Helena Bonham Carterilla on kaksi läheistä ystävää, joiden ura on melkein tuhoutunut niin sanotun woke-kulttuurin ansiosta. Bonham Carter kutsuukin nykymenoa "hysteeriseksi" ja "noitavainoksi". Hän latasi kantansa maailmalle The Timesissa.
"Do 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't ban people. I hate cancel culture. It has become quite hysterical and there's a kind of witch hunt and a lack of understanding...You don't all have to agree on everything - that would be insane and boring."
Bonham Carter otti myös kantaa Harry Potter -kirjailija J.K. Rowlingin kohtaamiin syytöksiin transfobiasta. Kaikilla on oikeus mielipiteeseensä.
"I think she has been hounded... It's been taken to the extreme, the judgmentalism of people. She's allowed her opinion, particularly if she's 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. She's not meaning it aggressively, she's just saying something out of her own experience."
Johnny Depp on Bonham Carterin mukaan pääsemässä takaisin jaloilleen, ja uran taas kulkemaan, jouduttuaan ex-vaimonsa Amber Heardin tempausten kohteeksi.
