The internet is up in arms over the upcoming collaboration between Rihanna and Johnny Depp.
The singer’s news that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star will be in the “Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 fashion show” has been met with mixed reactions, with much of the negative reaction stemming from the recent Depp vs. Heard trial — where Depp emerged victorious as he and ex-wife Amber Heard spent months battling it out in court during their highly publicized defamation trail.
Rihanna Faces Backlash For Including Johnny Depp In Fashion Show

Social media went into a tizzy when Rihanna announced that she would be teaming up with Depp for the fourth volume of the loungewear and lingerie fashion show featuring Fenty’s latest designs.
Within minutes, some critics have expressed their displeasure with the singer, who has been away from the entertainment industry for six years. A critic tweeted“Rihanna stans literally waited 7 years for a ballad and abuser platform,” along with a gif of a woman with a cracked egg in her blonde hair.
Second person recorded that while the “Rude Boy” singer generally doesn’t care about the backlash, they hope “strong enough that his team will be like.. woah maybe this isn’t a good idea.” A third Twitter user felt like Rihanna “going out of her way to, like, rehabilitate the image of a domestic abuser and rapist” is “insane” because they can’t understand why Depp is part of the show.
Another disgruntled observer expected it’s fake news “bcz it’s actually really crazy and disgusting” and the fifth sounded, “even though rihanna believes she’s innocent (which she is), not only is she still a racist and homophobic rape apologist, but she’s also bff with marilyn manson who she likes to collect nazi memorabilia with. that’s who he wants to work with and represent his brand.”

While a critic tell Rihanna that it’s not too late to call everything a “joke”, another add, “everyone is shocked that rihanna is supporting johnny depp, a rapist, abuser & groomer as if she didn’t pose with nicki minaj and her sex offender husband years ago. Like Rihanna didn’t deliver the “all lives matter” segment at the height of Israel’s violence against the Palestinians last year.”
Although rare, Rihanna received support from fans, with one tweeting, “The fact that ppl are so emotionally attached to decisions made by celebrities is weird as fck. like rihanna doesn’t know any of you nggas…” The second supporter demanded, “Rihanna is a strong, independent, successful, talented woman & survivor of domestic abuse. He said #IStandWithJohnnyDepp, a man & survivor of domestic abuse. We are Rihanna’s stan.”
Before the ongoing controversy, Variety had confirmed that Depp would be the first male celebrity to have a “star” moment featured on one of the mother-of-two’s shows. It will also be his first public appearance since he won a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife.
Depp is the latest big name to join the list of other celebrities confirmed to attend “Vol. 4” show. These stars include Rihanna herself, “Abbott Elementary” actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” actress Winston Duke, “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson, “Shang-Chi” star Simu Liu, Marsai Martin, Irina Shayk, Damson Idris, Joan Smalls, Lara Stone, Kornbread and Lilly Singh. Nigerian music stars Burna Boy, Anitta, Don Toliver, and Maxwell will perform at the fashion show.
