Rihanna has plenty of projects to look forward to in the coming days: Superbowl halftime show, a song on the upcoming Wakanda Forever sountrack, and her Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 fashion show.
The Rated R singer, however, is facing backlash over a decision regarding the fashion show. According to TMZ, Johnny Depp is set to appear as a featured surprise guest.
Of course, this is happening very soon after Depp was accused of abuse by Amber Heard. He then sued her for defamation, and ultimately, both were awarded damages.
Twitter erupted upon hearing this news.
\u201crihanna can't be serious? with all these beautiful and unproblematic men in hollywood, and johnny depp is the one that appeals to you the most?\u201d— Kat (@Kat) 1667469473
\u201cRihanna giving Johnny Depp clout is actually a really good example of why it means nothing when someone says \u201cas a victim of domestic violence, I support JD\u201d. Like sorry that you went through that however it is still very not OK to support abusers!!!\u201d— Rich Clarkophile (@Rich Clarkophile) 1667483330
\u201c@PopCrave I\u2019m so confused why he\u2019s getting praise? Rihanna, this is NOT you. I figure out of anyone, you would know what sexual assault is\u2026.\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1667464193
\u201c@PopCrave if this is true im so disappointed in her\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1667464193
\u201ceveryone shocked that rihanna supports johnny depp as if she wasn't posing with nicki minaj and her sex offender husband last year\u201d— \ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab (@\ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab) 1667465316
\u201cSavage x Fenty is already a flop adding Johnny Depp to the mix is just another example of how out of touch Rihanna actually is\u201d— Chrysanthemum (@Chrysanthemum) 1667468205
\u201cI love how everyone knows and agrees tht Johnny Depp is an abuser, but it takes something like Rihanna putting him in a show for them to speak ab it. Better late than never? But where was this energy for Amber in May? #apologizetoamberheard #DARVODepp\u201d— Sophia (@Sophia) 1667498352
\u201cCrazy to me. Literally in what world. Where is her team? Her publicist? HER BRAIN https://t.co/w8QLrZJluj\u201d— Meech (@Meech) 1667475333
\u201cout of all the unproblematic white men in hollywood rihanna and her team go for johnny depp? like tf??\u201d— linda (@linda) 1667466106
\u201c@PopCrave That's a horrible decision coming from another woman who suffered from abusive partner. I don't get it just why?? It's her company so there's no way someone forced her into having him... so why would she even think about having him. What is he going to add to the show!!! Awful \ud83d\ude16\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1667498412
TMZ also reported Depp—who will be wearing clothing from the men's collection—has already filmed his segment.
His part will be included in the show's premiere on November 9 on Amazon Prime Video.
