Part 2/8:
Depp’s legal battles, media sensationalism, and allegations of domestic violence have deeply impacted his career. Following his ex-wife Amber Heard's public accusations and the subsequent defamation trials, Depp faced a dramatic fall from grace—being fired from projects, publicly ostracized, and vilified by mainstream outlets. However, with a triumphant courtroom victory behind him, Depp has begun reclaiming his place in the public eye.
At Cannes, Depp was met with overwhelming support, including a remarkable seven-minute standing ovation. The emotional response was palpable—Depp was visibly moved, even crying during the celebration of his latest film, Jean du Berry. His presence and reception at Cannes symbolize a significant moment of vindication for the actor.
