Musician Sam Fender has apologized to an online mob following backlash after he posted an Instagram post referring to Johnny Depp as a “hero”. The photo, featuring Depp and John Beck, was posted before Depp was awarded $10 million in damages in a defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard.
Fender became the target of an outrage mob on social media and chose to apologize in a lengthy Instagram post.
“I want to apologize”, the apology began. “I was invited to briefly meet a musical legend and an actor who has been in almost every film I’ve watched growing up. I went- we chatted music and without thinking I took a photo and posted it as it was pretty surreal”.
