'No one is safe' from cancel culture: Johnny Depp

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor made the comments on Wednesday when he was in Spain to accept the San Sebastian International Film Festival's honorary Donostia Award, given annually to recognize "outstanding contributions to the film world" from "great names who will be part of cinema history forever," according to the festival's website.

While accepting the prestigious career achievement during a press conference, Depp seemingly addressed the fallout from his ex Amber Heard's domestic abuse allegations against him, which he's repeatedly denied.

"It can be seen as an event in history that lasted for however long it lasted, this cancel culture, this instant rush to judgment based on what essentially amounts to polluted air," Depp said, according to Deadline.

"It's so far out of hand now that I can promise you that no one is safe. Not one of you. No one out that door. No one is safe," he added.

According to the actor, "it takes one sentence and there's no more ground, the carpet has been pulled."

"It's not just me that this has happened to, it's happened to a lot of people," Depp said. "This type of thing has happened to women, men. Sadly at a certain point, they begin to think that it's normal. Or that it's them. When it's not."
