in 2011, she included Chris Brown in a remix of the song “Birthday Cake” (hymn to cunnilingus) from the album. speak that speech. The following year, on the album Unrepentant (which could be translated as ” who does not apologize ) released in 2012, he called Chris Brown again with the title “Nobody’s Business” (a hymn to love despite the hard blows and the opinion of others…). In addition, a nice controversy is always talked about, and it is also free advertising for Savage x Fenty which today associates the image of him with that of Johnny Depp.

Recall, however, that his 2020 Savage x Fenty show was accused of blasphemy and Islamophobic for including accelerated hadiths, words of the Prophet Muhammad, in its soundtrack. The singer of unrepentant nevertheless he apologized in a hurry. Maybe he will do it again soon for choosing to include Johnny Depp. Or maybe not.
