Part 4/8:
What has sparked widespread criticism is the apparent inconsistency in how accusations are handled based on public perception. Amber Heard, Depp's ex-wife and also an actress employed by Warner Brothers, has faced her own share of controversy. While Depp was asked to step away from the franchise, Heard continues her role in the Aquaman sequel, raising questions about fairness and accountability.
This disparity fuels claims of double standards, where one side faces harsh consequences while the other seemingly faces minimal or no repercussions despite similar allegations or controversies. Critics argue this reflects broader issues within Hollywood and the entertainment industry—namely, cancel culture often appearing one-sided.
