Helena Bonham Carter is sharing her thoughts surrounding some of her controversial peers

In a new interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, the actress, 56, said she believes Johnny Depp, who she has starred alongside in numerous films, has been “completely vindicated” following his six-week defamation trial against Amber Heard earlier this year.

“I think he’s fine now,” Bonham Carter, who spoke to the publication after being named the first female president of the London Library, said. “Totally fine.”

Bonham Carter’s comments come months after a Virginia jury found that Heard, 36, defamed Depp, 59, in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed about domestic violence, though she didn’t name her ex-husband in the article. Depp was awarded more than $10 million in damages, and Heard won one of her defamation counterclaims and was awarded $2 million. They are both appealing the verdicts.
