The popular actor’s reputation has been tarnished by the controversial domestic violence case made against him by his ex girlfriend Amber Heard. Depp has become a target of the #MeToo movement after Amber accused him of assault. While many fellow actors and former spouse testified for Depp’s innocence, the court ruled in favor of Amber Heard.
Due to the court ruling him as a ‘wife-beater’, Warner Bros. studio has started distancing themselves from the actor. Depp respectfully exited the latest Fantastic Beasts film after he was asked to.
However, there is some good news for Johnny Depp as he had a pay-or-play contract, which requires Warner Bros. to pay his full eight-figure salary — meaning more than $10 million for shooting just one scene!
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Depp. However, the Hollywood star is confident that his “life and career will not be defined by this moment in time.”
