Johnny Depp confirms: he got with Amber Heard when he was still with Vanessa

FFN_RIJ_ART_ELYSIUM_SET1_010916_51942781

Last Thursday, Johnny Depp attended the Santa Barbara Film Festival solo to pick up a lifetime achievement award. I covered some highlights from his two-hour conversation with Leonard Maltin, but as it turns out, Variety didn’t have these specific quotes, which is why I’m covering it now. Depp was asked about Amber Heard, seemingly in the context of his career, because they allegedly met for the first time as they filmed The Rum Diary back in 2010. The film came out in 2011 and by 2012, Depp and Vanessa Paradis were over and he was shacking up with Amber. I have always believed that there was an on-and-off affair between Amber and Johnny, likely starting when they worked together, but absolutely by the time they were promoting the film in the fall of 2011. I have always believed that Amber is the reason why Johnny ended things with Vanessa, that is if you believe Amber represents everything about his mid-life crisis. So, with that timeline in place, what did Johnny say about his wife?

When Johnny Depp met his wife, Amber Heard, for the first time, he knew they had something special. The couple, who just celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary, met on the set of 2011’s The Rum Diary. And while there were definitely sparks between them while filming, Depp says it wasn’t until after they parted ways that he realized how strong his feelings for her really were.

“She was in my head, so I tracked her down,” Depp, 52, said onstage at the 31st annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Thursday, where he was presented with the Maltin Modern Master Award for his accomplishments in the film industry.

“We tracked each other down,” he added. “We tracked each other down. Actually, incidentally, it was amazing. It was at the first day of press on The Rum Diary. Then we married that very day!”

Well, not really – the two dated for nearly two years before typing the knot in a private ceremony on a beach in the Bahamas. Lately, they can’t seem to stop gushing over each other.

[From People]

Okay… so, he’s saying they filmed the movie in 2010 and didn’t have an affair, but they totally got together while they were promoting The Rum Diary in 2011. And Depp and Paradis didn’t announce their split (through their publicists) until June 2012. To be fair, there were widespread rumors for most of 2011 and the first half of 2012, and most people believe that Depp and Paradis had been unofficially separated for months before they announced their split. Sources also consistently said that Paradis was tired of Depp’s midlife crisis and that Depp was fooling around. So what Depp is saying now is just a confirmation of all of that. What do you think “we tracked each other down” means? Because Amber was in a relationship around that time too. Ugh.

    “a man is only as faithful as his options” – and when you’re famous (even though you’re gross, like Johnny) you have infinite options.

    I’m not surprised when these things happen – I’m only surprised when people clutch their pearls over it.

    • Nikki says:

      This is very sad to me, KNOWER, if you believe that of ALL men. Maybe many, MAYBE most, but definitely not all. Some men take their marriage vow seriously, even when super tempted. Bad enough to cheat, but to give interviews rubbing it in is pretty tasteless, IMO. He is just so ICKY now…

      • ell says:

        it’s not just men, it’s women as well. cheating is very common, even when you’re not a celeb. it’s sad, but a reality.

      • Anne says:

        yeah, it’s true of many, but not all.

      • Laura says:

        Except that he didn’t even cheat and didn’t give an interview to rub it in or anything. He’s been nothing but a gentleman to Vanessa.

    • perplexed says:

      I’m surprised he married Amber since he didn’t marry Vanessa (or Kate Moss) or everyone else he had been with for years. I always thought he liked being engaged, but not necessarily married. I guess I was wrong.

      • minx says:

        She’s a lot younger and beautiful…he wanted to nail it down, evidently.

      • little boots says:

        I don’t believe they are really married.
        I think they had a “spiritual” ceremony but I don’t believe it’s legit.
        Where is the marriage certificate? Something is off about this whole thing.

      • HeySandy says:

        @Minx there is a lot of truth to that…he isn’t in the first flush of youth anymore and isn’t the hot “it” boy these days. Probably feeling his age and hot young Amber makes him feel young again.

      • anna says:

        they always do that. They hit 50 get nervous insecure and suddenly marry the woman a la George Clooney. ALthough Clooney is nowhere near the gross level of Depp

      • Chinoiserie says:

        It was Vanessa that did not want to marry not Johnny.

      • Farhi says:

        I believe it was Vanessa who didn’t want to get married.

      • Sandy says:

        Um, yeeeeaaah. He’s 52 and she’s 29. Textbook midlife crisis. He def. wanted to lock that shit down. Which is great until she comes to her senses, then she’s just in for a HUGE payday.

