    It is an obvious miscarriage of justice when a judge anywhere in the world is allowed to simply ignore overwhelming information provided by law enforcement officials, medical professionals, and eye witnesses, choosing to fully express unlawful bias in favor of one party. Read the trial transcripts for yourself, and do not spend your money on any project involving the actress currently portraying the character of “Mera”. Don’t spend your money on Fantastic Beasts. The public always has a role to play to protest judicial misconduct.

    1. We are all saying justice for johnny.. He derserves justice and vindication Warner brothers hopefully sees it too.. Hes proved his innocents ten times over.. We support johnny millions of us do.. They will learn when johnnys movies hit #1 in the box office for weeks and already has. Johnny depp is a great man we’ve seen the truth.. We no johnny is a great man. Take care and god bless.

        The lack of intelligence? Of whom, the commenters?

        1. Sandra Wilson

          Amber is a pathetic user, loser. Period

      3. I will not buy the “Pirates” New movie if Johnny Depp is not Jack Sparrow

    2. Angel

      Amen

      1. Alicia Slade

        I won’t be watching anyone else playing”Jack Sparrow” for me it’s Johnny Depp or it’s nothing

      I agree 100%, Heard has overwhelming evidence against her proving she not only lied but SHE WAS THE ABUSER!! #JUSTICEFORJOHNNY #JailforHeard

        I would have loved to hear that the Disney Corp. kept Johnny Depp on in this new installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean” atleast until he has had his day in court here in the US. They didn’t. They have shown me any many others, just how much bull they are full of! And care nothing about standing behind their money maker “JD” they could care a less about anything other actor they sign on..”Crash and burn, and we won’t even spit on the fire to show our gratitude, loyalty and friendship”..not least..to save your life? If I were JD..I would go make Tim Burton more Billions (Being in discussions now)..and tell Disney to suc-it losers!! ??

          From what i have heard regarding disney and pirates there will likely be TWO films coming out the first will feature a female pirate simular to Depps character, played by Margot Robbie, which should be amazing, she is great, they want to focus on the redhead female pirate from their ride and now in the theme parks, then the closely followed pirates film may very well be with depp

        No one can replace Johnny Depp, they will see when the next pirates movie comes out , no one will care to watch it. He is irreplaceable! Amber’s movie’s are already flopping in the box office! I for one will not watch the movie without him! His character has nothing to do with his personal life! He is without a doubt a legendary actor! He has a unique style that no one else can even begin to compare to! The next pirate movie will flop without him, and all the other movies, like the Potter series! Justice for Johnny!

    5. Janet Frost

      Nothing to do with the fact that the Judge’s ex wife, with whom he is still friendly was part of Heard’s legal team then??

    6. Tom

      News of the World is just a gutter paper. It belongs under the same umbrella as Fox.

    7. The paper that he lost to is the sort of thing you would use if you have run out of loo roll

      1. Savage Lynx

        HA! Funny!

  2. Jim

    After the huge fortune he has made them Disney and others cast him out?
    Then they deserve no loyalty either.
    Bring Jack Back

    I will NEVER take my children to Disney!
    Exploiting anyone over their misfortunes or legal issues is HORRIBLE!
    As they say, you must wait to see both sides of a story before making any final judgement, well, here it is! Jumping the gun so to speak, people believing her word, when it was Her/Heard all along.
    Even in a movie, you have NEVER seen Johnny Depp take a role that was harsh or abusive towards a woman.
    I believe Johnny will be back, but I do NOT think he will have anything to do with Disney/WB unless he receives his royalties and a public APOLOGY from Disney/WB.
    We have your back, Johnny!

      Even if you know nothing about Depp or Heard, the evidence of what happened between them is overwhelming. Between her admission of hitting him and being ANGRY that he wouldnt fight with her, the already TWO OTHER DV charges Heard has under her belt already at her young age, her ever changing story and his consistent respectful language to her, and the fact that hes been in the public eye for 30 years and dated multiple women, had a long happy marriage and weve never heard a remote whisper of abuse before. It is PAINFUL as a DV survivor to watch this very obvious wolf in sheep’s clothing hiding out as an abuser among the among the abused. Boycott loreal. Boycott Warner brothers. Boycott Disney. It’s a social media atrocity that has happened here.

      1. Louise

        Agree! It’s all a sham and if anything it hurts survivors of DV. Disney will not get my money again.

    Warner brothers is the one that lost. Jack Sparrow. (Our Jennie in the bottle is out there already. He is scattered to the 4 winds even more SO when Warner Brothers. Past judgement on him unfairly seeing he was never convicted in a court of law in the US. Johnny is like a pillow full of feathers cut open and and shaken to a high blowing wind. Which Warner brothers did ) now go Disney and pick up all those feathers and put them back. Johnny Depp has never left being JACK SPARROW SOME THINGS YOU CANT REPLACE. OHH..LOOK I SEE MORE FEATHERS OVER THERE……??????

  8. Raquel Kuilan

    If Johnny Depp is not in the film I won’t watch it. He is pirates of the caribbean.

  9. Deb

    Johnny has not lost any cases against Amber Heard. The London lawsuit was against NGN not Heard. She was a witness for NGN not a party to the action. It’s reporting like this, giving false information that confuses people. Amber Heard is an abuser. There is overwhelming evidence she lied. I will not be watching Aquaman 2, if she is in it. She deserves to lose her roles just like Johnyy did. Especially since she is guilty and he isn’t. #JusticeForJohnny

  10. Tjs

    No Depp, none of my money or viewing. The whole cancel culture is questionable but this crosses the line.

