However, amidst the outpouring of support, a differing voice emerged, criticizing the 58-year-old actress for being a senior citizen still reminiscing about a relationship that ended over four decades ago. 

The comment read, “you’re a senior citizen still reminiscing about a relationship you had over 40 years ago please get a grip and some self respect.” 

As news of Fenn’s declaration spread beyond Twitter, it inevitably reached the vast online community of Reddit. 

There, opinions varied, with one user expressing embarrassment, stating, “If I’m calling some man who is still alive the love of my life 40 years after our relationship ended, just end me at that point. Embarrassing.” 

Another fan jumped into the discussion and remarked, “Imagine spending 40 years trying to get picked.”

Additionally, Fenn’s support for Johnny Depp during his highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard made headlines on May 29, 2022. 

Taking to her Instagram account, Fenn shared a vintage headshot of Depp, real name John Christopher Depp II, from his younger days.

Alongside the picture, she wrote, “Praying for John Christopher.” However, the post has since been removed.

However, Depp does not seem to share the same sentiment toward Fenn as she does towards him. 

He commented on their relationship, referring to Fenn as a “playboy bunny” and claiming she cheated on him.
