The allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault, damage to reputation and an incredible number of other juicy details are currently being chewed through in the trial between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in the courtroom in Fairfax County, Virginia. “Team Johnny” or “Team Amber”? Not only the fans on social media comment on this, but also colleagues and ex-lovers of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star.
While NSYNC star Lance Bass ranted about the trial by re-enacting a violent scene — and rightfully received a shitstorm for it — actress Ellen Barkin was even called to the witness stand. In 1998, while filming the cult film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” a liaison, her reports about her ex are not very positive: “He was always drinking and smoking joints!,” says Barkin. He is also said to have been very jealous and controlling.
So Depp peppered her with questions like “Where are you going? Who are you going to meet? What are you doing?” In anger, he is said to have even thrown a wine bottle through a hotel room. In a video statement, Johnny Depp’s ex-agent Tracey Jacobs – who represented him for over 30 years – recounts his lack of professionalism while on set while under the influence of drugs and alcohol: “The crew doesn’t like sitting around for hours until the star finally arrives.” But there are also numerous colleagues who are clearly “Team Johnny” – “nypost.com” has compiled the pro-Johnny comments.
That’s how Pirates of the Caribbean co-star Eva Green would “defend Johnny Depp anytime.” She said last week, “I have no doubt Johnny comes out of this with his good name and beautiful heart — and life Will be better for him and his family than ever before.” Ex Winona Ryder also has the actor’s back and testified at the UK trial in 2020: “I speak from my own experience as I wasn’t there during his marriage to Amber was. But after my experience, which was so completely different, I was absolutely shocked, confused and upset when I heard the allegations against him.”
Actress Angelina Jolie, who co-starred with Johnny Depp in The Tourist (2010), said at the time: “He’s a really experimental, deeply feeling artist who’s very giving and very kind on set to everyone and his fellow actors .” Anne Hathaway, who plays with Johnny in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” films, also doesn’t want to know anything about megalomania: “I admire that so much – not only did it [success] not go to his head, it didn’t change him one iota either – and I think that’s remarkable.”
And then there’s longtime Pirates of the Caribbean stars Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. Singer Katy Perry’s fiancé is quoted on nypost.com as enjoying the fun and professionalism of filming with Johnny Depp: “I got to work with one of my heroes, Johnny Depp, and see how he is at his job – which was really inspiring for me at this stage of my career.” And Keira Knightley also only has positive things to say about Johnny Depp: “He’s just great. It’s really weird because even though he’s a big Hollywood star, he’s such a nice guy at the same time.”
In the court battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, his private doctor becomes an issue. dr David Kipper, as he is called, is said to have been paid more than princely for his services. A former close friend of Depp’s calls him a “swindler”.
In 2015, Chiara “Kiki” Hölzl took 8th place on GNTM. Years later, she now reports on a serious injury in a shoot.
Boris Becker and his life in prison are one of the big topics of the past few weeks. His German media lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser clears up numerous rumors in an interview and reveals how the tennis legend in Wandsworth is really doing.
