Johnny Depp’s reputation has been tarnished, with Hollywood completely turning its back on the infamous Pirates and Cry Baby (1990) actor. Most recently, Depp lost his titular role as evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald within the Fantastic Beasts franchise, with actor Mads Mikkelsen stepping in to replace Johnny Depp is a less than spectacular third installment to the franchise, as many recent reports have claimed.
Depp has been blacklisted by American media, forcing the beloved entertainer to pursue work throughout Europe for low-budget, Indie films.
The tables have turned for Depp, with the majority of the internet backing the blacklisted actor throughout his live testifying in Fairfax, Virginia, with #JusticeforJohnnyDepp exploding on Twitter.
Nonetheless, many are opposed to Johnny Depp’s revelations, with Howard Stern being the latest to chop up the actor:

Honestly, I didn’t think Howard Stern was still on the air… I guess that is better than saying “who is Howard Stern…?”

Howard Stern thinks that this case isn’t going well for Johnny Depp just goes to show how out of touch he is. I don’t think I’ve seen Johnny get this much overwhelming amount of support for a long time in his career

I know a lot of celebrities & know people who REALLY know a lot of celebrities. I have NEVER thought less of a celebrity because of real-life stories I have heard about them then I do about Howard Stern, who in my opinion, is a very cruel and messed up person, worthy of contempt.

Howard Stern calling Johnny Depp -who he doesn’t know- a narcissist who is “acting” is exactly the reason why men who are abused never come forward. Because other men shame them. #JusticeForJohhnyDepp
