Have he been jailed? That is what happens when you lose criminal cases. And sure you would believe that only a man could do this.

Didnt he win the devorce suits, and the abuse suits?

What he lost, is a case against a new paper, that claims he was a abuser.
Which ruined his good name, and got him fired from alot of movies.

So rightfully (since he won the other cases), he felt justified to take the news paper to court.
He lost his court case against the news paper.

They are allowed to call people abusive (even if they won their cases, and dont retract or apologies).

Now he loses his role on another movie..... because of the PR broung up, and because JKR is already herself riddled with bad PR.
They likely decided they couldnt also have him on (maybe scared it would effect movie goers, amounts).

Still.... now that Johnny Depp is in 2 movies, and replaced in the 3rd.... a bad series like Fantastic Beasts, has lost me as a viewer.
I aint going to the movies for the 3rd one. The 2nd movie was barely passable, and the 1st kinda sucked (just a lead up type thing).
If not for my love of the Harry Potter books, I wouldnt have gone to any of these.

That was what I thought. And from where my complain of media being free to lie and damage without much repercution. But for some reason the other user is dead set that Deep is a monster with the only evidence being that he didn't win against the newspaper (which again different type of trial and media having a lot of protections even when they are in the wrong, plus damagining new getting like 100x more coverage than retractions).

So the guy didn't do anything wrong, we got evidence that the woman was the one in the wrong, but he ends up losing and screwed? Ok.

Well, yeah, women don't get cancelled. 

But if you're a man and you TWEET inappropriate things 10 fucking years ago and wholeheartedly apologize for it?

I know, it's stupid and unfair, Johnny deserves justice. Cancel culture is ridiculous.

first one was meh and the second was just bad. There was no glory to gain in this (sub)franchise.

Yeah, the fact that people believed Amber over Johnny, even though Amber's girlfriend from 2008-2012 also alleges that Amber was abusive to her, just really takes the cake for me. Johnny gets kicked from both Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Beasts, while Amber gets to continue working on the DC franchise even after Johnny released evidence of Amber's abuse. Both Fantastic Beasts and DC are WB IP's, so why not at least kick them both off of their franchises since they both claim the other was abusive? What a sick society we've carved out for ourselves, where women are automatically believed and men are automatically ignored. 

And not only that, but Amber Heard's own stylist and cops that were reported to the scene admitted they saw no injuries on her face without any makeup on, yet the judge still believes her hogwash story and Amber still gets to keep her job despite the fact that she's a walking PR nightmare for any studio. 

Hopefully the defamation case (separate from the libel case) will prompt WB to do the right thing and fire her sorry ass, but I'm not holding my breath. If they had any integrity whatsoever, they would've fired her as soon as that cell phone audio were leaked.

Normally I'd dismiss this sort of statement as an MRA talking point and nothing more...but man it certainly seems to be the case, doesn't it?

Johnny Depp will still receive his full eight figure (at least $10 million) salary from Warner Bros. for the movie. He is getting paid more than Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law.Poor Johnny Depp. At least all his fans who will never make as much money as he does can rest easy knowing he will get well compensated for doing nothing.

He didn't do nothing, movie has been filming since mid September so he will have almost certainly filmed some scenes already. 

He has filmed exactly one scene.

"According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp filmed just one scene for “Fantastic Beasts 3” before exiting the project. Depp and Warner Bros. announced November 6 the actor was resigning from the franchise after losing his libel case against The Sun."

Pretty glad Johnny Depp isn't getting cast anymore. Nothing to do with any allegations, just kind of sick of him by now.

Mads Mikkelsen confirmed to replaced Johnny Depp as Grindelwal in Fantastic Beasts 3 (good choice IMO):
