Many saw the appearance as inappropriate in the light of the numerous sexual assault and harassment allegations being brought to light in Hollywood as of late. Depp has been accused of domestic assault and other emotional abuse from his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.

These feelings were especially riled up when Norton began the show by making jokes about Kevin Spacey, who has been recently accused of numerous sex crimes.

Depp then came on stage, and things were played as totally normal, with no remote acknowledgment of past claims against Depp.