  11. Mary

    Why do women always get believed before hearing ALL THE EVIDENCE. There are many women who make false claims against men making it harder for other women who actually have a case against a man be believed. I strongly believe in this case that Amber is lying because she is angry at Johnny and she shouldn’t be allowed to act if he isn’t. So unfair what they did and are still doing to such a talented actor. Justice for Johnny.

  12. Cathy

    Abuse works both ways. A woman can be just as abusive as a man. A man is less likely to file charges. So if your going to punish one you need to do both.

  13. Alyssa N

    I won’t be watching Aquaman until she’s fired and I won’t be supporting Disney if Johnny Depp doesn’t return as Jack Sparrow. This whole situation has been very unfair and unjust. No one should be treated the way Depp has been treated.

  14. Carrie

    I won’t be watching or supporting any Pirates of the Caribbean movies, etc. without Depp as Jack Sparrow. He is an icon in the film industry and an amazing actor, which is all I care about so…

  15. Elesha

    If Depp doesn’t return to the series, I know I won’t watch it. I also know I’m not alone in this. It would be a big mistake not to keep him as Jack Sparrow.

  16. Anonymous Bob

    Amber Heard is a gold-digging, lying, talent-less sociopath. That should be clear to anyone investigating the facts of the case.
    Is Johnny Depp an angel? No. He has his drug and personality issues, sure, things that Heard was only too eager to take advantage of (along with his fame and wealth).

  17. Wanda

    If Depps not in #6 You will lose Money…I Bet if Heard was Not So Her! Like Plain Jane You Would Be on Depps Side Huh !!! I Know it Cause that’s how you Men are! Wonder what else she did! To get Her Way..We Love J.D..Heard Not at ALL !!?

    Johnny Dep is Captain Jack Sparrow!!!!!!

  19. News of the World = part of the Gutter Press. Includes Fox and others. Entertainment News and part of Murdoch and Co. Wouldn’t touch AT with a barge pole, I might catch something. Justice for Johnny.

  20. He’s a liberal, I hope He never lands another gig.

  21. CA

    Writtens? I think you mean Good riddance. LOL. His political affiliations have zero to do with this conversation… I am not a liberal

  22. Nobody heard of that user until she met Depp. Shes a looser, a user and wont stop using and abusing Depp until a judge stops looking at her as a victim and realizes shes a spoiled brat and puts her on a very long Time Out !!!!!!!!!!

  23. va..

    I will not go see any of the new Pirates movies if he is not in them!

  24. Stanley McGraw

    Seen and purchased all the Pirates movies. Doubt if will see or purchase the new one if Johnny Depp isn’t in it. He made the franchise what it is.

  25. Debby Rusovick

    Johnny Depp made the franchise successful. Removing him before the facts are proven is a crime against him and the viewers!

  26. Tina M.

    No Johnny, no movie.It could not be as good without him involved.I choose to say nothing bad about anyone concerning the false allegations, I just choose to always love Johnny Depp and his contributions in the Industry he has always been humble, kind,generous, and true and will always be Captain Jack Sparrow.

  27. Elizabeth P

    Jack Sparrow is Johnny Depp no ​​one can occupy that place like him. Johnny used his character to cheer up children in hospitals and he did it with love. There is no Jakc Saparrow without Johnny Depp, it would be Disney’s unforgivable injustice.

  28. Lon

    Without Johnny Depp the series is done. There is no proof I think she lied and trying to ruin him I know domestic abuse is a problem but there are women who use it as a weapon. Which isn’t right for women who really are abused.

  29. No one can replace Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. As far as all the controversy I strongly believe that Amber Heard just wants to get her name out there and doesn’t really care that she hurts anyone else. Johnny will prevail but, unfortunately he will have to spend time and money to clear his name. Truly a shame.

  30. Beth

    I fully support Johnny Depp and his return to Disney.
    People fail to recognize that Amber Heard has been in the media for abusing her female companions. She has a history. Johnny Depp does not. Yet she’s still able to keep her Aquaman role. I find that sad and disgraceful.

  31. Justin

    Of course people shouldn’t surport him. Neither should Amber be supported. There is videos online for everyone to see of both of them being abusive. Why would anyone come to the aid of that? Let them both be forgotten and give people that are actually decent a chance.

  32. Chris

    Hey Johnny try marrying or being with someone your own age! Less drama!! These old men actors trying to hide their insecurities in being with women young enough to be their daughters, and in some cases grand-daughters!!

  33. Barb

    I don’t know if Johnny Depp will resume his Captain Jack Sparrow role or not but I DO know this…if he DOES NOT star in the new episode of the Pirates movies I won’t be watching!!!

  34. Shannon

    I will not support any franchise that blacklists Johnny Depp without PROOF, and because they fear the media. It is shameful to treat the man who built the franchise through his talent in such a manner. His ex, who is not worthy of even printing her name has been proven a liar, and should face criminal charges for filing false charges and lying to the courts and police. She is the one who should be blackballed, and she should never be cast in films again. Shame all around. I believe Johnny.

  35. Louise

    If Johnny Depp isn’t playing Jack Sparrow in the next Pirates movie, who will go see it? He IS CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW. He created the character and earned Disney kazillions. Very foolish for them to force him out.

  36. Diane

    Was Johnie Depp found guilty without a doubt ? Seems he’s been put on trial and found guilty by studios that are afraid of the accusations thrown out there by someone who’s clearly changed her story , liars have to have a great memory or be a better actor. I am against abuse for sure, but unproven rumors to hurt a person are abusing the me too movement & the person being accused. Public opinion is damaging as well
