Did Amber Heard end it with Johnny Depp because she didn’t like the drama?

Until Katie Holmes publicly escaped The Wrath of Xenu a few weeks ago, all of us were focused on Johnny Depp’s split from Vanessa Paradis, and how he was likely boning Amber Heard, his publicist, and whoever else he ran into (with his d-ck). Multiple sources and multiple outlets claimed that Amber Heard had basically broken up with her girlfriend, Tasya van Ree, for Johnny, and that JD and Amber were definitely ON. Then Amber started doing photo-ops with Tasya and all of the trolls started coming out on every post, asking “OMG, why are you saying that Amber and Johnny were boning? I thought she was a lesbian?” Well, I still don’t know what exactly happened, but I’m pretty sure of two things: one, Johnny and Amber were sexually involved, and possibly romantically involved, and they were spending a lot of time together over the past six months especially. Two, I know Amber likes the attention. She likes the association. But now that everyone is calling her “the other woman,” it seems like Amber wants to play this another way. Or maybe Johnny wasn’t that serious about her in the first place:

Johnny Depp and his The Rum Diary co-star Amber Heard were an item, although the genetically blessed duo is now in the chill-out phase! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the 49-year-old actor, who recently announced, that he had split from his partner of 14-years, Vanessa Paradis, “was definitely hooking up” with his smoking hot 26-year-old co-star for several months, but that after news of the romance went public the duo decided to take some space.

“Johnny and Amber were definitely involved,” a source confirms to RadarOnline.com about the couple, who first met on the set of the movie adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s book, when Depp was still with Paradis and Heard had just gone public with her relationship with photographer Tasya van Ree. “They definitely had chemistry carried over from the set. Amber quietly split from Tasya around the same time Johnny was secretly separated from Vanessa, so the timing was just right.”

“They were hooking up for months — way before he publicly announced that he and Vanessa had split up. They did a really good job of keeping their relationship on the down low for a while, especially since many people assumed that Amber was only into girls.”

However, after Johnny finally announced that he and Paradis had split, the heat hit Heard and she totally freaked out.

“Amber has never wanted that sort of attention. She prides herself on being free-thinking and independent — not some homewrecker trying to sleep her way to the top. As soon as the media started publicizing the romance, she told Johnny that she needed some space. The crazy thing was that Johnny actually split from Vanessa at the end of last year, so she didn’t break them up, but because they didn’t announce their relationship was over until June, people were painting her as some kind of scarlet lady, which she is far from being.”

Though Depp and Heard are still in communication, the source maintains that Amber has been spending all of her time with her friends, as well as her ex-girlfriend, in hopes of dodging the drama altogether.

“She really likes Johnny, but she doesn’t like the drama,” the source continues. “She isn’t really sure what is going to happen with them, but just wants the attention to cool down before anything progresses.

[From Radar]

Doesn’t like the drama? Look at that face – that’s a girl who loves drama. She just doesn’t want to be seen as loving the drama, because she’s savvy enough to know that it could boomerang. And… still, there’s always a solid possibility that Johnny simply wasn’t all that involved with her in the first place. I believe Johnny and Amber had a thing, and maybe this whole “they were together when they were both technically single” thing is true. But I still believe Johnny has been fooling around all over the place, because he’s a drunk going through a mid-life crisis.

Also – Lainey had photos of Johnny doing a “good dad” photo-op with his kids yesterday. Go here to see the photos.

    How sweet would that be? He breaks up with Vanessa to be with Amber, then she breaks up with him. Karma.

  2. Susan says:

    Well gee, how was she supposed to know that dating Johnny Depp would be dramatic and public? Smh

  3. sarai says:

    There’s something very factory-manufactured about her look – the hair, the nose, the boobs, the chin, and tan.

    I think something happened, but she and johnny weren’t planning to leave their respective SOs over it, and Amber probably never did.

  4. normades says:

    Oh Kaiser you dissapoint me here. Why are people who don’t believe Depp/Heard were ever together and that AH is really a lesbien to be considered trolls? No one here knows what really went down and everyone has their right to an opinion. Non?

    • Kaiser says:

      Sorry to disappoint, but i do consider those commenters “trolls” because, as I mentioned in nearly every post, Amber doesn’t self-identify as a lesbian, and she’s had relationships with men. And yet on every f–king post, trolls would come out and act all wide-eyed and fake-innocent, “What do you mean? This could never happen!” BS.

      • Jess says:

        Kaiser, I have seen the tape from a GLAAD event where she said she’s gay. Not a lesbian, but “I’m gay and in a relationship with a woman.” That, to many, was Amber saying she was GAY! Not bi, but gay. People don’t come out to say they’re bi. Everyone is bi. Amber came out at this conference. To people in the community, it was sort of a big deal. I’m not saying you’re wrong, and that she isn’t bi… but she pulled a lot of people’s chains by saying she was gay and then flipping it into bi. That’s all.

