Vanessa Paradis — Vanessa Paradis

Johnny Depp's former wife, Vanessa Paradis also came out in his support. She said, I have known Johnny for more than 25 years. We’ve been partners for 14 years and we raised our two children together. Through all these years I’ve known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous and non-violent person and father. On movie sets the actors, directors and entire crews adore him because he is humble and respectful to everyone, as well as being one of the best actors we’ve seen. I am aware of the allegations which Amber Heard has publicly accused Johnny of for more than four years now. This is nothing like the true Johnny I have known, and from my personal experience of many years, I can say he was never violent or abusive to me. I have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing, and also caused damage to his career because unfortunately, people have gone on believing these false facts.

JK Rowling — JK Rowling

Johnny Depp was cast as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beast Franchise. However, after Amber Heard's accusations, he was fired from the series. JK Rowling had later reacted to the same saying, For me personally, the inability to speak openly to fans about this issue has been difficult, frustrating and at times painful. However, the agreements that have been put in place to protect the privacy of two people, both of whom have expressed a desire to get on with their lives, must be respected. Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.

Candace Owens — Candace Owens

Candace Owens tweeted out saying, I’m on record calling Amber Heard a liar from day one. Many people don’t realize that an abusive sociopath was able to seamlessly destroy a man because of the #metoo campaign. Never #believewomen. Instead, listen to women. AND men. But believe facts. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp.

Alec Baldwin's eldest daughter Irene Baldwin slammed Amber Heard in Instagram stories. She said, The thing is, I know women who are exactly like this. They are manipulative and cold and they use their very womanhood to play victim and turn the world against the man because we live in a society where it’s cool to say men are all the worst and blah blah f–kity blah.
