Is Amber Heard’s photog friend causing ‘problems’ with Johnny Depp?

Amber Heard

These are photos of Amber Heard at the London premiere of When I Live My Life Over Again. The title sounds pretty existential. This is actually an FSU student film where Amber plays a punk rock singer (even though she says she can’t sing) alongside Christopher Walken. Amber’s wearing a Temperley London dress, which is covered in bronze sequins. I preferred her version of this look last week with a dress from The Row.

Page Six has a new story about Amber’s happy fun time in New York. They say she’s hanging out with photographer Io Tillet Wright, and Johnny Depp has a problem with it. Wright identifies as a bisexual woman. She’s also a former child actor who pretended to be a boy for 8 years. Wright is an LGBT activist, and Page Six says Amber’s close friendship with Wright is causing “problems” for the bisexual new bride and her husband.

Eh. I think Johnny and Amber have plenty of problems, and Amber’s friendship (or flingship) with a female photog would be the least of their troubles. They could have an “open” marriage too, who knows. But yes, warning signs aplenty. They’ve only been married since February, yet I wasn’t surprised to hear that they could be on the rocks already. I’m including some of Wright’s recent Instagram photos. The captions could be considered suggestive or simply poetic. Page Six made a big deal about how Amber’s staying at the Bowery Hotel, and Wright posted a photo of a rumpled Bowery bed. Yet the famous Bowery teddy bear is still in place, so I don’t know.

Meanwhile, nobody knows where Johnny is right now. He’s not in New York with Amber. He’s not hiding with Marilyn Manson (who is in Tulsa, working on a film and visiting Skateland with his child co-star). He’s certainly not where he’s supposed to be, in Australia shooting Pirates 5. Johnny did have surgery on his hand after a go-carting accident. He was supposed to be back on set by late March. Something went wrong, and producers agreed to wait until today (according to Sydney Confidential). Then Johnny didn’t make his Friday flight. The movie’s publicist (Michael Singer) says everything is fine, and there’s no cause for alarm. He “assumes” Johnny is still recuperating.

Here are those semi-suggestive Instagram shots of Amber and Wright.

    She doesn’t have any cavities. That’s all I’ve got.

    • taterho says:

      It always helps to bring along Christopher Walken. That’s all I’ve got.

    • ab says:

      maybe she has cavities, but they are not filled with silver. this is something pretty high on my “when I win the lottery” list. I want to get my mouthful of silver fillings replaced with white.

      that’s all I’ve got.

      oh, and the bronze sequins are pretty from the front.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Ohhhh, yes, could be! I want those! I hate my fillings.

      • RR says:

        The ‘tooth colored’ fillings are nice because they are invisible, but the downside is they are not very permanent. They tend to only last a few years before starting to ‘leak’ and let decay form underneath & around the filling, leading to greater problems (needing a crown). Silver (amalgam) fillings have a longer lifespan. The best kind of fix is to get inlays– you can get gold, resin or porcelain and they usually last a lifetime. Its not uncommon to see geriatric patients with inlays they had done 70+ years ago that are still good. They are more expensive, but you only need to fix it once 🙂

      • qwerty says:

        @RR
        Amalgam fillings can cause many long-term health problems, look it up..

      • GoNatural says:

        @ RR

        Not true! I had my amalgam fillings replaced with porcelain fillings over 6 years ago and haven’t had any problems with them (though I’m careful to not crunch hard items). This is the less toxic substance I had on offer. I did it for health reasons not for aesthetics but I’m happy with my choice.

        Note to everyone who still has amalgams – google ‘amalgams and cutler’ and see where it takes you…

      • Other Kitty says:

        I have one porcelain filling, and three or four silver fillings. The porcelain one was the first one that I had done many years ago. I was concerned about having silver in my mouth because I didn’t like the way it looked. LOL. I found that the porcelain fillings resulted in a very very sensitive tooth, sensitive to heat and cold for about seven months. But I have had that porcelain filling since I was about 20 and I’m 45 now. I’ve never had any other problems with it.

