Almost 3 million people want to remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2
A Petition to remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2 has almost reached 3 million signatures
Johnny Depp fans can’t wait to cancel Amber Heard amid his ongoing defamation suit involving his ex-wife.
A petition calling for the actress to be dropped from Aquaman 2 has nearly reached the 3 million signatures mark on a change.org petition.
The campaign’s goal is 3 million signatures, which fans hope is the milestone that Heard will be prevented from reprising her role as Princess Mera in the superhero sequel.
Right now the petition needs under 100,000 signatures to hit the golden number.
The creator of the petition says she made the campaign because she believes allegations that Heard had “been exposed as a domestic abuser” by the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
“Men are victims of domestic abuse, just like women. This must be recognized, and action must be taken to prevent a known abuser from being celebrated within the entertainment industry.”
Jeanne Larson, creator of petition writes.
Fans also view the petition as payback for Depp being dropped by Disney in his role as Captain Jack Sparrow after Heard accused him of abuse.
Heard wrapped filming in January this year and is still scheduled to appear in the DC flick, which is slated for a March 2023 release.
Adidas is contemplating a significant financial blow as it considers writing off $320 million worth of Yeezy shoes following its separation from music and fashion icon Kanye West.
The sportswear giant’s decision to sever ties with West’s Yeezy brand has left a mountain of unsold merchandise, threatening to dent the company’s balance sheet.
The partnership between Adidas and Kanye West, which began in 2013, had been immensely successful, with Yeezy shoes becoming a highly sought-after fashion statement.
However, recent controversies and disagreements between West and Adidas prompted the sportswear company to distance itself from the celebrity designer.
The massive inventory of Yeezy shoes now presents a dilemma for Adidas, as it grapples with finding a solution to deal with the surplus stock. A $320 million write-off could significantly impact the company’s financial performance in the short term.
Adidas is currently exploring various options, including discounting, donating, or repurposing the unsold inventory to mitigate the financial hit.

The conglomerate stressed the importance of implementing measures to mitigate such risks in the future, which include fostering better labour relations and contingency planning to safeguard against potential disruptions.
The message underlined the need for the industry to adapt to the evolving landscape of content creation and distribution, particularly in the digital era.
This warning from Warner Bros Discovery highlights the need for the entertainment industry to recognise the ever-changing dynamics and economic challenges, and the importance of preparedness to maintain its prominent position in the global market.
Philanthropic YouTuber MrBeast, known for his outlandish and extravagant charity stunts, recently financed the construction of 100 wells in Africa, providing clean drinking water to thousands of people.
While the philanthropic gesture is commendable on the surface, it has ignited a wave of controversy and criticism from various quarters.
Critics argue that MrBeast’s approach, although well-intentioned, might not be the most sustainable solution to Africa’s water crisis.
They question the long-term viability of these wells, raising concerns about maintenance and local ownership. Some have even labelled it as a publicity stunt, arguing that it merely scratches the surface of a much deeper issue.
On the other hand, MrBeast’s supporters laud his efforts in raising awareness and mobilising his enormous following to contribute to a worthy cause. They argue that any effort to alleviate the water crisis is a step in the right direction.
In the end, whether MrBeast’s 100 wells in Africa are a game-changing philanthropic success or a mere spectacle remains a subject of intense social debate.
