Johnny Depp made an appearance Tuesday on Rihanna’s Savage Fenty show, which aired on the streaming platform Amazon Prime. The fallen 59-year-old actor appeared for a minute, wearing a silk suit.
The announcement of his participation, revealed last week by the tabloid TMZ, sparked controversy. Johnny Depp is indeed persona non grata in Hollywood over allegations of domestic abuse made by his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Neither Rihanna nor Amazon have spoken publicly on the matter. But many of her fans on social media criticized the singer’s decision with the hashtag #DitchDepp (“Depp bazaar”).
Many Internet users have recalled that Rihanna herself had been the victim of blows by Chris Brown in 2009, with whom she was having a relationship at the time.
A comeback?
Olly AlexanderSinger of the British group Years and Years and former ambassador of the brand, she disassociated herself from her by declaring that she “would no longer wear” the clothes designed by the singer.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have accused each other of defamation in a high-profile lawsuit. Both claimed to have been victims of domestic violence. The court found them both guilty of defamation. They appealed.
After years away from the Hollywood studios, Johnny Depp seems to be enjoying a comeback. He landed a role in Maïwen’s next film. He just signed a record with Jeff Beck and he’s going make a film about Modigliani.
