The actress called out a 'witch hunt and a lack of understanding' and said that the treatment of Rowling has been 'horrendous.'

When asked whether there is a path to redemption for such Hollywood notables, the Oscar-nominated actress said, “I don’t think there is for someone like Kevin Spacey. And Johnny certainly went through it.”

In responding to a follow-up question specifically about Depp, who has co-starred with her in multiple films and is godfather to the two children she shares with former partner Tim Burton, Bonham Carter said she feels the

I love Helena Bonham Carter she is a stunning woman and just over all amazing

Thank you! We need strong humans, women, to stand up against these bullies!!!!!!!

W

Queen!!

“Do you ban a genius for their sexual practices?' If this doesn't make you shiver, I don't know what will. On Rowling, 'she’s not meaning it aggressively' - she literally stands with hate groups - and people who spoke out against her 'are protecting their fan base'. Speechless

👏👏👏

Wonderful Helena! Supportive of people that stand up for the truth. Imagine being so ridiculous as to turn this against her for something she has not even mentioned… shows how pathetic this self-righteous mentality has become 😬 LetWomenSpeak jkrowlinglove

BOOM!! HelenaBonhamCarter is not just gorgeous, but strong, and courageous too... she's a bad ass

She is right. The cancel culture is out of control. If you don’t agree with them then they go after you. People are allowed to have different opinions.

JK Rowling is still loaded with money Not arrested Nothing happened to her Why is she - and not trans people - being treated like a victim if she’s the one who started the hating?

True!

Yes queen. 👑

YES

Now I can be happy with her death on the movie 😁

🫶👏👏👏

I used to think she was cool, but just a stuffy old rich white lady 😭

Brave of Binham carter with the meida witchhunts these days. Well said.

That's a shame

HELENA NO! DON'T SUPPORT THAT WOMAN

It is funny how celebrities don't want consequences for their actions, they can be homophobic, transphobic, toxic, abusive and they want everyone to accept it without critics

Nice

What a queen

Girl... 🙄

Helena Bonham is an angel, she doesn't support this 'my way or the high way' type of thinking. Cancel culture is evil.

More reasons to love this woman.

She’s always been a no nonsense, tell it like it is actress.

Round of applause for defending Depp (who was a victim and got canceled unfairly), but Rowling........ If HBC really cares about the woman she should try to make her understand why her views are hurtful to so many people.

She’s gonna get whatever comes to her now because she could have shut the fuck up but now we know she sucks so WE can decide not to support her. Deciding not to support nazi sympathizers like she and Rowling (see who their friends are) is not being cancelled it’s just our right.

she's so old she should not talk about this stuff. her generation is so out of touch it's embarrassing at this point

Queen.

I'm just here to read replies & block the abuse apologists JohnnyDeppKeepsWinning

Yikes

I love this woman. She is right.

Me encanta cuando dan su opinion defendiendo lo que creen, aunque saben que se les vendra una avalancha de los que dicen defender los derechos. Bravo Helena 👏👏👏

Rowling literally said biological sex exists and for this she has been attacked relentlessly. Well guess what, biological sex exists and cannot be changed!! Trans women are men.

Despite what you might believe he was vindicated, so good for him, and good for HBC about speaking out about cancel culture

Cue the usual suspects claiming 'REEEE CANCEL CULTURE ISN'T REAL!!!!!' to distract from the fact that it's all those with 'Kindness' in their Twitter bio that are the most vile creatures walking the planet. Projection, projection, projection.....

👏🏼Love Helena Bonham Carter

Good! Cancel culture is utterly toxic & is abused to the point where you can end someone's livelihood simply by politically disagreeing with them.

Way to go Helena!🙌

Hollywood is a mafia, they protect each other, some unwillingly, afraid for their careers, others willingly, bc they think they are ' special'...HBC seems to belong to the latter ones

oh dear Helena, she’s cleary still dealing with that time Rihanna dragged her on national tv

Always loved this angel. The quirkinness of her characters seem to be a projection of her own unique personality.

Ew

I would have liked this if she had only stood up for Johnny and not Rowling.

Oh do f**k off

V disappointing comng from such accomplished actress

What Helena Bonham Carter did to Emma Thompson tells you everything you need to know about her values and disdain for other women

She's so brave

Helena Bonham Carter chose to work with a childrapist(Polanski) There is no surprise she also support a man that abused a woman Meanwhile experts supports Amber Heard

Good for her

Better to speak this late than to never speak, I guess?

And here are those who denounce the harassment of AH in their total hypocrisy ⬇️

100%. The hounding has to stop. A lot of entitled pricks are what they are. Just because a person doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't mean you just ban their art. And by the ban -these 20 people going around saying others who do otherwise is 'intolerant' and 'not kind'.

I am so disappointed in her and yet not surprised

🔥🔥🔥💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰Queen

This is why I love, love, LOVE Helena Bonham Carter!

