Although the legal battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has been over for months now, it's still on the public's mind.
It is, after all, an issue that has changed the way #MeToo cases are handled, while "clearing" the name of the actor, who suffered a lot of damage because of his ex-wife's accusations.
However, even though Amber Heard was claiming everywhere that she had been a victim of sexual, physical and verbal abuse by the Hollywood star, many celebrities stood by him and challenged her claims.
Among them, Johnny Depp's co-star in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Sweeney Todd", Helena Bonham Carter. The popular actress insists to this day that she supports her colleague, despite the fact that there is no close friendship between them.
However, she considers Amber Heard's actions unjust and at every opportunity points out that this trial is symbolic of how some women are "exploiting" the #MeToo movement to their advantage.
"I think Johnny has been fully vindicated," Elena Bonham Carter recently told the Sunday Times, adding: "I think he's fine now. He's on the right track."
She went on to refer to Hurd, claiming that people had become disoriented as they only had the "poster girl" in their minds. "That's the problem with these things. This tendency to be influenced by the poster girl," he noted.
In closing, after pointing out that Hurd ruined a man's life for a time and used the #metoo movement to her advantage, he referred to cancel culture.
He said people understood what the truth was and that's why he was asked to rejoin Pirates of the Caribbean despite the allegations.
"Johnny went through it and made it through. It's not the same for people like Kevin Spacey. There is no room for him anymore," he concluded.
