Helena Bonham carter to The Times‘ Rosamund Urwin, posted online on 9.26 at 6 pm:
Quote #1: “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.”
HE to HBC: I respect your viewpoint but have you spoken with HE commenters “Castor Troy, Jr.“, “Lean Pantaloon” and “jjhunsecker“? You probably need to check in with these guys as they know a few things and may be able to point some stuff out.
Quote #2: “[Johny Depp has been] completely vindicated” following his Virginia trial. “I think he’s fine now. Totally fine. My view is that [Amber Heard] got on that pendulum. That’s the problem with these things — people will jump on the bandwagon because it’s the trend and to be the poster girl for it.”
Quote #3: “[What;s happened to J.K. Rowling] is horrendous, a load of bollocks. I think she has been hounded, [and] it’s been taken to the extreme, the judgmentalism of people. She’s allowed her opinion, particularly if she’s suffered abuse. Everybody carries their own history of trauma and forms their opinions from that trauma and you have to respect where people come from and their pain. You don’t all have to agree on everything — that would be insane and boring. She’s not meaning it aggressively, she’s just saying something out of her own experience.”