She is a queen! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gotta love that 'she has her opinion' while simultaneously denying others theirs by saying they are motivated by fanbase.

jordanatuita kkkkkk

pain

She is spot on

👍

I hate that I share a birthday with you. You didn't need to talk out of your ass because your silence spoke volumes

Boomer boomers

Hollywood is f*ck*ng nasty supporting always abusers

Im so embarrassed aha

Queeeeeen

Well ... at least she's on Johnny's side and not Amber's.

英国人不是人

Disappointing. Not surprising.

Good for her! Most people in Hollywood are cowards.

I loved her and now I love her more 🥰

So many women in his defense and only one, who had a financial benefit to lie.

Love ya Helena 😘 💗 💓 thank you for istandwithjohnny and having to swat flues because of it ❤️ ♥️

I love her for this.

Thanks Helena!

say it isnt true 😭

yup, definitely the wife of Tim Burton alright

rodrigosalem Helena ❤️

Lost all respect I had for Helena after the bullshit she's spewed this year

Cancel culture serves no one.

Good on Helena for saying it!

She certainly knows where her 'career bread' is buttered. Tim Burton & J.K.Rowling have kept her afloat for decades now.

Well now we know she is one of the actors the Guardians are talking about in the Holiday special👀💀

So many 2022 accounts really dig this article

What cancel culture? GenX and Elder Millennials had our best lives in the 80/90s. Hell , find us a way back and we’ll gladly stay. Today’s “Cancel Culture” was yesterdays “safe space”

Another transphobic for Rowling's club of transphobics.

She’s the perfect example of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. She married Tim Burton, didn’t she?

The comments section here is far more entertaining than a Harry Potter. I don't know what that is.

JK doesn’t deserve these supports because all she does is attacking trans people every single day on social media. I understand the cancel culture being far fetched sometimes but JK has totally lost it.

She thinks *Kevin Spacey* should be canceled, Depp (who’s also a shitbag!) shouldn’t, and that JK Rowling (not as big a shitbag as the first two but still kind of shitty) shouldn’t. So basically she’s not against cancel culture, she just wants it to be HER choice.

As a decent women should 😌

🍅🍅🍅

Helena Bonham Carter sat & thought 'How can I piss off everyone?' then gave THR a call.

gross

She's right

Thank you for printing another article of support for Johnny Depp.

Cringey

anyways we stand with Amber Heard!

Love her!!!

Women like this transcend continents.

Bravo to HBC for speaking the Truth abt a Man who in nothing but kind, who was nothing but kind to Amber & her free loader friends. Abuser Amber who took advantage of Metoo & true victims to be a poster girl when her victim finally said enough was enough.

Good on her. Fuck cancel culture.

Not enough vomit gifs in the world for this.

The good ol' days when rapists could be rapists.

She is a clown for defending a transphobe and an abuser (and transfobe and racist)

The real adult queen with stellar box office unlike Danny.

Trans community is very toxic in their approach. It's either you laud their movement or you're labeled as an enemy, even if you 100% support them. JKR is trying to have a different conversation, but Trans ppl keep making it about themselves.

She KNOWS he’s the one who was abused in that sad story. A do many like Rihanna, also a survivor, Jamie Lee Curtis, a feminist, and now Ms Helena Bonham Carter. Maybe y’all should look at what YOU’VE been supporting because it was a LIE and 2.5 million + of us saw it and heard it

Her hero.

What a joke she is. I imagine Tim and her knew full well that Depp was abusive and kept hiring him because it made them millions. Some women just have low standards when it comes to men.

Cancel culture needs to stop. Everyone should be entitled to their own opinion

Mulher de coragem...tem personalidade e não se deixa assustar por pessoas ignorantes. Parabéns Helena ...

Good for her

She’s right. Helena is one of the few actresses in Hollywood that is not afraid to speak up and be herself. And stand up for those that she knows were wronged. She is not interested in the mob mentality surrounding Hollywood. Love to see it! A real one.

Why is vindicated in apostrophes?

Dubla yikes

O enterro

Disgusting

I'm Liberal but Liberal Hollywood needs to get over themselves if you can support directors who have molested kids then you can put up with conservative actors.

She has always stood with him. She knows him too well to have ever bought that BS Ambers peddled all these years.

Detest cancel culture. It stops promotion of discussion, changing perspective on a topical issue. Alienates those with strong opinion, which leads to polarisation of objective. Only when we are able to truly say what we think then we will be free to challenge our own thoughts

I knew I liked her for a reason 👏

Is there something in the water these British women are drinking cos how tf is your country so saturated with terfs. Is it infectious? What is going on?

Helena disgusts me. She isn't only defending terfs, but also saying that women who come forward to talk about domestic violence & sexual assault are jumping on a bandwagon? Like yeah all women want is to get globally humiliated and harassed for 6 years just because it's so fun.

