      As much as people like to defend Depp, he’s a piece of shit who deserves to lose his status. He has great pr that has made everyone around here ignore his mountains of past abusive behavior and being a creep.

      Dude is 60, dating 20 year olds and bitching that they’re immature. Him and his ex were mutually abusive psychos, she just happened to be worse, but Johnny Depp is a garbage person

      It’s easier for Disney to fire a problematic star who is past his prime and doesnt pull audiences anymore than to fire a problematic star who is considered up and coming, and supposed to frontline a big franchise

      Depp’s a trash human being, too. Don’t let that verdict trick you into thinking he’s a victim. That whole affair was between two awful people.

      Yeah…I definitely believe in the principle of being innocent until proven guilty, and that should apply in all facets of life. I know legally that only restrains the courts and government, but in my opinion, it should apply for everyone - no one should be fired or otherwise treated as though they’re guilty before it has been proven.
