Judi Dench sparks outrage with remarks on Johnny Depp and Harvey Weinstein
Dame Judi Dench has faced strong criticism after making controversial remarks about actors Johnny Depp and Kevin Spacey, as well as disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein. In recent interviews, the Oscar-winning actress shared her personal views on the three men, all of whom have been embroiled in serious legal and ethical scandals.
Dench, who has worked with Depp on multiple projects, expressed admiration for him despite a 2020 British court ruling. That case determined it was 'substantially true' for a tabloid to call him a 'wife-beater' following allegations of domestic abuse. She has not addressed the ruling publicly.
The backlash highlights growing public intolerance for dismissive attitudes toward abuse allegations. Dench’s remarks have reignited discussions about how influential figures address misconduct in the entertainment industry. For now, she has not issued any further clarification or apology regarding her comments.
