What about the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard case today? Tuesday July 7, 2020, Johnny Depp was expected for the first day of hearing at the London High Court for his trial against Amber Heard, his ex-wife, who accused him of domestic violence, and against the British tabloid The sun, who called him a violent man. The actor denies all violence and accuses the actress of physical and psychological violence. Known for his excesses (he had notably ransacked a hotel room in New York, creating 10,000 dollars of damage), Johnny Depp underwent a muscular interrogation on behalf of the lawyer of NGN, Sasha Wass, and alcohol. “In my youth … my experiences with narcotics and stimulants started at a young age”, confessed Johnny Depp, explaining that he had tried many drugs from the age of 14. As reported Page Six, he explained in particular to have proposed to the girl he had with the French artist Vanessa Paradis, Lily Rose Depp.
After an evening, Lily Rose Depp confides in her father, explaining that a young man showed her a joint by offering to try it. Johnny Depp says: “She was only 12 years old and said she didn't know what to do. I said, 'Look, sweetheart, if you're at a party and someone hands you the joint, take the joint from the person and pass it to the next person. Please don't try drugs with people you don't know. '” He then offers to try it with him. “I said to her, "Please, when you really want to try, do me the honor to come and talk to me when you're ready (…) I wanted her to trust me. I wanted to make sure the settings were perfect, put the family TV on, fill the fridge with ice cream, create a situation where the experience would be as pleasant as possible. ” He will finally provide her with marijuana at the age of 13, after having discussed it with Vanessa Paradis. “I knew that the marijuana I had myself, that I smoked myself, was trustworthy and of good quality ”, he concludes.
Since 2016, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have accused each other of violence
The Johnny Depp / Amber Heard case began in 2016. After filing for divorce after a few months of marriage, Amber Heard testified before a judge against her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, whom she accused of domestic violence. There followed a real witch hunt. Between the actor’s fans of Pirates of the Caribbean – who accused him, among other things, of wanting his money – and sexism of the media, the battle of Amber Heard was not easy. The model had yet arrived in court with bruises on his face, photos showing bruises, videos supposed to attest to the violence of the actor, tipsy, during an argument and the overwhelming messages of the former assistant of the actor , who recognized the violence of his ex-boss.
The case ended up being settled amicably in order to avoid a long trial. The deal with Johnny Depp ended with a withdrawal of Amber Heard's request for removal and complaints about him. The deal would have earned Amber Heard $ 7 million (or $ 6.1 million). A sum that the model had promised to donate in full to associations. Almost a year later, new documents confirming Amber Heard's version of events had been released. They revealed that one of Johnny Depp's wealth managers had been warned several times that he could be violent towards his partner.
In 2018, Johnny Depp counterattacks and accuses his ex-wife, while continuing to deny the charges against him. In an interview with the American magazine GQ, he lets go: "Hurting someone you love? To be a kind of executioner? No, it's not me." That same year, the actor's lawyers add to E! News, through Adam Waldman whom his team intends to present to the court “Clear evidence of the violence regularly committed by Miss Heard against him and the serious injuries which resulted from it.” And to continue: "We will also submit overwhelming evidence that Miss Heard has falsified the charges of abuse against Mr. Depp (…) An eyewitness, photographic evidence and sworn testimony will soon be brought to court."
