Johnny Depp Supporters Are Demanding Amber Heard Be Fired From 'Aquaman 2'

In his resignation announcement to fans, Depp first thanked his fans for being so supportive of him. "In light of recent events, I would like to make the following short statement," he began. Firstly, I'd like to thank everybody who has gifted me with their support and loyalty."
"I have been humbled and moved by your many messages of love and concern, particularly over the last few days," Depp added, then going on to share the new. "Secondly, I wish to let you know that I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and I have respected and agreed to that request."
Before ending his letter, Depp addressed the accusations against him, as well as the libel lawsuit. "Finally, I wish to say this. The surreal judgment of the court in the U.K. will not change my fight, to tell the truth and I confirm that I plan to appeal," he stated.
"My resolve remains strong and I intend to prove that the allegations against me are false. My life and career will not be defined by this moment in time," Depp added, then concluding his letter by thanking his fans for reading.
Heard has not issued any public statements on the suit, but her attorney, Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, has. "For those of us present for the London High Court trial, this decision and judgment are not a surprise," Bredehoft stated.
Bredehoft then added that Heard is not yet finished battling Depp in court. "Very soon, we will be presenting even more voluminous evidence in the U.S.," she stated. "We are committed to obtaining justice for Amber Heard in the U.S. Court and defending Ms. Heard's Right to Free Speech."
At this time, Warner Bros. does not appear to have issued any comments on Depp's resignation, nor the calls from fans that the studio ask Heard to step down from her role as Mera in the DC Cinematic Universe. She is currently said to be working on the re-shoots for Zack Snyder's Justice League, coming to HBO Max in the future.