    • Lesley says:

      Could be white fillings…. I have 3 and you can’t tell that I do!

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        I’m eating a jelly sandwich right now.

      • Isa says:

        I got my bottom teeth done in white and my top teeth in silver. I feel like it was a good compromise. The top fillings arent as visible when I open my mouth.

  2. Kiddo says:

    It sounds like Johnny is in a ‘bad place’, regardless of what Amber is up to.

  3. Shambles says:

    Christopher Walken looks like he needs a lot more cowbell.

    I honestly hope Johnny is okay. It worries me to read that he’s fallen off the map. Mess that he is, he was my first and forever celebrity crush and I hope the best for him, so I want to believe he’s disappeared to get some help.

    • Beep says:

      Maybe he’s in rehab.

      Ambers friend looks very clean and like she smells a lot better than Johnny Depp.

    • sills says:

      Me too, I was a Johnny stan back in his 21 Jump Street days, which we carefully videotaped on VHS and re-watched endlessly.

      He’s always struck me as a basically good-hearted guy who is perhaps a little naive and at some point his fame just completely overwhelmed him. Some people are just not wired to handle (well) that kind of massive notoriety. He needs to hole up somewhere, dry up, chill out, and re-prioritize his life.

  4. ell says:

    i have no idea why she married him, he’s old and unattractive and she could do so much better.

    • Kaja says:

      She loves him, dear. The’ve been together for YEARS. She really could NOT do any better. A basic “young” actor or model would not be better than Johnny Depp. And he’s still attractive. Many beautiful young girls like Amber would date/marry him in a heartbeat.

    • Kara says:

      im wondering too what first attracted her to her millionaire, island owning boyfriend with connections in her business.

      • ell says:

        hahaha, right ok i see your point; he’s rich. and i guess it’s enough if that’s all she wants.

      • qwerty says:

        Me on the other hand, I’m still scratching my head as to what he saw in this decades younger, slim, tall bisexual blonde

    • Jegede says:

      @ell
      Amber was not getting the fashion magazine covers, MET Gala invites, upgraded trailers or jewellry line sponsorships e.t.c before she hooked up with Depp.

  5. Kaja says:

    Hope Johnny’s ok.

    • erin says:

      His assistant, who was with him in Australia, tweeted yesterday that he was at the airport, leaving L.A. So, he might be in transient.

  6. MrsBPitt says:

    Johnny is probably in rehab! At least, I hope so! If her husband is in a bad way, that is really crappy of Amber to be taking those suggestive photos…I’m sure thats just what he needs…

  7. Kaye says:

    Oh my gosh. When I first saw that picture I thought, “How sweet. Amber brought her grandmother.”

    Christopher Walken needs to update his look.

  8. vauvert says:

    How come we could all see the train wreck coming, but not the two of them? I mean, maybe I am wrong, but she does not exactly display a loving wife attitude right now, parading all over NYC with friends while he is recovering… and he is not husband of the year material either – he used to go out of his way to support her in an effort to make her a star, and now that she has projects coming out, he is nowhere to be seen – not with her and certainly not at work. What a mess. Oh well. She is pretty but still comes across as vapid and completely bland. And the pics with the “friend”… if not to create gossip or prepare us for the irreconcilable differences split, come on! This is not how I pose with my friends, you know? (Gender and orientation having nothing to dow with it.)

  9. meme says:

    Depp is a drunken mess. He’s the one causing the problems. This won’t end well.

  10. InvaderTak says:

    She’s defying stereotypes? Which ones? She fits a lot of them to a t. Pretty typical Austin blond who made it to Hollywood in my estimation.

  11. jinni says:

    Why is it that certain stars who are obviously struggling with addiction get sympathy and understanding, but no one can seem to muster any sympathy for Depp? He is obviously going through something more then alleged mid-life crisis and I’m sure if he were to die tomorrow the same people laughing at his struggle would be the first to act all shocked and pretend to have cared all along .

