The actor who was loved by many and many aspired to be like him Johnny Depp is undergoing an ugly phase of his life. Having giving many hits in the early phase of his life, Depp rose to fame after the worldwide hit ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. His popularity surged and many kids wanted to be like him. The successful actor was accused of domestic abuse and the UK court ruled against him.
After Depp and Paradis got separated in 2012, he began dating Amber Heard whom he met during the filming of ‘The Rum Diary‘. After getting married in 2015, Heard filed a complaint against him regarding physical abuse. She filed for a divorce and even got a restraining order against him. A settlement of $7 million was made and Heard donated it to a charity. They gave out a statement together saying that times were tough and this was not an act of any financial gain.
What case did Johnny Depp exactly file against Amber Heard?
In 2018 Depp sued Heard for defamation where she wrote articles for the opinion section of The Washington Post. It was about the physical abuse she had to go through and how it had affected her mentally. During the previous hearing, every such allegation against Depp was cleared which is why he went on to sue her. Depp then realized the documents which proved Heard also used to abuse him which she denied. He then went on to release some audio hearings where he is seen verifying the claims he made.
After numerous trials, on 2nd November, the UK court ruled against Depp. The court said that the allegations mentioned in the tabloid were true. Judge Andrew Nicole said that there was a huge mess of statements during the trials. Depp’s lawyer also claimed that the hearings were unfair as Heard was not present during the hearings. Heard’s legal team is still working to gather pieces of evidence to prove that whatever Heard said was true and she has her freedom of speech.
Depp has been involved in many controversies before as well. He has been an alcohol addict and doing drugs for most of his life. This led to paranoia and violence after a large consumption of drugs or alcohol. He has also been arrested many times for his violent behavior against people. In 2012, Robin Eckert, a disabled medical professor was dragged by his bodyguards and later the case was settled for an undisclosed amount. Johnny Depp has always given his best in acting and has been a good actor. However, it seems like he does not qualify as a good human.
