What kills ME is that Johnny Depp's career would have been just fine no matter what she said about him in any forum if he'd just managed to show up for work sober and remember his lines so studios could keep making money off of him. There were absolutely no career consequences for him because of what he did to Amber and there never will be, anyway that his prospects and income has suffered has been because of his own self-destructive vices and fucking laziness. Sean Penn kidnapped, raped, and beat the most famous woman on the planet and went on to win two Oscars and is seen as a paragon of humanitarianism because he kept showing up for work and making people money. That's literally all it takes and Johnny couldn't even do that.
Didn’t cost him work? Are you fucking kidding me? He was kicked out of Fantastic Beasts because that’s when the shit really got wild and there was even a petition for his removal and Pirates 5 still made enough money to warrant a sequel if they wished because people watch Pirates mostly for Jack after the third movie.
Her lies absolutely cost him work. Big roles. He was branded an abusive and monstrous pariah because of the actual monster’s lies.
You believe her; you’re a fool and that is the nicest way I can say it.
A Disney exec testified they’d never even heard of her editorial and he only let go from Pirates because he wasn’t a box office draw anymore and his work habits were sloppy and disruptive. Oh and because a court in the UK found he was abusive toward Amber in 12 separate instances and that it wasn’t defamatory for papers there to call him a wife beater.
Which by the way, is also my legal right to call him 😘
