Depp made the comments in a recent interview while promoting his new directorial project Modì: Three Days on the Wing of Madness.

Speaking about the moment, Depp said, “It literally stopped in a millisecond, like, while I was doing the movie. They said, ‘We’d like you to resign.’ But what was really in my head was, they wanted me to retire.”

Gregg Wallace sacked from MasterChef after fresh sexual misconduct allegations from over 50 people

Highlights:

  • Gregg Wallace has been dropped from MasterChef following a misconduct probe.
  • BBC was approached by over 50 individuals with new allegations, including sexual misconduct.
  • Wallace says an independent investigation cleared him of “serious” claims but found him guilty of inappropriate language.
  • He has hit back at the BBC, accusing them of betrayal and failing to support his autism diagnosis.

Gregg Wallace has been officially removed from MasterChef after more than 50 new individuals came forward with misconduct allegations spanning his two-decade television career. The move follows an ongoing investigation led by law firm Lewis Silkin, commissioned by the show’s production company, Banijay UK, into Wallace’s behaviour.

While Wallace claims he has been cleared of the “most serious and sensational” accusations, he was reportedly found responsible for inappropriate language and comments dating back as far as 2005. The BBC, which aired MasterChef, is now facing renewed scrutiny over how long-standing concerns about Wallace’s behaviour were handled internally.
