Rihanna victim of domestic violence in 2009
Why this controversy?
Because Johnny Depp, who has become persona non grata in Hollywood, was found guilty in 2020 of acts of domestic violence against his ex-wife Amber Heard, following his trial against the British tabloid
The Sun.
Rihanna's choice surprised her fans all the more because the singer herself suffered domestic violence when she was in a relationship with singer Chris Brown.
Photos of his swollen face shocked the world 13 years ago, in 2009. On social networks, the hashtag #DitchDepp quickly emerged.
A decision deemed "disappointing"
Music producer Drew Dixon called Rihanna's decision to feature Johnny Depp on her show "really disappointing".
British singer and actor Olly Alexander, who previously worked with Rihanna as part of a campaign for Savage X Fenty, has meanwhile disassociated himself from the singer's brand.
