I personally don't think allegations alone should ever be the reason to get rid of anybody. The problem, however, is when you're an entertainer fronting a multi-million dollar project. Even if you're completely innocent of all charges, the allegations by themselves may be enough to have you removed from a movie, show, etc. It's not fair, but I don't know what can be done about it.

I don't see the issue with recasting (not just here, but with any franchise movie). Not to be all "old man shouts at trees" but there were 3 different Batmen in 4 different movies when I was growing up and it never confused me any. Recasting is never ideal but I fail to see why any character should be sidelined just because an actor or actress either can't or won't keep playing them.

We don't know the details, but this is a he said-she said thing. Not conclusive enough to fire her, I don't think.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
Toxic relationships are a thing. People beat the shit out of each other. It happens.

Not only that. Some abused women can't runaway because either they have no means of income or they're emotionally dependant of their abusers.
Or at least, that's what I've seen happen.
About the topic of the threead, I have not opinion. I mean, this stuff is in the courts, right? I would wait for what happens there. But I honestly don't get too interested much for the personal life of strangers.
So can recordings.
Now, I have no clue about Depp's and Heard's interactions while dating and married. I leave that to the courts to sort out (again). But I consider this a smear campaign that is done out of revenge against Heard, and an example of the very culture she herself spoke out against in 2018.

«Speaking generally, it is because of the desire of the tragic poets for the marvellous that so varied and inconsistent an account of Medea has been given out» (Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History [4.56.1])
Lol, some people are seriously still defending Heard afer this? She's a textbook abuser judging by these tapes. And there's plenty of evidence against her even outside of the Johnny Depp thing. Ffs, she's been arrested for domestic abuse a decade ago.
