Naomie Harris Criticizes 'Disturbing' Amount of Media Coverage Johnny Depp & Amber Heard's Trial Received

“It’s hard not to have followed that case because it was so rammed down our throats every day,” Naomie told with The Independent. “It was all over social media, all over the news, everywhere.”

She added, “I think there’s something quite disturbing about that, actually, because there are some serious events happening in the world that deserve much greater airtime than they’re having because this kind of thing is being aired.”

Naomie then pointed out that there are other more important news stories that have not received the same amount of attention.

“I don’t understand why, with something that should have been a very private case between two people, the whole world was allowed access to it,” Naomie said. “I find it really bizarre and problematic. We televised that but not Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial, which is much more relevant and important. I have real issues with that.”

Naomie then addressed whether the verdict in the trial – which found that Amber did defame Johnny in her op-ed referring domestic abuse – will affect the #MeToo movement.

“It’s way more powerful than one particular case and one individual,” Naomie explained. “It has a momentum that will not be derailed, it’s too entrenched. It will continue. Changes as a result of the MeToo movement are in place now.”

If you didn’t know, Johnny and Naomie starred together in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

This other star also called out the media for the amount of coverage Johnny and Amber‘s trial was given.