    • Emily C. says:

      That’s absolutely untrue. It both insults all men and excuses those who cheat, as if they couldn’t help it because they’re men. Total nonsense.

    • Veronica says:

      A man or woman is as faithful as he or she chooses to be. There are lots of reasons why people have affairs, which is why cheating occurs at roughly the same rates in both sexes. (Men do cheat slightly more – but I suspect that’s likely because women are more often the stay at home parent and have less temptation through work association rather than any specific gender issues.)

      • mike says:

        The stay at home loyal housewife while hubby bangs the secretary logic sounds straight out of 30 years ago… Each sex can cheat just as easily as the other. Women are in the workforce just as much as men these days.

    • LM says:

      I, unfortunately, agree with you Knower. I’ve seen it too many times now that it can’t be denied. I think most men (and quite a few women) will cheat if given the chance.

  2. Lin says:

    Budget Scarlett

    • Kitten says:

      I usually find her to be very “meh” in terms of appearance but she looks really stunning in these photos. She also looks really high, but that’s another story…

    • Miss Melissa says:

      She’s pretty, but there are lots of pretty gals out there, especially in Hollywood. I don’t get the hype about her. I don’t see what is exceptional enough to make her an “it girl.” She doesn’t have a big, charming or engaging personality. I always get an almost aloof vibe from her… and a coldness or hardness.

      Scarjo, love her or hate her, has that undeniable sexy factor no matter what she is doing or looking like, ala Marilyn.

    • robynsing says:

      HAVE YOU SEEN HER IN RUM DIARIES?? She is breathtakingly beautiful. Soooo striking. I can see where he got googly eyes over her and then she has that boho alternative personality and loves blues like he does. Youth sealed the deal.

    • teacakes says:

      Accurate. From certain angles (like the ones she’s photographed at here) that’s exactly what she looks like.

    • Farhi says:

      Technically Amber is more beautiful than Scarlett if we are just talking about her body and face. Amber’s face is flawless and proportionate. She is tall with beautiful hair.

      But Scarlett makes up for it and then some with her charisma and personality. She is magnetic, she got “it” and Amber doesn’t have it. Comparison to Marilyn is a good one. But Scarlett is also a much smarter girl than Marilyn.

      • Kitten says:

        I actually think Scarlett’s face is prettier than Amber’s. Even though you’re probably right about the “technically-perfect” proportion and symmetry of Amber’s fine features, there’s something about her sleepy eyes combined with the odd shape around her chin/mouth area that I find less than attractive.

        But that’s obviously splitting hairs. I’m sure if I met her in person I’d think she was beautiful but you know…

      • Miffy says:

        Totally agree. In, say, a passport photo, side by side, Amber is the more physically and typically beautiful of the two but Scarlett really just has that vibe that will stand to her long after their looks have faded and as the old adage goes ‘You can give a person everything but charisma.’

      • Fiona says:

        I think it’s stupid to think that beauty is a model built in your head to live up to certain standards. I don’t think amber is more conventionally good looking. To me, beauty is the whole package. Charisma/attitude, a unique face (not some generic look like amber), a different body type. Doesn’t have to be tall and thin to be more beautiful. Scarlett has it for me, along with emilia Clarke, mila kunis, christina Hendricks, Amy Adams, jennifer lawrence, Kate beckinsale etc. I could go on. I hate how we have to constantly compare women out of ten and rank them. It’s silly. Some of the most beautiful people I’ve met have weird features and aren’t perfectly symmetrical.

  3. missmerry says:

    does anybody care about either one of these people?

    I don’t…

    • Malice says:

      Yes, CB cares. Why did you click on this post if you don’t care?

    • saras says:

      Yeah especially since he fell into the cliche that he was rebellious against. Dlisted had a close up of his teeth and its really sad considering I have seen homeless with better ones. The guy owns a freaking island and he has meth teeth! Not going to live a long time if thats how he/she cares about hs health.

  4. QQ says:

    Ok, Captain Obvious, we’ve BEEN saying this but thanks for the confirmation and whatnot #VanessaParadisIsPorkingaFINEspecimenWhoDoesntAccesorizeANDSHOWERS

  5. Christin says:

    Sounds like he wanted to erase his ‘I tracked her down’ comment by changing it to ‘we tracked each other’ and saying it twice.

    I need my Kanye translation tool here, because it sounds like JD is also saying they didn’t meet in person again until the PR started and they married that same day? Trying to keep the real timeline obscured?

