Did Seth Meyers Just Call Johnny Depp 'Toxic'?
How do celebrities react when their peers face controversy? In a recent viral clip from Seth Meyers’ "Corrections," the famous comedian-host seems to indirectly tag Johnny Depp as "toxic" amidst his tumult with Amber Heard.
Johnny Depp, known not just for his stellar acting but also for controversies that have clung to his name, has often been the talk of the town. Many remember the times when the 'The Lone Ranger' star was consistently in the news both for his positive deeds and the negative stories surrounding him. One of the most notable moments was his legal tussle with The Sun regarding an opinion piece by his ex-wife Amber Heard. This was followed by another significant moment, a defamation suit trial with the ‘Aquaman 2’ actress in 2022.
In light of this backdrop, Seth Meyers, during his October 9 "Corrections" episode, made an intriguing comment. While discussing the renowned singer Stevie Nicks, he remarked, “I feel like Johnny Depp became the scarf guy, but she’s a far better, non-toxic scarf person.” It was a humorous reference to both Depp's and Nick's affinity for scarves, but the word "non-toxic" certainly caught the attention of many, leading to speculations about whether Meyers was subtly calling Depp "toxic."

Redditors had varied reactions to the clip. One user expressed that Johnny Depp's lawsuits might have done more harm to his reputation than good, while another believed that Depp's problematic behavior had been evident for years. Yet another felt the trial highlighted many of Depp's staunch defenders in less than flattering ways.
Seth Meyers' "Corrections" is distinct from his well-known show ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers.’ Described as a blend of James Joyce and Jackson Pollock's styles, it delves deep into the dynamic between content creators and their audiences.
