The libel battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp ended in June with a verdict, but it was far from the end of the story. The the verdict, in favor of Depp, was challenged and now we’re getting more information on things we didn’t hear at trial, including allegations about Depp’s misbehavior on the set of the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
The preliminary documents were opened, revealing several elements that the judge decided not to admit as evidence at the trial. One of them went to the heart of Depp’s libel suit. According to the documents (via dressing table ), there have been a few incidents, one on TV and one during the manufacture of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales , where Depp appeared “drunk and high”. According to Heard’s legal team …
Mr. Depp appeared on television drunk and high, to the point that the Disney studio executives called [his former agent Tracey] Jacobs asking “What was wrong with your client?” These same problems emerged during the filming of Pirates 5 and Disney told Ms. Jacobs that the conduct “would not be tolerated”, that Disney “would not tolerate this” and that “there was no love between Johnny and the Disney. “. . . given the pirates [F]I have a situation.
Johnny Depp’s libel suit against Amber Heard was based on claim tor the Washington Post editorial he wrote where he claimed to be a survivor of domestic violence, it cost the actor millions because he lost his role in the film Pirates of the Caribbean frankness for this. A Disney executive testified during the trial that the editorial wasn’t why the franchise continued without Depp, but this information, if true, provides another possible reason Disney would make this decision.
Why did Johnny Depp’s role in the Pirates of the Caribbean the franchise was pivotal to his trial, the films were mentioned multiple times throughout the trial. While a Disney executive may have claimed the editorial did not affect his decision to abandon Captain Jack Sparrow, it has been stated elsewhere in the lawsuit that Depp had a verbal agreement to return for a sixth film at a certain point.
There was also a lot of miles from a statement that Depp stated at one point that he wanted “a million alpacas” as part of his compensation for future films. Whether or not anyone enjoyed providing the actor with alpacas was a question that surfaced in court and, of course, attracted a lot of attention.
Whether or not this information may have changed the jury’s opinion, we will never really know. Both sides are now challenging the verdict. so this case isn’t over yet.
