More than a year after the high-profile defamation case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, fans are making it clear they haven't forgotten. Ahead of the annual Cannes Film Festival, protesters began sharing the hashtag 'CannesYouNot' on social media.
The 2023 Cannes Film Festival got underway on Tuesday in France. Depp, who stars in the film Jeanne du Barry, was in attendance — drawing the ire of Heard's supporters.The French film about King Louis XV premiered at the festival, kicking off its events."Hi um, Depp isn’t the first rapist or abuser that has been celebrated at the Cannes film festival. Also maybe celebrities and the press should start boycotting it. I know they won’t, but that doesn’t mean the festival isn’t a mess.
"I haven’t read much about that. But it can always be better. We will keep pushing for it to be better," Portman said when asked about the festival's choice to open with Depp's film. "'As always, I stand with the brave survivors of sexual assault and harassment. It's not your fault. I believe you.'"- Brie Larson #CannesYouNot," a Twitter user posted, quoting a tweet from Larson in 2017.
Ultimately, a jury found that Heard was liable for defaming Depp in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she claimed to be a victim of sexual violence.