      • Kaiser says:

        @Jess – Here’s the interview Amber did with AfterEllen:

        http://www.afterellen.com/people/2010/12/amber-heard-talks-about-being-an-out-lesbian-in-hollywood

        They make a big deal about how she’s “come out” but if read her words, she’s talking about not labeling herself and “loving” whoever. But I do agree – she let everyone label her a lesbian when really she’s bisexual and she was in a serious relationship with a woman. Who she then dumped for Johnny Depp.

      • May says:

        Jess, just because someone comes out doesn’t mean their sexuality is suddenly owned by “the cause”…And did you seriously just say that bisexuals aren’t queer enough?

  5. lisa2 says:

    It’s funny how all these supposed hook ups get so much attention. Then when there is no real proof of a relationship the media spins it and says that the two parties have “broken up”.

    I don’t think there ever was a relationship. And the fact that the media has no pictures or even real actual accounts of anyone seeing them together ever now the new story is Amber or Johnny ended it.

    • Rosina says:

      I’m with you @Lisa2, don’t believe this hook up for a second, she is just not his type (clearly established as waif). Case in point Winona, Kate Moss and Vanessa.

      I just think this is his publicist trying to deflect the rumors about her and I can see Amber going along with it to remove the work pigeonhole she gotten herself in by declaring she was gay (don’t believe that either, I think she just wanted attention, but the reaction was not quite what she was expecting hence the fast backtrack).

      I think it has been clear for a while that Johnny has been going through some kind of midlife crises. Looking a mess and being a slut, by the way I had no problem believing the Olsen twin hookup; just his type. But this one not so much.

  6. mia girl says:

    What in the name of Halloween is Depp wearing in that first picture?!

  7. ladybert62 says:

    (1) She looks better with her hair UP and away from her face

    (2) What happened to the horse he bought for her – that is what I am concerned about!!!

  8. Dani says:

    She looks like Kendra Wilkinson (or however you spell it)

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      I met Kendra when her husband was playing for the Eagles and they were living in NJ. She is average, at best. Bad skin, lazy eye. Not cute. Amber is stunning and not at all budget looking like kendra.

      • stinky says:

        Kendra is worse than any Kardashian, in my book. Talk about lowest-common-denominator(emphasis on ‘common’!)
        She’s rank. Glad I never see her stories HERE- not that she has any. ick.

      • Palefire says:

        Ewww mort really 5 minute baby oil ride on THAT guy seriously ???? I almost just barfed. I always assumed in my naive way the girls are just eye candy to have around I didn’t know they did stuff w him wahhhhhhhhh sooooo gross.

    • reddmasters says:

      I totally agree, how relevant is this skank that she is still on t.v.? I hope they pull the plug on her after this season. And to add insult, she treats her husband like crap.

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        After that tell all book where she talks about the 5 minute “ride” she took on Hef (where he was slathered with baby oil) after a dozen other women had their turn, I decided I had no respect for her. She’s a glorified prostitute, who exchanged sex with an old man for a weekly allowance, a pair of boobs and a place to live.

  9. Mayday says:

    I still don’t believe they were boning only due to the fact that he is the kind of guy that *clearly* has a type.

    I never bought the Eva Green thing either, but I found it more realistic than Amber Heard, but hey, who knows?

  10. diana says:

    🙂
    Cant disassociate jack Sparrow from Johnny Depp. Ever.
    But love love love Tasya.
    Pls I want story like this: JD fell in love with Amber Beard an left VP. Tasya kicked his ass. Johnny with his bust ass went and hid in a corner, crying on the shoulders of Marilyn. Enter newly single TC.
    Just imagine TC and JD, the greatest celebrity pairing ever.

  11. me says:

    Her girlfriend looks like a girly model of Johnny Depp. It’s odd but it makes sense.

    • melior says:

      Can someone explain to me why is it that in homesexual couples there’s almost always one girl who takes on the manly look and one guy who takes on the womanly look? I mean what’s the point of being homo if you’re still looking for the kind of physical complementarity that heterosexual couples have?

  12. marie says:

    Meh if they were boning (probably were) then he did it cause he could and she did it for the publicity.. I don’t see her ending it either, if anything he got what he wanted and moved on down the line..

  13. NeNe says:

    I’m sorry,but anyone in the public eye (actors, actresses, singer, etc…), that claim they don’t like the drama are in the wrong profession. I personally think that in their line of work it comes with the territory. Maybe, just maybe, she decided she liked girls better. That would certainly be a low to Johnny’s ego, now wouldn’t it???

  14. Lurkeelee says:

    Not that I am denying it as I don’t usually follow JD personal life in the blogs, but how do we know “he is a drunk”? Is there proof? I don’t recall him getting busted for dui or anything.

