Helena Bonham Carter has spoken out in favor of two of her closest — and contentious — co-workers: Johnny Depp and J.K. Rowling.
In a recent interview with The Times, Bonham Carter bashed "cancel culture," saying, "Do you ban a genius for their sexual practices? There would be millions of people who if you looked closely enough at their personal life you would disqualify them. You can't ban people. I hate cancel culture. It has become quite hysterical and there's a kind of witch hunt and a lack of understanding." As for specific Hollywood A-listers who fell victim to such ostracization, Bonham Carter said Depp "certainly went through it."