    Also, if the rumors of Depp not taking her calls while he was in Australia are true, then he probably doesn’t care that she’s hanging out with her friends or anyone else for that matter.

    I just hope that he is in some kind of treatment and comes out of it healthy and mended.

    • smcollins says:

      This^^^^
      I’m definitely one of the ones that is concerned about him. He may be just fine, and this is all nothing more than rumors and speculation. But something really does seem to be off. I kind of hope that the theory he’s actually in rehab is true. His drinking has obviously become a problem, so I hope for his sake and the sake of his children that he’s getting help and is able to come out the other side a better man. I don’t know what to make of Amber…I don’t really have an opinion about her one way or the other. She’s no Vanessa, but that’s it.

    • Artemis says:

      Because he still thinks he’s the cool kid in highschool.

      It’s not just his drinking, he was always borderline douchebag and his manchild behaviour was forgiven because he was a gorgeous looking man. Rebel and all that. Now that he’s getting old, people see him for what he truly is and his break-up with Vanessa showed the signs of what was about to come. Nobody ever really held him accountable for his actions (and very recently, more people were still defending his public drunkenness). It’s about time.

      • Kaja says:

        How do you know what he thinks of himself though? He doesn’t seem to think highly of himself, he has never said anything good about himself. Johnny is hardly a “borderline douchebag,” he is the sweetest man in Hollywood and the nicest actor to his fans. I don’t really know how can anyone hate on him personally. Sad that such a good person gets lots of undeserved hate.

      • jinni says:

        That cool comment sounds like you believe Marilyn Manson’s impression of he and JD. But if you actually read how he describes himself you’d know Depp has never thought of himself as cool in any way, shape, or form. The same thing for the rebel image that was given to him by the tabs, that’s not how he sees himself. Also as for his public drunkenness, has he gotten into a car accident while driving under the influence? Has he attacked anyone in a drunk rage? He came to a show drunk and was soundly ridiculed, what more is supposed to happened to him since he committed no crime and hurt no one but himself by his display? Even the guy he was handing the award to when asked wasn’t upset by JD’s hot mess of a presentation. The way you are saying he has to pay for his actions, one would think he has been abusing woman and children for years and getting away with it. Or committing crime after crime that has put innocent bystanders in harms way and getting away scottfree.

        As for the borderline douchebag, Idk because he typically has a rep of being a decent human being.

      • sills says:

        The “cool kid in high school”? Where does this stuff come from? Dude is consistently voted “best to fans” by those fan clubby mags, by all accounts he always takes time to sign autographs and give a kind word. No diva antics.

        What seems clear is that (1) he has a (probably genetic) drinking problem and (2) this level of fame has messed with his head big-time. He needs to step away and sober up for good, or we’ll soon be hearing another Amy Winehouse/PS Hoffman/Whitney type story in the morning paper.

  12. Dońt kill me i'm french says:

    I hope Depp is in rehab ( or have a real good excuse) because his career will be definitively over if he doesn’t come on set soon

    • jinni says:

      It would probably end his career in regards to big budget movies, but he could still go back to smaller films. I really hope after this last Pirates that he does go back to smaller films.

  13. Me says:

    IO Tillet was just one of the girlfriends with her in NYC. She was with all her gang of best friends and her sister, that are always with her and with Johnny too.
    IO was one Amber’s bridesmaids, she’s close to Johnny’s children and not only Johnny support her cause by wearing the “We are you” t-shirt, but also in some of the pictures from the wedding at the island is visible that IO drove Johnny and his son Jack (in a golf car) to the wedding, so i don’t believe he doesn’t like her

    About the rest, it seems Johnny left LA on Sunday very late in the night (because the message of the wife of his assistant that are always with him, from the airport) and i think it could be possible he was waiting for Amber to close her promotional work in NYC which happened Saturday night, but already on Sunday night other of her best friends that was with her in NYC (Raquel Pennington) was in LA so it makes me believe that they headed back to LA immediately after her premiere maybe to catch the flight with Johnny or to say good bye…
    Now the question is: If they do catch the flight together, are they heading to Australia or to any other place to celebrate her birthday?

