The San Sebastian Film Festival has come out swinging against those who criticized if for bestowing its highest honor, the Donostia Award, to controversial actor Johnny Depp. Among the critics were…

who said they were “very surprised” that Depp is receiving the award. “This speaks very badly of the festival and its leadership, and transmits a terrible message to the public: ‘it doesn’t matter if you are an abuser as long as you are a good actor,’” Cristina Andreu, president of Spain’s Association of Female Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media had told the Associated Press.

“In these present times, when lynching on social media is rife, we will always defend two basic principles which form part of our culture and of our body of laws: that of the presumption of innocence and that of the right to reintegration,” José Luis Rebordinos, director of the San Sebastian Festival, said in a statement on Friday.

, I don't know if you are aware of this, but the Festival Director didn't DEFEND Mr. Depp OR his award. He defended Mr. Depp's right to the presumption of innocence. Everyone has that right. If YOU are accused of something, YOU have that right, also! JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Amber Heard was literally caught red-handed assaulting her wife by a police officer at the airport. So damn right her word is not good enough to condamn a man, especially since it's already proved she lied under oath about donating money to sick children.

Exactamente, gracias por la valentía 🙏🙏 JusticeForJohnnyDepp

If only variety had that degree of rational and independet thought...

He is talented and respected and deserves all the awards. I had the pleasure to sit in an audience where he gave a talk a few years ago and he radiated warmth and was so nice. He is the victim of a smear campaign.

Precisely! JohnnyDepp is a good guy and he would never abuse anyone, not ever! JusticeForJohnnyDepp

¡VIVA sansebastianfes y LA VERDAD! №cancelcultureisoverparty WEREPEAT Señor Rebordinos got a little something for reactive CancelCulture based on lies & the people who try to use it to their advantage👇 if y'all

JD was abused by this Woman. Are we not going to take that seriously? He has tons of evidence to prove his innocence & her guilt. All she has is stories, & Pic of graffiti & Depp napping to prove abuse. She also committed perjury by lying under oath. Why Is SHE still Working?

He deserves both awards for everything hes done and accomplished

Bravo! 👏👏👏 They have done their homework, as should MSM! JusticeForJohnnyDepp ThankYouSanSebastian

He's innocent.

And this talentless gold digger Amber Heard gets to WORK? Nah, Leave Johnny alone!

He deserves this honor and many more.

Heard already confessed that she was the one abusing Depp.

Johnny Depp has not been arrested for Domestic Violence. Amber Heard had been arrested for Domestic Violence. The evidence is there.

He just spoke plain truth that any people bother to research can tell. But that’s apparently too much too ask for from MSM nowadays 🤷‍♀️

Bravo! JusticeForJohnnyDepp WeStandWithJohnnyDepp

We love to see it! Finally someone who can use common sense and has morals ❤️❤️❤️

Their response is 🙌🙌🙌 We stand by Johnny & media can't smear him, we see the truth!!! JusticeForJohnnyDepp Truth Support

Yeah, Hollywood can learn a thing or two from this. We have Amber Heard confessing to brutal serial abuse of Johnny Depp, but hey somehow Johnny Depp being the victim or Amber Heard accusing him of being an abuser while she herself having a history of abuse is 'controversial'

As he should be
