Johnny Depp recently appeared at Rihanna's Fenty show despite facing huge criticism.
Recently, it was confirmed that the actor would be the first male celebrity to feature in the singer-turned-fashion and beauty guru's catwalk.
But after the big announcement, Rihanna faces criticism for giving the actor a platform following his defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Depp won the lawsuit against his ex-wife over an article she wrote for The Washington Post in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse.
Even though Heard did not mention Depp's name in the article but it was obvious that it was directed towards him and so he filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming that false allegations from his ex-wife cost him his career and had irreparable implications for his personal life.

He went on to win the trial, with a judge awarding him around $15 million in damages.
Heard was also awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
Ever since the trial, Depp has managed to gain all the limelight and has enjoyed huge opportunities, including going on tour with rock legend Jeff Beck and working on a new movie.
His latest appearance saw him take part in Rihanna's fashion show for her brand, Fenty.
Depp was seen walking through some dimly lit woods surrounded by dancers, as Outkast's tune 'So Fresh, So Clean' played over the top.

At the end of his walk, he then approached a tree, before resting against it.
Before his appearance, Heard's fans took to social media to share their disappointment at Rihana for giving Depp a platform to participate.
One user said: "If she’s not dumping pig’s blood all over his head, I don’t know why she could possibly think this is a good idea. Very disgusting and embarrassing for her."
Another added: "Tell me again about how sexual assault allegations ruin mens lives?"

A third lashed out at Rihanna, commenting: "Is this the man you want representing your brand? Somebody who calls women ‘c*m-guzzlers’, promises ‘global humiliation’ against [his ex wife Amber Heard], and [who] actively attempted to ruin a woman's career?"
The show was a follow-up to Vol 3, which saw Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, Gigi Hadid and Vanessa Hudgens involved.
