Yahoo Movies People aren't happy with Johnny Depp being called an 'outlaw' on the cover of GQ
GQ has been accused of glamorising Johnny Depp’s alleged destructive behaviour on the cover of its latest issue.
TheFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the latest celebrity to grace the men’s magazine front page, alongside an interview, but people have taken issue with him being described as an ‘outlaw.’
Depp has been accused by his ex-wife Amber Heard of domestic violence, is being sued for allegedly punching a crew member during the production of City of Lies, and there are several allegations of destructive behaviour fuelled by alcohol and drugs, so the idea that he is some sort of loveable rogue has not gone down well.
Amber Heard came forward with allegations of domestic abuse and was bullied into dropping the charges. Johnny Depp, meanwhile, is the titular character in the next big Potter blockbuster and on the cover of GQ. Tell me again how these accusations ruin men's careers?

can’t believe i have to say this @britishgq but being accused of domestic violence does not make you cool. it does not make you an “outlaw”. it does not make you a sexy, conflicted hero. it does not mean you know “torment”. it does not lead you to the “sordid beautiful truth”. pic.twitter.com/a2JdZJvRYG

If GQ thought putting Johnny Depp on their cover in the same month as the #MeToo anniversary would get them some attention then they’re fucking right. WHAT 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 THIS https://t.co/uHfQQNVwPS

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's divorce settlement means he gets to do this. He can talk all he wants, while she was forbidden from mentioning the domestic violence allegation again, as part of the terms. pic.twitter.com/jT2BgM2a2H

Though some people loved the piece, much more than the Rolling Stone cover story he featured in last June, which the actor describes in the GQ interview as a sham.
I have read the GQ interview twice and i can't get over this man's courage, love for his children and the truth #johnnydepp@BritishGQ @JonathanHeaf wonderful piece, congrats!!

Depp claimed journalist Stephen Rodrick “walked in with absolutely one intention. And I could see it and I thought maybe I could help him understand, you know?” as well as slamming the magazine’s co-founder and publisher.
“I trusted Jann Wenner, as I knew him through Hunter [S. Thompson],” Depp said. “I trusted what the magazine stood for, or what it used to stand for. I wanted Jann to see if he could write, to see if a piece could be written… to put things in perspective. That’s all, just to put things in perspective.”
Looks like the actor got the perspective he wanted this time around.
