Why did “pirate” Johnny Depp cause singer Rihanna to be boycotted?

Singer Rihanna ‘s intention to invite Johnny Depp to participate in the lingerie show was reacted by the audience. They believe that Rihanna is supporting the anti-women’s protection movement Me Too even though she was once a victim of violence.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Johnny Depp will appear in the most important moment at Rihanna’s fashion show taking place on November 9. The above information caused the world’s richest female singer to be boycotted by her own fans.

Many people believe that the female singer is taking advantage of Johnny Depp’s fame to increase the appeal of her show. After a defamation lawsuit with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard , Johnny Depp’s reputation is on the mend.

In early June 2022, he won the case and the court ordered Amber Heard to compensate Johnny Depp 10.35 million USD. However, following the trial and the testimonies between the two sides, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor is said to have also committed many acts of violence against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

One Rihanna audience expressed: “Why Johnny Depp? Putting him in your lingerie show does not increase the value of the brand.” Currently, Johnny Depp and Rihanna’s cosmetic brand name are trending keywords on social networking platforms .

Many figures in the entertainment world also decided to turn their backs on Rihanna’s controversial choice. Some gave the explanation that the billionaire singer herself was also a victim of violence, so it was unreasonable for her to invite Johnny Depp. The famous female singer was once beaten in the face by her ex-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, while they were dating.

Music producer Drew Dixon wrote: “Extremists hail Johnny Depp as a hero. Now, he’s been invited to appear on Rihanna’s show. I never thought that this powerful woman would succumb to the anti-Me Too movement (the movement to protect women from violence). So disappointed in Rihanna.”

When losing the case, Amber Heard admitted that the court’s favor for Johnny Depp was a step backward for the Mee Too movement. This is a movement against sexual harassment and violence that has spread around the world since 2017.

28-year-old actress Phoebe Bridgers also shared her disagreement with the anti-social media actions that Johnny Depp’s fans had towards Amber Heard. She admitted that she was very disappointed with Johnny Depp’s fans’ aggressive actions towards the Aquaman actress during the past time.

“I believe these are improper actions. The act of turning someone into a perfect victim, a perfect victor, or making an individual someone who is shunned by the entire community are all very misleading. If Amber Heard is being viewed as a person with psychological problems, we should not boycott her. Johnny Depp also admitted some violent and crazy actions in court, but why aren’t people surprised?”, Phoebe Bridgers said.

Olly Alexander – female singer of Years & Years also expressed that she will not wear Rihanna’s clothes after hearing this news. Keywords boycotting Rihanna and Johnny Depp such as #AbuserxFenty, #DitchDepp are prominent on search pages.

Rihanna owns a net worth of 1.7 billion USD at the age of 34. She is not only known as a talented singer but is also very good at making money. Her income, in addition to singing activities, also comes from selling music copyrights, selling the Fenty cosmetics brand and the Savage x Fenty lingerie line co-owned by LVMH. The female singer is introducing new music products after 6 years of silence.

Johnny Depp’s reputation and reputation were restored after the defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard took place last April and May in a Virginia court (USA). After winning the case, Johnny Depp expressed his happiness and affirmed that his innocence was returned after many years of injustice. Recently, Johnny Depp has been active in singing and acting and also quickly found a new love.

The reason for the breakup was not disclosed by both sides, but some sources close to Johnny said that the actor himself is not too serious about this relationship. “I don’t know if they are still together or not, but I’m sure this relationship is not as serious or romantic as people think,” Depp’s friend shared.

In addition, Johnny Depp also filed an appeal and declared that he did not want to pay $2 million to Amber Heard as the jury verdict in June 2022. In the lawsuit, the actor explained that he did not directly defame his ex-wife and had nothing to do with what the lawyer said. Therefore, it is unreasonable for him to have to pay 2 million USD to Amber Heard.
