Johnny Depp Faces Major Blow as Pro-Amber Heard Female Artists Reportedly Using ‘Abuser Stigma’ To Forbid Women From Sharing the Stage With Him at BRIT Awards 2023
Famous Hollywood actor Johnny Depp seems to have scored another win after winning the high-profile defamation case trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. According to the reports, the Pirates of the Caribbean star is nominated for BRIT Awards 2023 in three different categories for his studio album 18 with Jeff Beck.
A date has been confirmed for next year’s BRIT Awards, which will be live from the O2 arena on Saturday, 11th February, and be broadcast exclusively on ITV in 2023. The only problem is that in addition to his chances of winning, he may also receive backlash from the female artists who are pro-Amber Heard at the award function. Although he won the defamation case in his favor, he still has to deal with the stigma associated with being an abuser.
Johnny Depp May Face Backlash at the BRIT Awards 2023
The actor Johnny Depp has won more than $10 million in damages in a defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, making him the first to win a near-total victory in such a case. The six-week trial featured graphic testimony regarding the soured relationship between the two stars.
Celebrities reportedly distanced themselves from him before the trial, and most of his work had been lost. After his victory in the defamation trial, he became very popular on social media, and two teams were formed by fans, one in his favor and the other in Amber Heard’s favor.
More than 130 people, including feminist icon Gloria Steinem and organizations supporting women’s rights advocacy, domestic violence awareness, and s*xual assault awareness, have signed an open letter of support for Amber Heard, nearly six months after she lost a highly publicized defamation suit brought by her ex-husband Depp.
As a result of Heard’s public support, more female artists in the industry have decided to support her. They would likely boycott the award ceremony because of the allegations of abuse against Depp by his ex-wife Amber Heard.
An insider told Daily Mail,
“Depp would liven up an increasingly dull event. But the Amber Heard case means female artists would probably refuse to share the stage.”
Despite the court ruling in Depp’s favor, some people do not believe the actor should be hailed as a hero following his ex-wife’s accusations.
Three BRIT Awards 2023 Nominations For Johnny Depp’s Album 18
According to the Daily Mail, the Pirates of the Caribbean star and Jeff Beck were nominated in three categories for their studio album 18 in BRIT Awards 2023. According to the reports, Depp and the guitarist have been nominated for the Album of the Year award, the Best Group award, and the Alternative/Rock act award for 18, which features two of the actor’s originals.
The actor might gain more personal and professional satisfaction from these awards. Already rumors are swirling around about Johnny Depp’s possible return as Jack Sparrow in the future as the Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer teased Johnny Depp’s possible return to the franchise following his win against Amber Heard in a libel lawsuit. These speculations have generated fan excitement, and the actor has reached 28 million followers on Instagram thanks to the fans’ love.
