@thetimes: Has Johnny Depp beaten cancel culture with his new film Ebenezer? After six years largely sidelined from Hollywood following two major legal cases and a single significant role in the French drama Jeanne du Barry, the Pirates of the Caribbean star is stepping back into the mainstream spotlight. Directed by horror filmmaker Ti West, this new adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol sees Depp take on the role of Scrooge. While Chief Film Critic Kevin Maher finds the film itself uninspired compared to classic holiday versions, he notes that Depp keeps his usual cartoonish tics in check—trading them for facial prosthetics, a quirky English accent, and a soft, self-tortured performance that suggests he is ready for his Hollywood close-up once again.

He shouldn't be cancelled over a toxic relationship, both of them beat one another and you shouldn't be cancelled for being in a toxic relationship, many people become trapped in a toxic relationship and he shouldn't be judged for it.