    • qwerty says:

      Yeah, it’s ridiculous to assume that they’re f***ing cause she’s bisexual. They friends. She lived in LA with her gf for a few years, are you really surprised some of her friends are bi/gay women??

  14. nickim souza santos says:

    I have a friendship with sister with my friend, why I’m not having an affair with her.

  15. nickim souza santos says:

    And for those who follow, knows It one of your best friends. So now it’s forbidden to have friends like that?

  16. DTX says:

    Well if the rumors are true that he’s avoiding his wife like the plague and not taking her calls for days while she’s freaking out about his well-being & calling everyone who works with him for info in his whereabouts, then I don’t see what the deal is if she’s attending her own movie premiere for work with her friends. Nor is it a big deal that said friend is a gay & says nice things about her on social media. Not everyone who is gay wants to f*ck each other the same way that not everyone who is heterosexual wants to f*ck each other either….jeez.

    Plus maybe Johnny needs to see other people be kind to his wife (that he was soooo desperate to marry, btw) & get a little healthy jealousy going so that he’ll stop being a disdainful ass to her.

    And FYI….I’m not a huge Amber fan, I’m simply looking at this from a objective point of view & I’d say this about any person in a similar situation.

  17. Loulou says:

    This chick usually annoys me, but I can’t hate that first picture. She looks good.

  18. worried says:

    I don’t know what’s happening but I just want him to be okay.It’s a real shame with a career like his and with the person that he is.Johnny always had his demons but he seemed more calm after he had kids.I just hope that he will fight his problems-if there are really any.About the rumours..IO Tillet has been friends with Amber for many years.They seem to be real best friends along with 1 or 2 other women.The fact is that tabloids make it look like she was in NYC to party with her female friends while she was there for her films’ premieres in TFF.After these she immediately left NY(from how it seems at least).The article mentions that Johnny doesn’t like IO..well he liked her enough to wear her T-Shirts supporting her compaign and so did his daughter who also appears to have a good relationship with her.But whatever happens…I just hope Johnny is ok,it pains me to see him like that…he is such a humble and nice man.

    • claudita says:

      of course, if he hadn’t been to new york with her, soon the tabloids were going to need a reason.

  19. Cait says:

    I perked up at “FSU student film,” and almost missed the entirety of the piece.

  20. JenniferJustice says:

    Blinds keep talking about a celebrity who lied about an injury when in fact they’re in rehab. Everybody thinks it Ireland Baldwin and the whole appendicidis thing. I think it’s Johnny and he’s back in rehab ’cause he can’t put down the rum jug.

  21. claudita says:

    It seems that when you’re bisexual, any close friend, they cite as the next.

  22. db says:

    Love Christopher Walken. His hair is a bit Quentin Crisp for my taste. I saw a pic of Lily-Rose the other day, she’s beautiful. As for Amber – I don’t know how much I believe this story. I think Johnny is accustomed to everyone being available to him at all times, put it that way.

  23. amp122076 says:

    Who cares about Depp? What I don’t understand is Amber’s shoe choice with that dress.

    First post on instagram – before it was edited.

    “I am so proud OF MY LOVE Amber Heard, for her performances, for defying stereotype, and for being a strong, out bisexual woman in a world that wants her to pick a team. It’s a big week for this birthday girl, and I’m so grateful to call her my family. “

  25. elle says:

    She looks very Keira Knightly-esque in that 4th pic.

  26. Other Kitty says:

    It makes me crazy when people point out her bisexuality now that she’s married. Supposedly, she is married FOR LIFE. This means “off the market”, usually. What difference does it make if she identifies as bisexual now? Is it appropriate for anyone to broadcast her sexual attraction to women now that she’s married to a man??! Ugh.
