, who has been an advocate for abuse survivors, was asked about her stance on the film’s inclusion. "You'll see, I suppose, if I see it. And I don't know how I'll feel if I do,”On Wednesday, it was finally time for Depp to face the press, along with his cast and French director, who helmed the historical drama. But anticlimactically, the press conference was delayed by about 25 minutes, and eventually Maïwenn and the cast took the stage without Depp.

No, not at all. I don’t feel boycotted because I don’t think about Hollywood. I don’t have much further need for Hollywood.