    • Pinky says:

      Agreed. And he’s incoherent from drug use and alcoholism. Why bother interviewing him?

      -TheRealPinky

      • SpareRib says:

        Is this a thing now? Signing off like we aren’t just random commenters on a gossip website? What has humanity become?

  6. kri says:

    I’m in what ever the opposite of shock is. Dude, enjoy your mid-life crisis evidence while you can. Unless you bust a baby in there, she’s not staying .

    • Tiffany says:

      I don’t know. Her career is not going well and the jetset lifestyle she has become accustomed to is expensive. Selling her Mustang will not cover it.

    • lisa2 says:

      Babies are not the glue that make anyone stick. Even if she did have a child’ that doesn’t mean that the relationship will last.

      People don’t stay together for children.

      • OhDear says:

        I mean he had kids with Paradis and he didn’t stay with her.

      • Miffy says:

        Pffft! Who’s talking about the relationship? Imagine the child support she’d get off him? She could pretend she’s turning down decent scripts because they’re not arty enough for her for the rest of her pretend career!

        In all seriousness though, anyone who thinks kids will make a relationship solid is in for a world of hurt. I think that should be taught in health ed classes now.

    • funcakes says:

      “Bust a baby up in there”
      Best phrase of the day.

    • tracking says:

      Baby=major $$, could precipitate a departure. Though I don’t see her wanting one. What does she have other than her hotness?

      • OhDear says:

        If the accusations of her being a famehussy/gold-digger are correct (not saying that they are), then baby = publicity and “insurance” in the form of child support payments should they break up.

  7. stinky says:

    classic. don’t jump ship till you’ve got options. weak.

    • Jessie says:

      He is a needy co dependent man Imao.Can’t be single. I believe he had didn’t leave moss either before he had gotten interested in paradis.

  8. lisa2 says:

    Well the press was sure barking up the wrong tree and the tabloids had some nasty and UNTRUE stories going on at that time..and sadly people were attacking others he was working with. Funny how that goes.. Always so willing to believe things that are lies when the truth is so obvious it could bite you.

  9. funcakes says:

    My,My that Amber is a lucky girl to have won the prize known as Johnny Depp.

    Vanessa really dodge that smelly,booze soaked bullet. Even Amber’s not a good enough actress to pretend she can tolerate his tentacles being wrapped around her.

  10. Elsa says:

    Technically he said that he fell in love with her when he was with Vanessa not that they got together physically which happened in late 2011.There have been whispers that Johnny and Vanessa’s relationship was having a lots of problems for a long time before so it appears that Amber was the final nail at the coffin. They’d have split for something else occasionally. But the truth is it all happened years ago I don’t think anyone cares anymore. Also can a midlife crisis last 7 years?Cause they first met in early 2009…

    • Jessie says:

      Technically he was still married to Vanessa in 2011. So technically he did. Amber was also in a relationship at that point. So actually she did too

      • Malice says:

        Actually, he was never married to Vanessa. She didn’t believe in marriage.

      • VirgiliaCoriolanus says:

        They weren’t married at all. They were together for a really long time–14 years.

      • Elsa says:

        Indeed Johnny and Vanessa were supposed to be together in late 2011 and that’s what we all thought but who knows what happened behind closed doors….I don’t know abour Amber and her gf but there were a lot of whispers about Johnny and Vanessa’s relationship hitting the rocks or even being open. And they weren’t married

      • Jessie says:

        He was still with her in long term relationship which included kids. They had a family. You get my point.
        I don’t care about rumours about problems I still think it’s odd to say you “married” your wife while you were still in a relationship with the mother of your kids.

      • Naya says:

        Jessie, I think the point is he may not have been with Vanessa. Just because the publicists announced it on day X doesnt mean thats when it ended. A lot of these celebrities dont announce a relationship is over immediately unless its really acrimonious.

      • Leah says:

        @Naya
        They denied the break up at first, amber was in a relationship too. So theres that….Furthermore if Vanessa Paradis and him were over way before they told the world he should clear that up now, especially in the context of this statement. Its very strange that at the time he claimed he was still with vanessa but now all off a sudden he claims he was with Amber.

