Helena Bonham Carter defends Johnny Depp and rails against JK Rowling’s ‘Transphobic’ Remark

In addition to making it obvious how she thinks about the “cancel culture” and the idea that someone’s personal life should affect their profession, Helena Bonham Carter has spoken out in support of her former colleagues J.K. Rowling and Johnny Depp.

J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has been in the news recently as a result of a significant issue stemming from a comment she made about LGBTQ+ people. Many famous people have sided with the author in their statements, but Carter, who played Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter film series based on her writings, recently thought about the same.

According to a recent Screenrant report, Helena Bonham Carter told The Times that the author was being “hounded”. The judgmentalism of people, she continued, had been taken to an extreme. She asserted that everyone had experienced trauma in the past and that this trauma had shaped their ideas, and that one should recognize the struggles and backgrounds of others.

Moreover, about Johnny Depp and his high-profile trial involving his ex-wife Amber Heard, Bonham Carter stated she believes the Pirates of the Caribbean actor is “totally vindicated”.

English actress Helena Bonham Carter is well-known for her parts in blockbusters and indie movies. She has won numerous awards, including the British Academy Film Award and the International Emmy Award.