    As for him and Amber Heard, I actually liked the idea of them as a couple, but it may have been tabloid invented rumor to begin with. I do believe him and Vanessa Paradis separated long before it was announced publicly and he is being painted as the adulterer unfairly. JD and VP may have both been seeing others for all we know. I also heard rumers they had an open relationship, which may or may not have been true. This thing reminds me of the Pitt, Jolie and Aniston triangle thing. Alot of women bloggers hating on JD and trying to made VP a victim, ala Aniston, ugh. Not saying this is the case with Kaiser, but women bloggers/posters in general.

    • Angel says:

      There are a couple of videos on YouTube of him falling down drunk in the last 1-2 yrs. Not just like he had one too many, more like ten too many. He’s a drunk.

  15. ramona says:

    I realise I’m the only person in the world that thinks this, but I don’t think Johnny Depp is some sleazeball.

    I think he ended his relationship and proceeded to act like a crazy teenager for a while. Unfortunately for him, he did it in the public eye. A bit of eye-candy, a bit of tail… Tacky, but not a mortal sin.

  16. lafairy says:

    Is johnny Depp balding??

    In the second pic it looks like he is seriously starting to bald and try to hide the lack of hair with some strategically strategically placed strands of hair .

    Gosh he really is the epithome of midlife crisis man: washed up, empty, foolish, bloated AND balding

    • MMs says:

      Johnny bald! Now we know why he not takes off his hat.
      Yes, he screams midlife crisis.

  17. lady_luck says:

    “free thinking and independent” huh?

    perhaps just a little too much of the “free”.

    She’s got a face you would just love to b_tch slap. I think she’s dug her own grave with this situation.

  18. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    All that grease in Depps hair makes me want to go to Mickey D’s and get some fries 🙂

  19. carrie says:

    They never were together but now she s famous

  20. Zorbitor says:

    Mommy, what did Johnny Depp do with that lady?

  21. Meh says:

    In those picture with his kids, arriving to Nice (on Lainey’s website) he carried a pack with “NON-ALCOHOLIC” beer (“Becks” to be precisely)

    So it’s true? I’ve read several reports that he stopped drinking alcohol since february…

    And even if I think it could be a decision motivated by his children, if Amber (and her influence as his new love-interest) had something to do with this, then…THANK YOU GIRL!!

  22. kim says:

    Johnny’s almost 50 (born in 1963) — so. technically, he’s not a “mid-life” crisis — the average life expectancy in U.S./France around age 79 — not 100. sorry, but it’s a pet peeve, when people assert “mid-life” crisis erroneously. no doubt though, Johnny is struggling with a personal crisis. not sure he’s got a substance abuse problem. wishing him strength and courage. namaste.

    • Celestine says:

      Thank you, Kim. I agree with you – major personal crisis, PLUS major depression (many such ppl stop caring for their appearance & hygiene – everything Depp did for the last few yrs until after the Olsen incident, when he said he stopped drinking. I kind of wonder if he would have ended up like Ledger if his 2 security honchos hadn’t pulled him out of that bldg). He was very unhappy with his situation, for what reason we may never know. Now he looks much better. May it continue, for his sake & his kids’, who love him.

  23. joy says:

    re lesbian v. bisexuality — for many of us, sexuality is fluid. in my experience, attraction and chemistry has always been about the person, not the gender. i think it makes American society uncomfortable, when an individual’s sexual orientation cannot be definitively labeled. ambiguity is not acceptable, and it’s a shame.

  24. foozy says:

    her girlfriend looks like johnny!!! she’s dressed like him..

  25. M-la says:

    Leave them alone!….

    But by the way, if she’s dating- allegedly- the biggest movie star in the world, she always will have “media attention” with or without the “homewrecker” thing…so I don’t know what she was expecting!!

  26. Terry says:

    Someone on the Bohomoth site said that the real rumor in Hollywood is that Johnny dumped Amber due to “some less than noble behavior on her part.” I think he finally listened to his friends who were saying she was a gold digger and selling him out to the tabloids. I believe it was her PR and not Johnny’s that was trashing Vanessa.

    He seems to have stop drinking and hopefully both him and Vanessa are happy with moving on.

    • Blank says:

      Scapegoat anyone? I don’t think she’s innocent but they can’t pin his behavior on her.

  27. Linda says:

    Could it have something to do with his drinking?