  11. mmm says:

    Like they were trying to find each other “casually” even if they were both paying attention to their respective schedule to try to coincide which it didn’t happen until the press of Rum Diary?
    Remember that they both were in relationship and Johnny used to live in France by the time and working all over the world by the time and Amber was also working in other countries, maybe that’s why it didn’t happen sooner
    That’s how i read his words

    • Miffy says:

      That story would make a whole lot more sense if we didn’t live in a world of social media, even if you’re ‘off the grid’ it’s pretty hard to lose someone who works in such a small calibre of that industry completely.

  12. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Gross just got grosser.

  13. Elsa says:

    Also remember how Johnny and Vanessa became a couple. She herself confessed many years ago that she was in love with him since she first met him, 3-4 years prior becoming a couple. Depp at the time was with Kate and Vanessa was probably in a relationship too. If Johnny is disrespectful then Vanessa was too.

  14. Pandy says:

    Come on Johnny. Mid life crisis and you hook up with a faux lesbian struggling actress 20 years younger ….. Ca Ching!!!!

  15. JenniferJustice says:

    They should both be ashamed. He was married and had a family. She knew it and went for it anyway. Hope it was worth it. Vanessa definitely got his better years. Amber can have Meth Mouth Johnny. He looks as bad as Charlie Sheen.

    • Fiona says:

      To be honest, when you’re a struggling actress on Hollywood, you probably would do anything to get famous. To someone struggling like amber, dating johnny depp was like hitting the jackpot if she couldn’t make it herself. Too bad he went straight downhill after they started dating. Johnny depp would have had women throwing themselves at him for years, the blame should be on him. Amber just saw her opportunity and ran with it, I don’t really blame her.

  16. CornyBlue says:

    I literally cannot imagine anyone having to live with such a gross looking man. Amber is just way too pretty for this.

  17. prettylights says:

    Amber was playing for the win from the start. I read that she used to not hang out with the cast or crew after filming was done for the day. She would hole herself up in her trailer instead and apparently Depp was intrigued by the young starlet who wasn’t throwing herself at him or trying to buddy up. She was so ‘serious’ about her work and not partying during filming. I don’t know if it’s true, but if it is girl’s got major game and it explains so much about why he wound up with her. Even if he’s lost his hotness now he used to be absolutely gorgeous and is used to women throwing themselves at him since he was in his teens. She definitely made herself noticed if she was the one woman in years who didn’t.

  18. Fallon says:

    She is utterly forgettable to me. So, it’s good someone remembers her enough to track her down.

    I click on these posts because I can never believe how boozy these two always look.

  19. OhDear says:

    He is such a mess.

  20. Yepisaidit says:

    She’s lost a bit of her hotness. He lost all of his.

    • Fiona says:

      How did she lose her hotness? She looks the same.

      • Miffy says:

        Over exposure. Her having a platform revealed what a human eye roll she actually is. Definitely one of those people who should be seen and not heard.

  21. serena says:

    I think Vanessa dumped him way before that.

    • WTF says:

      I just want to clarify, in August of 2011 there are photos of Depp, Paradis and the kiddies on their boat the Vajoliroja. Depp and Paradis can be seen kissing, her hands in his pockets snuggled with the kids,, clowning around and also sitting quietly together on the boat’s railing. (presumably at that point they realized the paps were snapping and they hid the kids and baited the paps themselves). The press for The Rum Diary started late October/November of the same year. It doesn’t appear in these photos that Depp and Paradis are trying to prepare the kids for the “new phase”, it looks more like they are trying to convince the kids (and maybe the paps/public) that everything is ok. So based on his statement, we are suppose to believe that as this little scene is playing out, he’s got Heard on his mind and is trying to track her down, even though one year prior to that, Heard came out as a lesbian. To me this whole thing screams cover up. What they are covering, I don’t know and my answer to it would make this post longer so I won’t go there, you can all use your imaginations.

  22. SilkyP says:

    I am sure their infatuation (whether it was consummated or not) started back in early 2009 when Amber was cast in the Rum Diary. So not in 2010, not in 2011 (as is often reported) but in 2009, the same year The Rum Diary was filmed in Puerto Rico.

    The Rum Diary was a pet project for Johnny, his own production company was involved, and he had a large say in who would play the role of Chenault. He probably more or less handpicked her for the role, and she must have wanted to be hand-picked by Depp more than anything.

    I am not blaming Amber entirely for breaking up Depp’s relationship, if she seduced him it was because he was ready for it and wanted to be seduced. Somebody once remarked ‘I think they are perfect for each other in terms of life lessons’. Let’s leave it at that.

