That being said....Amber appears to be an Instigator, Provoker, Manipulater, Melodramatic Drama Queen, using others as pawns in Her Great Play. Johnny could have just let it go, but cares about being painted as a garbage person. I don't blame him.

However, Johnny should get help for his substance and mental health issues.

Also, I regard Wasington Post as a rag paper, much like the NYT, shells of former great news oulets. Puke.

+1 well said. Also, I would hate for the world to think I acted like Amber. Not kind, gentle or classy at all.

Both of these people are, to varying degrees, violent narcissistic drug addicts, and you think the worst thing in this toxic train wreck is Amber being seen as "kind, gentle or classy"?
Granted, she is none of those things, but wtf is this "sugar and spice" comment.

PP here. I'm showing my age, I guess; but that's what I was raised to be-- plus work hard in your profession of choice.

I was raised to be kind, classy and competent. Gentle? I mean I'm gentle with kids and animals but it's hardly a priority.
Just seems like such a sexist comment.

Amber Heard has about a hundred things wrong with her that are worse than not being "gentle".

If Depp was so concerned about what his children thought or their reputations, then why is he airing such disgusting information about how he lives for the entire world to see? The videos, the text messages, the photos, his testimony about the drug use, the awful language, the threats, the destruction of property, the alcohol. It blows my mind that somehow all this, on the record, isn't hurting his children or their reputation but the WaPo Op-Ed does.

I hope he has some proof that some company didn't hire him because of the article. Otherwise why not just have his exes speak out in support of him and make a statement on his own? It's not like she went after him so directly and criminally that he couldn't make an indirect address of his actions himself.

When cross examination began (not yesterday but the day before they managed to squeeze in about 20 minutes before calling it a day) his lawyers brought up an article published in October 2018 (two months before the op-ed was published) stating that Disney was looking to dump Depp. They haven’t come back to it yet but I’m certain they will.

Yikes, sorry! HER lawyers did with their twenty minutes! SOrry for the typo!

Wait, HIS lawyers brought that up? If true that's bonkers. Completely undermines his damages claim.

HER lawyers brought that up. Sorry for the typo!

Quoting on these boards is annoying. My posts frequently end up in the body of the quotes because I haven’t scrolled down.

Sorry, yeah, that was why I thought you were saying it helped his case, if it was his lawyers bringing it up. Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.

Johnny depp has been a has been for years. Other than Pirates, whats the last hit movie he had. he is bloated and drug addled. I think they both abused each other and addicts always find each other and love the domapnine hit that fighting and chaos brings.

PP here. I agree with what you said about gentle. That was a poor choice of words because I do think women should be strong, and admire that quality; but she seems "hard" and tough as in not feminine." If that's sexist, then it's still what I think.🙂

that should have been excluded on hearsay. was it? i think it was from the daily mail? anyway, i wonder if either side has subpoenaed anyone to talk about the reason for the lost role(s).

You think it helps his case to show that Disney wanted to fire him BEFORE the Heard article came out? Seems like they would have dumped him whether the article came out or not.

her lawyers brought it up. not his.

It depends on why the article was introduced. If for the truth of the matter asserted, hearsay. If to argue that rumors about him getting fired existed before the article, not hearsay.

He played Grindewald in two of the Fantastic Beasts movies which were pretty big blockbusters.
He also played in the remake of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" with a pretty starstudded cast. And it was pretty successful.

Other than that, he has worked regularly (4 films in 2016, 3 in 2017, 5 in 2018, 1 in 2019 and 1 in 2020), even if most of the films were not A-list films.

K, crazy…no one is saying his behavior was okay. He’s clearly a very troubled person. But, she walked in on him behaving like this, turned on her camera…and started asking leading questions to piss him off more. Any emotionally healthy adult would have got the hell out of there.

She asked him what happened, omg!? Clearly he ought to break something else, it was such an abusive question!

Did we ever find out what actually had happened btw? I missed it. I don't know why he was behaving that way. He also seemed to be blaming it on her.

I totally understand the desire to record when something crazy is happening to you. I get it.

Thank you. The rabid defense of Depp by some of his totally stable female fans here is something, isn’t it?

I don’t see how you can see her as any less crazy and culpable as he is. I am not so much defending him as pointing out that she is also a pretty messed up person. SHE PURPOSELY DEFECATED ON HIS SIDE OF THE BED and moved the sheets so he would lie in it. This is crazy, abusive behavior. Plus, did you not hear the tape where she tells him no one will believe him if he tells?

They are both horrible. Stop trying to pretend she is normal herself.

Yeah, but it's a defamation case, not a "who do we hate most" reality show, and he's the one that brought it... apparently over an op-ed that's weak tea at most. They are both seriously disturbed - but that exactly why this trial is a huge waste of everyone's time.

Exactly. I think they're both trash, but Depp's the one abusing thr legal systemntontry to get back at his ex years and years after the divorce in an incredibly weak case. So in this situation I'm anti-Depp here.

He has always lived the pirate lifestyle and has never lost a job until Amber accused him of physical abuse. This is what I’d at stake. His reputation and his work. It might be a waste of time for you but not for him
Or for his kids reputations.

This.

She’s the one who seemingly inserted cray-cray nonsense into the equation…and it seems like it was done strategically for a payout.

Remember: he’s dated a lot and his ex vouched for him. He was not the violent person Amber claims he is.

Sometimes crazy women provoke responses…particularly when on a mission. The fact that she taped everything is very telling.

This is such a red piller justification for abuse - she provoked him, she was looking for it. I guess his ex also deserved the abuse too.

"Actor Johnny Depp called his former partner and mother of his children Vanessa Paradis a 'French extortionist c***' in an email to British singer Elton John, Amber Heard's legal team revealed in court on Thursday."

Calling your soon to be ex a crass word in an email while in the midst of divorce proceedings doesn’t mean he’s abusive.

Talk to a divorce lawyer sometime. Lol.

His ex vouched for him and said he wasn’t abusive.

Amber is Angelina Jolie crazy. She’s a young addict who has obvious fetishes and thrives on drama. Girls like that are emotional and violent.

He seems really charming to me. She seems like a scheming black widow succubus. Even her own sister and mom don't speak with her? I mean, come on.

Yeah, I totally didn’t realize I wrote his instead of hers and I was genuinely confused. Sorry about that! I wish I could edit posts to fix typos (I have plenty) but I can’t.

That's the thing, even if he clears the defamation hurdle, proving damages seems pretty impossible. Pirates got canned because the 5th movie flopped and was panned by critics. Depp was fired from Grindewald after his litigation with the Sun and not this article.
