Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them)
The controversy is not new to Johnny Depp. The actor was also accused of physical abuse by his then lady Amber Heard when he played Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. It was terrible for the people who accepted to work with Warner and David Yates. She was “delighted that Johnny is playing a significant part in the film,” even J.K. Rowling. Daniel Radcliffe thought it hypocritical that the actor Jamie Waylett of Harry Potter had been deleted from the series for being indicted for using marijuana, whereas Depp faced far more severe accusations.

Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson (Urban Myths)
Another instance of Hollywood whitewashing was Joseph Fiennes acting like Michael Jackson for a new episode in Sky Arts’ Urban Myths. In a tweet, Jackson’s daughter, Paris, stated that she “was so unbelievably outraged” that she wanted “to vomit.” The retroactivity was so dire that the studio opted to draw the whole episode.
