JOHNNY DEPP: AWARDS YES – JOBS NO!

Despite being accurately described as a “wife beater,” Johnny Depp,58, got an honorary Outstanding Contribution award at the San Sebastian Film Festival this week. Before the ceremony Johnny, who’s been griping that Hollywood blackballed him, ominously declared “Nobody is safe from cancel culture!” Naturally, women’s domestic abuse charities complained loudly that the film honor is disrespectful of abuse survivors.

Ironically, later this month Johnny is scheduled to receive another honorary award in the Czech Republic.
