Stars typically lay low on such topics, fearing the kind of Cancel Culture blowback that can stall, if not doom, one\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham Carter either doesn\u2019t fear the mob or doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>The British actress slammed Cancel Culture in no uncertain terms in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/helena-bonham-carter-good-on-young-men-for-finding-middle-aged-beauty-sexy-5smkzmnm3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chat with The Times UK.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you ban a genius for their sexual practices? There would be millions of people who, if you looked closely enough at their personal life, you would disqualify them. You can\u2019t ban people. I hate cancel culture. It has become quite hysterical and there\u2019s a kind of witch hunt and a lack of understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bonham Carter moved on to J.K. Rowling, the mind behind the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d book and film franchise. The actress played Bellatrix Lestrange in four films in the saga, and she\u2019s outraged that the woke mob has been hounding Rowling for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling\u2019s sin? She disagrees with elements of the trans community, a stance which has led to serial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/jk-rowling-s-drawn-backlash-anti-trans-beliefs-hits-back-putin-citing-rcna21587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacks on her career and character.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been taken to the extreme, the judgmental-ism of people. She\u2019s allowed her opinion, particularly if she\u2019s suffered abuse. Everybody carries their own history of trauma and forms their opinions from that trauma and you have to respect where people come from and their pain. You don\u2019t all have to agree on everything \u2014 that would be insane and boring. She\u2019s not meaning it aggressively, she\u2019s just saying something out of her own experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPotter\u201d regulars like Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe have joined the attacks on Rowling over her trans comments. A recent \u201cHarry Potter\u201d reunion barely featured Rowling.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham Carter suggests those trying to cancel stars like Rowling and Johnny Depp often have ulterior motives, and they\u2019re far from flattering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think there\u2019s a lot of envy unfortunately and the need to tear people down that motors a lot of this cancelling. And schadenfreude.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helena Bonham Carter has appeared in some of the biggest movies of the past 30 years, but she\u2019s still not a household name.
