More than a million people have signed a petition to purge Amber Heard from the movie Aquaman 2.
Johnny Depp fans are angry and pissed off since he lost the libel case against his former wife. The enraged fans are saying Amber Heard is responsible for destroying her ex-husband’s career by putting false accusations against him. The petition compelling the Hollywood industry to boycott the 34-year-old actress gained 1.5 million signatures on Friday, November 27.
The petition registered on Change.org says Heard had induced mental and professional strain in Depp’s life by calling him an abuser. Depp will be bearing the consequences of false accusations for the rest of his life. The petition also blames Heard for creating fake accounts on Johnny Depp’s name to destroy his reputation.
Johnny Depp signed a case against The Sun newspaper in 2018 for calling him a wife-beater in one of their articles.
The veteran Hollywood star lost the case earlier this month, and the judge declared the allegations to be substantially correct. The defeat didn’t only bring mental disturbance and social embarrassment to him, but he also gets ousted from JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts.
The angry and disheartened fans of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star spread a petition in his support, aiming to gather 3 million signatures. They want Depp’s wife to be kicked out of the movie Aquaman 2 for ruining his career. The actress talked about the issue last week and said this would not stop her, and she’ll be doing the movie anyway.
The accused Hollywood star said paid campaigns and baseless rumors don’t decide and affect the casting decisions. She also said that the rumors circulating on the internet have no basis in reality.
“Only the fans made Aquaman and Aquaman 2 happen,” Amber Heard replied to the circulating rumors and also added that she is ready to go for the shooting of Aquaman 2 next year.
