Johnny Depp Trial Reveals Sordid Culture of Celebrity Enablers (Variety)

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's defamation trial has exposed the darker and parasitic side of movie stardom.

In one message to Baruch, Depp lamented that “that c— ruined such a f—ing cool life we had for a while.” In its early days, the trial has felt like sifting through the wreckage of a royal court after its ruler has been deposed. For her part, Heard framed her 2018 op-ed as a lesson in power. But after Depp lost a similar case in London in 2020, his public reputation — and career — are in tatters. The goal was to explain Depp’s instinct to hide from conflict. Depp is suing his ex-wife, Amber Heard, for $50 million for describing herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse” in a 2018 Washington Post opinion piece.

He also said he took his mother’s “nerve pills” when he was a kid. In the article, Heard referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” “The characterization of my ‘substance abuse’ that’s been delivered by Ms. Heard is grossly embellished,” Depp said. Heard's lawyers, who have filed their own countersuit against Depp, said nothing in the article libels him. So far, Depp's friends, family and employees have testified that Heard was the aggressor in the relationship, physically attacking him on multiple occasions. She became upset, he said, when he broke an established routine in which she took off his boots for him when he came home. He said there were little things, though, that gave him indications of a rocky relationship ahead. After one long answer, he admitted: “I forgot what the original question was.” She was kind. She was smart. Indeed, he acknowledged his meandering style, particularly as it relates to his writing style.

Johnny Depp Testifies in Amber Heard Defamation Trial (Vulture)

Johnny Depp is suing ex wife Amber Heard over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post. On Wednesday, Depp finally took the stand.

The first day of Depp’s testimony concluded with him looking back at his relationship with Heard. He said the relationship began when they filmed a shower scene for The Rum Diary. “I think there was something with the kiss in the shower that was very real,” Depp said. Wyatt was asked to describe interactions between Depp and Heard. He recalled being on a flight with them to Boston in 2014 and said that Heard “was giving Johnny the cold shoulder, being quiet, and seemed pouty.” “The op-ed’s clear implication that Mr Depp is a domestic abuser is categorically and demonstrably false,” his civil claim maintains. Wyatt described Depp glowingly, saying he was “great to work with on films” and “always comes prepared,” making for a “fun” day. He recalled the alleged water-bottle incident and remarked: “In California, it’s assault if you attempt to swing or throw something at somebody, even if you don’t hit them.” “At one point, I went up to her and said something to the effect of ‘He cares about you,’ and all of a sudden she snapped and said, ‘How dare you talk to me? All of a sudden it got very loud.” When asked if he had ever seen any violent or physical altercation between Depp and Heard, he responded: “I’ve never seen Johnny be violent toward anybody.” Heard’s attorney tried to ask Wyatt about Marilyn Manson, who is also an alleged abuser and suing his ex Evan Rachel Wood for defamation over her allegations against him detailed in her documentary, Phoenix Rising. They had previously brought up Manson during opening statements, describing him as Depp’s “good friend.” Depp said that he became addicted to the opioid Roxycodone after suffering an injury while filming the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, and detoxed during his relationship with Heard. Get away from me!’” Wyatt said he “went back to my seat and minded my own business.” Heard, he said, “was abruptly loud. He was filling out job applications in “video stores, clothing stores, anything … just to be able to pay the rent.” Depp said that his friend, actor Nicolas Cage, told him, “I want you to meet my agent.” Cage told Depp he thought he could act. Depp said that he first abused drugs at 11, when he took one of his mother’s “nerve pills.” Depp claimed he didn’t take drugs for enjoyment. I was a musician, but the fact that these people were going to pay me what I found to be a ludicrous sum of money … I had never seen that kind of dough in my life.”

"I didn't deserve that nor did my children nor did the people who have believed in me for all those years." He also pointed out that the article in question never even mentions Depp's name.