Our queen

not surprised

JK Rowling attacked Heard in 2017. Remember The Sun article in 2018 naming Depp as a wife beater was addressed to her because 5 months earlier JKR had decided to publicly discuss Heard and Depp's NDA and minimise the NDA's admission that there was 'physical and emotional harm'.

Good, I like her even more now!

Yes. Many thanks to her for her dignity and bravery.

Ew. Won't be wanting to see her face again.

Good enough of this women can’t be abusers she’s right AMBER TURD latched onto a movement for self profit, greed and self entitlement … Thank God Johnny Depp is still alive

Wow, I guess she’s dead to me on several counts. Sad. I always knew she was kooky but apparently she’s locked in her own bubble of wrong.

She's such a queen speaking facts!!

Bravo.

Love her

HBC will not sit idly by & watch extremists destroy her people. Speak up the rest of you. You know the exwife of Depp lied. She had a horrible rep in Hollywood long before this trial. She burned and extorted many in high positions. Prob why elon reinstated his attorney to twitter

Helena, please, i beg you, stop.

It's time to cancel, cancel culture. It's seriously gone insane. People need to learn how to use the block button and accept that not everyone has the same view points.

She will suffer the consequences of stating the obvious

Thank-you Helena🎉👏👑... Johnny Depp proved defamation WITH MALICE on all counts and MSM still can't bring themselves to print a positive story about it...

WE STAN 💅🏻

Hell yeah. The tide is turning.

Excellent article by Helena Bonham Carter.

Let's face it, cancel culture is for the twitter kids and industry PR

YES, agree.

rodrigosalem souluuca

Yes that's my girl!!!

Full support and love to Queen Helena ❤

Sherylynn_R 👏👏👏

Agreed. 💯💯

Queen !

Cancel Culture? You mean you don’t want consequences. For every action there is a reaction. Grow up, even kids understand it.

🙌🏽🙌🏽 Love Helena!!! ❤️

Good for her

Queen

Believe this woman. Because she knows what she is talking about

❤️

JohnnyDeppKeepsWinning JohnnyDeppDeservesAnApology johnnydeppgotjustice johnnydeppisarockstar 🙏🏻💙💫

love her 😍🥰Queen👸👑

Amber Turd will always be remembered for shitting on her ex's bed and for believing that she is a victim.💩💩💩🤮🤮🤮

Good; Now that Amber's lies are out in the open and the world has seen her for who she is, it's time for the healing to begin. It's funny she wanted to become the face of metoo, and she has, just in a cautionary way that shows the risk the movement has to be abused.

Johnny Depp Keeps on Winning 🏆 JusticeForJohnnyDepp JohnnyDeppKeepsWinning AmberHeardDoesNOTSpeakForMe AmberHeardIsFinished AmberHeardIsAHusbandBeater

I absolutely love that woman!

JusticeForJohnnyDepp JohnnyDeppKeepsWinning AmberHeardDoesNOTSpeakForMe AmberHeardIsFinished AmberHeardIsAHusbandBeater

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good

All the haters and abuse apologist can go and keep sucking the abusive woman’s behind. Helena is supporting a victim. She’s not an abuse apologist like the lot of you who think “women can’t be abusers”😒

She is so real 💅 gotta love her.

Love Helena 🥰

Urgh.

As she should! Icon spitting facts! IStandWithJohnnyDepp

bye helena

HOW DARE SHE?!?!

An icon speaking up in support of survivors of abuse. We love to see it 💞

The worms have taken hold.

Helena Bonham Carter is absolutely right! JohnnyDeppKeepsWinning

Not everyone in the internet tropes are right, there are mistakes and extreme positions so, everybody has the right to firm an opinion

Oh ffs Helena 😒

Always good to see common sense prevail

What is cancel culture?, even Mel Gibson is still getting roles.

Cancel culture blows

Gross. As if these wealthy people are more defenseless and powerless than the people they have tried to destroy with their massive wealth and influence. She’s sucking up to big celebrities just to stay relevant and working.

Bless you, Helena Bonham Carter! Thank you for your bravery in defending good people. 🙏

The beauty about British and Irish celebrities is that they don't give a single flying fuck what Gen Z and Americans think.

Love and respect to people who just say it like it is! Class act!

This whole new trend of Harry Potter stars defending transphobe J.K. Rowling needs to die.

Cancel culture doesnt even exist. Everyone gets renewed for a new season eventually.

And she's right you have losers believeing in amber

She just pissed a couple of her friends can’t keep their mouths shut

Could I love her more?

Fuck cancel culture

And now here comes all the anger from people who haven’t read the fucking article!

Now the nutters are gonna go for her. 'Never liked You? Why does she hate us?' here it comes.

You can just say nothing sometimes, you know

She right

Transphobia and domestic violence shouldn’t be classed under “cancel culture” it downplays what Jk and Johnny actually did

Ugh whatever.

Never liked you HBC 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Brit actors are weird

And she’s right.

Full support ❤️

Sadly now she's said that they'll come for her now