  23. WTF says:

    That quote was taken out of context and been augmented by the press. His reference was actually about how she came to be in The Rum Diary. The exact quote reads more like it was between her and another actress but she was in his head to be offered the role. They didn’t have to track each other down to start “dating” when the press for The Rum Diary began that was planned months in advance. Why would Depp go there, at the time, Heard was known as a lesbian, her sexuality was “changed” when she started dating Depp. Also, was it a coincidence that one of the press stops/events was in Heard’s home town of Austin, Texas? Not likely. Also, during the press it was reveled that Heard spent a lot of time in his trailer “listening to music”, yeah, right, sure that’s what they call it. I do believe that his comment of they “were married” that day was euphemism for “we had sex” that day. One way or another, it seems that Amber Heard was the last straw that broke the relationship Depp had with his family. Either way Amber Heard is and always will be a home wrecker. It’s one thing for a woman to steal another woman’s man, but when you take them from their kids that’s very different, IMO.

    • Emily C. says:

      You can’t “steal” a man. They aren’t objects, nor are they so incredibly stupid and childish that they can’t control themselves around women. Depp’s the one who chose to cheat and leave his family.

      • Laura says:

        But he didn’t actually cheat and leave his family..

      • WTF says:

        All I’ll say is, when a guy leaves you for another woman, it is his choice. However, when that guy as kids with you, that woman shouldn’t even be considering a relationship with another woman’s man. Anyone who defends Depp and Amber Heard in this, well, I’m guessing you won’t have any problem doing the same thing to someone else, that is until it gets done to you. Good Luck with that everyone.

  24. dana says:

    i believe he gave an intw where he mentions his divorce from Vanessa. Saying he loved her but he was a mess and Vanessa wanted out and they were better apart as friends. And Amber helped him get his shit together. Midlife crisis for sure and I’m not sure she helped but Amber to me was more of a next mommy help me move.

  25. Veronica says:

    Nothing most of us had guessed in advance. As far as I’m concerned, Vanessa Paradis gained more than she lost out of that breakup. She had Johnny Depp at his peak and got two beautiful children out of it. Amber can have the leftovers.

  26. Crispy says:

    Amber’s a very ambitious woman. She over poses.

  27. What's inside says:

    I think this is a Star is Born remake, poorly done.

  28. Bread and Circuses says:

    Back when Johnny and Vanessa appeared to be on the rocks, I rapidly came to the conclusion they had already separated but were not announcing that fact in order to give their kids time to adjust to the new normal.

    It just seemed so obvious they were not together, yet they were both resolutely claiming they were, and man-baby mid-life crises aside, both Vanessa and Johnny had always been very careful about protecting their kids from media attention. So it seemed in keeping with that protectiveness for them to keep the end of their relationship a secret from the press until the kids were okay with it.

    As for Amber and Amber’s relationship when Johnny came sniffing, well — she’s a grown-up and she made her choice. Obscene wealth with a drunk older man who chose her, versus a lack-lustre career and a girlfriend/boyfriend she chose for herself. It’s not like Johnny isn’t attractive, and it’s not like she was still a naive kid.

  29. mike says:

    Not sure why anyone is surprised… even Tom Hanks cheated on his wife when he met Rita Wilson in the 80s and he’s supposedly one of the few good guys left in Hollywood.

  30. Catelina says:

    Regardless of whether or not Johnny and Vanessa were technically separated or still together during the time he speaks of, the start of the Rum Diary press tour, is almost irrelevant in terms of how I feel about these statements. According to him and Vanessa, they were still together at the time. She is the mother of his children, and someone who will always be in his life because of that fact. It’s just disrespectful to say you ‘married’ someone else, even if it is obviously only a figure of speech (that just makes the wording even more unnecessary), on a day when you were still defining yourself as being with another person at the time.

  31. raincoaster says:

    Rather off-topic, but the Santa Barbara Film Festival is (or at least was, ten years ago) much more laid back than most. The town is like 90% movie stars, 10% their professional staffers like managers, etc. I worked security on the red carpet at one event there as a volunteer and the others were all in their 70’s. The woman to my left, who was adorable and I would LOVE to go to lunch with someday, had been a neighbor of Patty Duke’s who babysat Sean Astin as a kid, that’s how she got the gig. I think the fellow on my right was donating something like six figures to the festival, and he was well over 80. It’s a lovely, lovely place and the stars feel more relaxed there because basically everyone is famous and this is where they go to let their kids play on the playground with no paps, get buzzed on the beach, etc. When I went to brunch at the Bacara Resort (Because I couldn’t afford dinner there, no way) it was probably the best brunch of my life, and Oprah was at the next table.

