Johnny Depp: How an almost severed finger made the world fall back in love with him | Opinion
Depp was boycotted by fans, lost his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow, faced online backlash after allegation of abuse by ex-wife Amber Heard. But now, the tables have turned.

He was the terrible big bad, who not only abused his former spouse Amber Heard, but whose influence slowed down her career like no other - an opinion piece written by Heard in The Washington Post had convinced us of it being so.
He was boycotted by fans, he lost his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise and faced the brunt of the online backlash that Heard's allegations elicited. But now, it seems the tables have turned.
