Today, Variety announced  Tubi’s intention to debut a film that they rushed through production about the Depp v. Heard trial that ended on June first. 

Given the sensitive material discussed in this case, including the dynamics of abuse, spousal rape, domestic violence, domestic abuse and substance abuse, there is a growing concern that this rush to release is focused more on controversy than on care and understanding.

Several Domestic Violence experts have spoken out on the damage and potential damage to victims and survivors of abuse that the coverage Depp v. Heard trial has contributed to.

There is a growing concern that a film like this, if the subject matter is handled incorrectly, will continue to alienate survivors from resources they desperately need.

Additionally, the trial is not a completely settled matter — there are still appeals in process, and it seems far too soon to weigh in on the lives of Depp & Heard while this continues to be an ongoing legal matter for both of them. 

We’re asking that you please consider not going forward with this film.