“She slapped him because he was being incoherent and talking about being with another woman.” Wyatt testified that he accompanied Depp, his former wife Vanessa Paradis and children to their home in the Bahamas on several occasions. “I was bitten by the snake, and before you know it the monkey was on my back,” he said. You’re a whore.” Depp filed a $50m lawsuit against Heard in 2018. Heard has said Depp probably cut his finger when he smashed a telephone. “It would stir up some rather unusual reactions from her,” he said. Several witnesses have characterised Heard as the abusive party. The actor has accused Heard of throwing a bottle at him, severing the finger. From the beginning of our relationship, she was wonderful, and then things just started to change … or reveal themselves, I think is a better way to put it.” But he had periods of sobriety, he said.

Heard was granted a protective order in May 2016 after she alleged that Depp hit her in the face with a cellphone. Anderson said Depp told her that Heard “gave as good as she got.” He said he detoxed from the drug prior to his relationship with Heard. During cross-examination, Anderson clarified that her understanding was that Heard “fought back” after Depp became physical. Depp addressed Heard's allegations regarding substance abuse, saying he began taking his mother's "nerve pills" at the age of 11 and proceeded to self-medicate with substances over the years as a coping mechanism for trauma. Little time was spent on his relationship with Heard, who he felt was the perfect partner for him at the beginning of their relationship. "Because I've never appeared loaded or high or any of that ... no one would have ever known." "Then you started to notice other little tidbits and things that come out," Depp said. Anderson also testified that Heard, in a session conducted separately from her husband, said Depp hit her and that she showed her bruises. Although the article never mentions Depp by name, his attorneys said it indirectly refers to allegations she made against him during their 2016 divorce. The trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, is expected to take weeks. Depp told the court Tuesday that he was "obsessed with the truth" and, though he argued with his ex-wife, he never hit Heard.

Depp takes stand, says Heard's abuse allegations are untrue ... (The Washington Post)

In defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, actor Depp says allegations have damaged his career and reputation.

(Depp lost a libel case in the United Kingdom in 2020 against the Sun when a headline called him a “wife beater,” though that has largely not come up during the U.S. trial.) “I am ashamed of some of the references I made. They kissed in a scene and felt a spark; later, he said, they kissed again in his trailer. “I can’t say that I’m embarrassed because I know that I’m doing the right thing.” He suddenly became much more recognizable; fans started trying to trespass onto his property and he had to hire tighter security. Depp said he first tried “nerve pills” at age 11 when he saw they calmed down his mother, and tried every drug imaginable by age 15. Speaking slowly and delivering lengthy answers at times, Depp delved into his childhood and talked about his mother being physically violent and verbally abusive. A murmur rippled through the crowd when his attorney called “John C. Depp” to the stand. In his testimony, Depp said he tried to be a private person and feels very exposed with these intimate details being spilled in public. The actor is suing Heard for $50 million for defamation over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post calling herself a survivor of domestic abuse, which Depp says caused further damage and irreparably destroyed his reputation and career. “It’s never been for the party effect. Depp’s testimony comes after four days of the plaintiff’s witnesses who have delved into some of the most personal aspects of his and Heard’s lives and marriage.

During their opening arguments last week, Ms. Heard’s lawyers told the jury that they would be presenting evidence of “graphic and horrifying” abuse against Ms. Heard, including instances of sexual assault, which Mr. Depp denies. On Tuesday, Mr. Depp provided an account not unlike the one he gave in London two years ago in an earlier defamation case he brought against The Sun newspaper for calling him a “wife beater” in a headline. In court papers, Mr. Depp has alleged that Ms. Heard physically abused him throughout their relationship, including by throwing objects at him. Mr. Depp’s lawsuit claimed that Ms. Heard’s op-ed “devastated” his once flourishing acting career. She has said Mr. Depp hurt his finger while smashing a phone against a wall repeatedly.

In it, she said her career had been harmed after she became a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” We also use them to measure ad campaign effectiveness, target ads and analyze site traffic. “And I didn’t deserve that.” One of her lawyers, Ben Rottenborn, questioned whether Mr. Depp’s accounts of events were credible if he was “blacked out” on drugs and alcohol, and he argued that Mr. Depp was responsible for the decline of his career, not Ms. Heard. In that trial, a judge found that there was “overwhelming evidence” that he had assaulted Ms. Heard repeatedly during their marriage and that he had put her “in fear of her life.” Mr. Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for an op-ed she wrote saying she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Ms. Heard maintains that he abused her repeatedly.

