On December 15-16, Russian media outlets (Tsargrad, Gazeta.ru, Daily Afisha, Muz TV, Life.ru), the Threads accounts,  as well as the Russian-language section of Armenia’s Radar Armenia and Azerbaijan’s Oxu.az reported that American actor Johnny Depp plans to open a jewelry store in Russia:

“Actor Johnny Depp has decided to start his business in Russia. The Hollywood star will launch an elite boutique of jewelry featuring Yakutian diamonds in Moscow. However, his girlfriend, 26-year-old model Yulia Vlasova from Yekaterinburg, has taken charge of managing the business,” the claim states.

The widespread information about Johnny Depp planning to open the jewelry store in Russia lacks evidence. The claim has not been reported by any credible international media outlets or on the actor’s social media accounts.

Ukrainian fact-checking organization StopFake has already debunked the story. Information that Johnny Depp decided to open a store in Russia does not appear on Johnny Depp’s official social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram) or in credible international media outlets.

Furthermore, Depp’s alleged girlfriend, Russian model Yulia Vlasova, denied the claim in an interview with Russian media. In response to a query from the website super.ru, Yulia Vlasova stated that she is working on a project of this kind, but Depp is not involved.

“Johnny is not planning to launch a jewelry brand. He has nothing to do with this,” – Vlasova commented.

Notably, since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Johnny Depp has expressed support for Ukraine and helped refugees.
