Johnny Depp: 'Not one of you' is safe with 'cancel culture'

Taking center stage in a prestigious Spanish film festival to receive a top career award, actor Johnny Depp presented himself as a victim of the 'cancel culture' that, he said, has spread across the cinema industry.
Depp was addressing questions on Wednesday by reporters at the San Sebastian International Film Festival about the loss of Hollywood's favour for new roles ever since his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, went public with allegations of domestic violence against him.
A British judge last year found the allegations to be "substantially correct."
"It's a very complex situation, this cancel-culture, or this instant rush to judgment based on essentially what amounts to polluted air," the 58-year-old actor responded.
"It's got so far out of hand that I can assure you, no one is safe. Not one of you, so long as someone is willing to say one thing."