"I didn't deserve that nor did my children nor did the people who have believed in me for all those years." I think that it was an easy target for her to hit." "Ms. Heard was unable to be wrong," Depp said at the beginning of his testimony. "The characterization of my 'substance abuse' that’s been delivered by Ms. Heard is grossly embellished," he added. "I stayed, I suppose because my father stayed," he added. Depp revealed his mother had attempted suicide a few times, something that Heard had allegedly threatened. In arguments, Depp said he would remove himself from their arguments by leaving the room or locking himself in the bathroom, for instance, to avoid being confrontational. In the column, she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. But, all in all, it was just constant." There were small indicators early on that suggested rocky times ahead, he said. I can only say that I stayed through all that, I'm sure it's somehow related to my father remaining stoic as my mother would beat him to death. "Ms. Heard in her frustration and rage would strike out.

Johnny Depp dice que Amber Heard lo degradaba y reprendía (Santa Maria Times)

FAIRFAX, Virginia, EE.UU. (AP) — Johnny Depp volvió a la corte el miércoles para rendir declaraciones en su demanda por difamación contra su exesposa, ...

Los abogados de Heard dicen que el artículo es veraz y no lo difama. Agregó: “La señora Heard no era capaz de estar equivocada. En el estrado el martes, Depp calificó las acusaciones de adicción a las drogas como “extremadamente adornadas”, aunque reconoció haber que ha probado todas las drogas conocidas por el hombre y que comenzó a abusar de medicamentos a los 11 años, cuando tomaba a escondidas “píldoras para los nervios” de su madre. Depp dijo que las acusaciones y el artículo contribuyeron a arruinar injustamente su reputación, lo convirtieron en un paria de Hollywood y le costaron su papel en la lucrativa franquicia cinematográfica “Pirates of the Caribbean” (“Piratas del Caribe”). Nunca mencionó a Depp por su nombre, pero el actor y sus abogados dijeron que era una clara referencia a las acusaciones que Heard hizo en 2016 cuando la pareja se divorció y ella solicitó una orden de alejamiento en su contra. El miércoles, Depp dijo que las cosas comenzaron a cambiar en su matrimonio cuando sintió que “de repente estaba equivocado en todo” a los ojos de Heard.

This week, the Pirates Of The Caribbean star took the stand for the first time.

She says her former husband concocted a “smear campaign” against her and seeks $100 million in compensatory damages. Depp also denied hitting Heard during an argument about his “Winona Forever” tattoo (that was later changed to read “Wino Forever”). “It didn’t happen,” he said. During the second day of his testimony, Depp opened about the volatile arguments between himself and Heard. “I was sort of not allowed to be right, not allowed to have a voice,” Depp said, per Vulture. “So at a certain point, what enters your mind is, you start to slowly realize that you are in a relationship with your mother, and I know that that sounds perverse, obtuse but the fact is some people [search] for weaknesses in people…” The fights and arguments would quickly become violent, he explained. However, the judge did not rule in Depp’s favor as the claims against him were proven “substantially true.” Depp denied hitting Heard or any other woman, and he said Heard’s allegations in the Washington Post op-ed led to the sudden downturn of his once-famed career. “Like many women, I had been harassed and sexually assaulted by the time I was of college age.

Depp dijo que Heard fue "maravillosa" durante algún tiempo entre un año y un año y medio. Sigo pagando ese precio, pero espero que cuando este caso concluya, pueda seguir adelante y también Johnny".

Heard keeps Pistol and Boo, and Depp retains possession of his island in the Bahamas as well as his collection of motorcycles and cars. Although she doesn’t mention Depp by name, the op-ed is the center of his 2019 defamation suit for $50 million, in which Depp’s representatives allege that Heard was a perpetrator of abuse, not a victim. Depp and Heard marry in a private ceremony at their L.A. residence. After 14 years together, Depp and Paradis decide to end things, which Depp then discusses in a 2013 Rolling Stone piece, in which he states that “relationships are very difficult.” Joining them will be a bevy of high-profile witnesses including Elon Musk and James Franco. Below, we break down the circumstances that led to their current dispute, starting from the day they met as co-stars in 2009.
