Johnny Depp, however, isn’t the only one experiencing backlash, as MTV is also being dragged for allegedly giving a voice and a platform to an abuser.
Eve Barlow – Quotes Amber Heard Following Johnny Depp’s Stint At the MTV VMAs
The 2022 MTV VMAs was not without its surprising moments and dramatic interludes. From music to comedy to drama, right back to music again, it was a fulfilling and historical night for many of our beloved artists.
Nicki Minaj received a Vanguard award, with some of her Barbz there to thrill and surprise her. Blackpink’s Lisa became the first K-pop solo artist to win, not only the best k-pop song, but any VMA award. BTS’ win for Group of the Year makes them the most awarded in that category in the awards show history.
But What’s An Award Show Without Some Controversies ight?
Following Johnny Depp’s virtual appearance at the star-studded show, where he cheekily told everyone that he’s “available for birthdays, barmitzvahs, batmitzvahs, weddings, wakes, any old thing you need”, Eve Barlow and fans lashed out on Twitter.
Barlow wrote: “When Amber won in the UK v little changed. Petitions to have her fired from Aquaman 2 continued to gain traction. The social media trolling got worse. In the three months since Depp won in the US. he went on tour, released an album, landed a role, and was invited to the VMAs.
She also quoted a verse from Amber Heard’s op-ed which read, “Imagine a powerful man as a ship, like the Titanic. That ship is a huge enterprise. When it strikes an iceberg, there are a lot of people on board desperate to patch up holes, not because they believe in the ship, but because their fates depend on the enterprise.”
What Amber Heard’s Stans Are Saying Of Johnny Depp’s Cameo At the VMAs
Speaking on Depp’s appearance at Sunday night’s VMAs, Alex Suskind tweeted: “Johnny Depp showing up at the VMAs for funny cameos is really f**king gross”
Another Twitter user shared: “Johnny Depp got to be at the VMAs because he’s an abuser. Because people joined him and helped him humiliate and further abuse his victim, Amber Heard. Now he is more loved than ever while Amber is still getting harassed daily for speaking up against abuse.”
Heard’s fans also criticized Depp’s cameo at the awards show, calling it “embarrassing” and “disgusting”.
