This weekend, moviegoers may be flocking to theaters to catch the latest action comedy, The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. The film features a scene where a character played by Hannah Waddingham makes a controversial joke referencing the tumultuous relationship between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
The history between Heard and Depp dates back to their divorce in 2016, which has been marred by legal battles and allegations of abuse. In a 2020 UK libel trial, Depp lost a case against a tabloid that labeled him a 'wife-beater,' with the judge ruling in favor of Heard. Subsequently, a US jury trial in 2022 found both parties liable for defamation, with Depp awarded significant damages.
