Court docs from the Johnny Depp defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard have been unsealed, and the pair accuse each other of much more than was even revealed at the trial, including that Heard stripped and escorted while the actress claims Depp advised Marilyn Manson on how to deal with an “Amber type scenario” of his own.
Per TMZ, some of the noteworthy claims from the unsealed court docs are that Johnny Depp alleged that Amber Heard worked as a stripper and escort early in her career. Depp’s lawyers wanted to present this at trial, but Judge Azcarate shot it down.
Another claim mentions a reality show that Amber’s sister Whitney shot back in the day. Depp’s lawyers believed that the show contained harmful information about Amber, mostly about her past, that could’ve benefitted their case. This was also not taken into consideration by the judge.
Amber Heard also threw some allegations Johnny Depp’s way that didn’t make it to trial. Her legal team wanted to introduce text messages between Depp and Marilyn Manson that showed him giving his friend pointers about how to deal with an “Amber type scenario.” Manson has been accused of sexual misconduct, most notably by actress Evan Rachel Wood, who also accused the rocker of essentially grooming her beginning at a very early age. The docs also reveal that Manson sought refuge with Johnny Depp in 2016 amid relationship problems that were beginning to fall into more legal territory. One text from Marilyn Manson to Johnny Depp reportedly read, “I got a serious police amber type scenarios with L’s family. I’m f**king stressing. I don’t know if you are back, but I need asylum somewhere because I think the cops might be headed my way.” “L’s family” refers to Lindsay, whom Manson said had pulled something similar to Amber Heard and even someone he called “Amber 2.0.” Johnny Depp reportedly responded to the text with acknowledgment and his support.
Amber Heard also wanted it to be known that Johnny Depp’s problems on the fifth Pirates film were much worse than previously thought. The docs alleged that Disney was supposedly very upset about his behavior throughout the entire production. She also wanted to mention other cases Depp was involved in, including his assault lawsuit that was recently settled, but this was shot down by the judge as well.
We have even more proof of how toxic these two were to each other. I would say this is all in their rearview mirror now, but this seems like a soap opera that’s destined never to end.
