When you accuse an innocent party, such as when Amber Hear accused Johnny Depp in an effort to cancel them, when in fact they are (just like
Johnny) the innocent party. This can be used to scapegoat someone, shift blame, or just cause chaos. This is referred to as to “Johnny Depp” someone. As an extra form of
gaslighting, you can pretend this means the opposite, hire a PR company to help portray the opposite, and remove or hide items off of the
internet.
Question: “You’re going to blame an innocent student for
Luke’s hysteria?”
Answer: “I’m gonna Johnny Depp someone so
hard they’re gonna want to crawl into a hole and die.”
Or
“I did not punch you, I was hitting you”, as you watch the innocent party then escape to bathroom, pursue, and smash a door in their
face.
