don't feel comfortable speculating, his wife could have faked that video

there's never been a case of him hitting any of his former wives/girlfriends before which makes me suspicious

Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Monday, 30 May 2016 21:25 (seven years ago) link

you're defending someone with (at least?) two charges of assault, along with a history of smashing up hotel rooms and other erratic behaviour. secondly, I'm really questioning how Heard could possibly benefit from any way in this. It's not a small thing to go against someone with 1000x the connections who's in with Disney and the rest, and a year of marriage isn't going to garner you much in the way of $$$. Plus Penn, Allen & the rest have shown that unsavoury behaviour isn't exactly a barrier to a career.

but no, lying woman faking video to no personal benefit is clearly the more logical deduction.

I hope this is ironic, because I remember him getting caught on video raising his hand to strike his then-GR (Kate Moss?).

don't know about that but I feel the need to clarify that I do not really believe that amber heard faked the johnny depp "australian apology" video

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 30 May 2016 22:16 (seven years ago) link

I like how if somebody says they're suspicious, or unsure, they are automatically on Team Depp.
or basically, what VG said right at the beginning of this revive before somebody else saw a chance to get righteous

Never knew Depp had previous issues tbh apart from busting up a hotel room

New alice movie completely bombed this weekend also; bad week to be Johnny Depp.

from the outside, it looks like he is a really serious alcoholic. that might explain the discrepancy between his ex's memory of him and his recent behavior. i've seen alcoholism turn gentle people into monsters.

Welp, fuck this guy.

Although I like the emerging angle that this could be a milestone for tabloids' treatment of the alleged victims in incidents like these.

Depp’s own lawyer, who has accused her of “attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.”

Encapsulates why lawyers have reputations as scum sucking dregs of humanity. Using character defamation as a defense is lower than a snake's belly.

depp's idiosyncratic email style vaguely recalls an ilx0r with a similar lowercase/CAPS/??? steez but i can't quite put my finger on exactly who

Johnny Depp on Donald Trump: Crime or free speech?

He's starting to look an awful lot like Bob Dylan btw

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 23 June 2017 13:50 (six years ago) link

is there anyone else on earth who wants to dress like this? he always has so much stuff hanging off of him. its so not cool but its 100% him so i guess there are points for consistency.

it's just odd because when he tones it down he's...johnny depp! an impossibly beautiful male model wearing million dollar clothes. but hey he's just being true to his spirit weirdo.

hrmmm he comes across as a fairly sad and lonely kinda credulous moron, how do you blow 650 million dollars? idk i hope he comes out okay although it seems like he doesn't treat himself very well

global tetrahedron, Friday, 22 June 2018 03:26 (five years ago) link

yeah i hope he comes out of this terrible trauma of earning 650 million dollars ok. fuck him, how many lives could that money have transformed?

how do you blow 650 mil? ...blow.

Asked what he thought about all the legal shenanigans, Depp shrugs. "I'm just a small part of this," he says. "It's the fucking Matrix. I didn't see the movie, and I didn't understand the script, but here's what it is."

devvvine, Friday, 22 June 2018 10:25 (five years ago) link

yeah that part jumped out at me too

I think that there's this idea we all have that if we got super rich we wouldn't just magnify the small scale fuckups and poor financial decisions on a massive scale but we all probably would

Seems odd to give the exact address of Depp's London pad in the first para.

depp has never watched his movies, that's his operative

I think this has been demonstrated again and again! The only people possibly immune are those sooooo rich that they wouldn't miss the millions of dollars no doubt being stolen from them all the time. For the rest, if you have, I dunno, $300 million, how in the world do you trust anyone, let alone to manage your money? I think they all make the mistake of hiring family - just think back to Billy Joel who was ripped off for like $90 in 1980s dollars - and then it gets even uglier. Plus when you have to hire people to buy things for you and pay bills - because when you're Johnny Depp or whomever you can't just go to Target - no one is going to tell you no or that you can't buy what you want with your money. Ask Nic Cage.

Really the key is to just to get a good, boring, professional, vetted accountant, which is maybe where the merits of this nebulous legal case lie: if you have hundreds of millions of dollars there *is* no reason you should lose it all short of being outright criminally scammed like Kevin Bacon. It's the job of an accountant to make sure you don't lose hundreds of millions of dollars, and it should be an easy job, therefore, if the accountant allows you to go broke then they must be doing something wrong.

Demonstrably false, given that Depp’s inept profligacy with his fortune has resulted in a lengthy profile piece despite the fact he hasn’t had a film worth watching in years. He is exceptional.

Most people who find themselves diving into a Scrooge McDuck money pool after a run of luck end up hiring at least semi-competent help and avoiding too many consecutive bad bets. Depp seems to be unable to recognize his own role in any of his decisions.