  28. ernie says:

    I agree, her PR team is encouraging the rumors for Amber’s publicity. This is all so “pre-arranged” it is laughable. Now, we have Amber Heard to feel sorry for YET ANOTHER time. Depp was completely happy with his family late last August, photos of he and Vanessa kissing & hugging. Both Johnny & Vanessa had seriously busy filming commitments that made it hard to keep their relationship on even keel–especially with one in France and one in the US. Vanessa has long said that they give each other the space necessary for the relationship to succeed. The problems began in October, when Amber & Johnny reunited to promote The Rum Diary. That is when they became involved and cheating started. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to Amber’s career–to be associated with Depp! I’m surprised Kaiser, that you don’t call her team on this, it’s so obvious she and Tasya are posing to try and deflect rumors. And yes, she is a gold digger. Note that there’s been nothing from Vanessa’s PR on this whole drama. The real reason for drama may be deeper. And yes, it sounds like Robin Baum (Depp’s PR girl) is tossing in lots of grenades like “He’s so relieved not to be with Vanessa” just to keep Johnny & Amber in the news, deflect rumors from herself, and make him look like some desirable stud. The fact that it’s all Vanessa’s fault are stories coming from Johnny’s team. I’m waiting to see if Johnny and Amber reunite, or if he’s moving on to the next flame. BTW, isn’t Vanessa in France now?

    • VCellos says:

      “it sounds like Robin Baum (Depp’s PR girl) is tossing in lots of grenades”… Yes!

      “she is a gold digger..” YES

      BTW, isn’t Vanessa in France now? Yes, she’s in France 🙂

    Amber est retournée vers sa copine parce-que celle-ci, pour récupérer Amber, met maintenant sur sa t^ete le m^eme chapeau que Johnny DEPP…! HI HI HA HA !!

  30. erin says:

    That’s the problem with fictional gossip stories. They have to figure out a way to validate the story, with another fictional story. These ‘sources” are from places like Radar (which is the Nat. Enquirer) and E. Give me a break. Like the silly Ashley Olsen story…the weekend he supposedly “hooked up with her, in NY, she was in L.A. at Oscar parties. He was in NY visiting his friend, Patti Smith. He’s not a “drunk” and he’s not “balding.” He’s very busy filming and I’m sure he has been paying O attention to all this crap. And it IS crap.

  31. MichelleR says:

    He looks more fem than she does.

  32. Palefire says:

    I think the whole thing is growing up w Johnny Depp thinking he’s this cool guy above acting like a sleazy bored aging man who’d go bone a blonde in her twenties.. We all wanted him to be that cool guy at least I wanted him to be. That nice guy that’s quirky a artist a individual that shunned Hollywood and those trappings. I’m sure making that big of a decision that late in life sucks for him and his kids and Vanessa. But something about this just stinks really bad to me and I just dont like him anymore and I’m not really a fan. The whole amber heard thing just made me really really not respect him.

  33. Sophie says:

    Maybe Amber cooled it with Johnny because he’s back visiting Vanessa, in Paris, with his kids. I could see them separating and still being friends (and lovers)the French way. Here’s the story
    http://vanessaparadisnews.tumblr.com/post/27662592780/paparazzi

  34. Sophie says:

    The article says she’s setting up house in Paris and planning to have the kids go to school there in September. The source says after 14 years of being with Johnny Depp he was surprised that she wanted to return to France to live. I don’t blame her for wanting to leave Hollywood after all the negativity towards her. The French also have a much different view of marriage and relationships than most. I think that Johnny & Vanessa will always love each other and whatever happens, I wish their family well.

  35. Aboveall says:

    @Kaiser: Do you know that french mags are reporting that Vanessa has a “new love” (she has had for all this months!) and she’s planning take their children away from US? (it said that she’s so “infatuated” by her new love that she wants to live in Paris and she wants the children with her there)

    Oh! gosh! That’s mean! because in the french media says that it took Johnny by “surprise” because he was convinced (they had an agree) that his kids will remain living in LA, at the same school, with their friends, and of course near (with) his Dad!!

  36. V says:

    When I was walking down the street I saw them in a car and she was yelling at him to have sex with her and she also said that I was nasty. When I’m very clean and she is she suck pussy and has some sort of sex with woman. Woman god made man and woman to be togother the other why around.

  37. eljeran says:

    Amber is such BS! I have no respect for Bi/Les who go straight as soon as a celebrity man comes along. AH is just ANOTHER hollywood skank with no boundaries. I thought better of JD. I believed he was better than Hollywood trash and learned to stay away from the garbage when things went south with Winona. Maybe he is having a midlife issue. His movies are bombing, he’s getting older, audiences are getting younger and losing interest….yep, time to screw a blonde 20 year old.

  38. eljeran says:

    If your are screwing a man who is NOT DIVORCED, then you are screwing a MARRIED MAN. God I hate actresses. Truer words were never spoken but by william shatner to charlie sheen: why do you pay prostitutes for sex when actresses will do it for free?

  39. eljeran says:

    And one more thing….BIsexuality is a freaking crock of sh!t. It is just a way for women to be self indulgent.You never hear of a bisexual man. when a man has sex with another man he is GAY and never does he become straight cuz he meets a beautiful actress. Actresses are the skankiest nastiest pieces of crap.