  32. Liz says:

    I’ve always figured since he’s never DENIED he cheated on Vanessa with Amber that’s what happened. After all, he knows what’s being said and Amber CERTAINLY knows. So if they didn’t have an affair I would think he’d have flat out said that to protect his new wive’s ever so important image as well as show respect to the mother of his children AND his children. After all, if he and Vanessa were over as far back as some people want to claim, why not clear that up now??? It certainly doesn’t hurt anybody to say “well actually Vanessa and I ended in 2010, but we didn’t announce it publicly for the kids.”

    And the way the question was asked, in context his answer is more like “oh yeah we MET on the set in 2009 but we didn’t get together until 2011.” I think he was trying to back track and make it “better.”

    The “tracked each other down accidentally” part is what really doesn’t make sense. Depp knew she’d be on the press tour. As producer, he knew. He also no doubt had plenty of ways to contact her after filming and likely even had occasion to update her on the films progress since it’s release did take longer than usual.

    I think he got a bit tied up and said more than he meant to and tried to fix it but failed. Watching the videos, he’s not as clear spoken as the quotes make it sound. Lots of circling, stammering and he also made a lot of jokes for the audience. Context is everything.

    • Lola says:

      True, but Brad Pitt has repeatedly denied he cheated on Aniston. Aniston has also denied it, Courteney Cox denied it, his co-workers and peers denied it and said he is a respected straight upstanding man. And people (mostly Anistonloons with a NEED to believe ‘Brad hurt her’ regardless the facts and have already made their mind up) still believed he cheated. So denying it might not have made any difference. I am not saying I think Depp didn’t cheat, just that people will desperately cling to what they want to believe, regardless of pleas, protestations and denial. Because they need to believe there is a villain, even if there isn’t one. If people get it into their head that someone cheated and they really WANT to believe it regardless of facts, they wouldn’t listen to a denial anyway.

      • WTF says:

        But at least a denial would have caused some doubt out there, since it would have come straight from him. All of the “Depp can do no wrong fans” would have had it to prove he’s a good guy. Heard back in 2012 when all of this started to come out in public, claimed that none of her relationships ended badly or because of cheating. She was trying to remove herself from being the home wrecker, Depp just put her right back into the position of home wrecker in the public’s eyes.
        Also, know that there are many people on comment section like this that are here doing damage control. They are PR people for Depp and/or Heard, that are trying to change public opinion one post at a time. Their PR have people on payroll that their job is to on social media post positive statements and refute any negativity. It’s fact, I know people who do it, not for Depp and Heard but for others.
        Hollywood has been creating these marriages as diversions since the film industry started, this one is no different. IMO, this is not a loving couple, it’s a business arrangement. And the relationship with Paradis may not have been any better.

    Every single time I see a post on Depp and this girl, I remember a post here on Celebitchy (I really can’t help myself on pointing out who wrote the piece) in which the writer schooled us, some noted irritation in their writing even, on how people couldn’t simply respect the fact this girl was/is (???) a lesbian (at the time, she was in a relationship with another woman) – as she, Depp’s side piece, self identified at the time, not as bissexual, but as homossexual, lesbian (or “lesbionic” (POLIZZI, Snooki)…. sorry to say, I missed Jersey Shore now :O) – and the simple fact she was working with some hot actor didn’t mean she was going to get in bed with them.

    To make their point even clearer and more valid, the author even pointed out how when two known heterosexual actors or actresses work togheter, no one jumps into the conclusion that they “turned”, so, why couldn’t people respect Depp’s sidepiece’s sexual orientation?

    La donna è mobile!

    Oh, how the engines of the world turn!

      Yes, I thought she was a lesbian in a relationship when they met.

      according to her Annie Lennox looking BFF Amber was indeed “hitched” to her woman. She whined on twitter that it wasn’t right the media was reporting this as Heard’s first marriage. Apparently it hasn’t bothered Amber enough to set the record straight but I have indeed seen photos of Amber and her woman wearing wedding bands, I believe as late as 2011.

      I don’t really think Amber’s sexual orientation matters to her nearly as much as her ambitions to be a STARH! Girl screams opportunist and used to be pretty open about it. Now she’s playing Depp’s “I’m private” and don’t want fame game. She seems like the type that doesn’t get the internet NEVER forgets. ha ha

    And now, the sites are being forced to print a retraction. Guess Depp wasn’t suppose to say it. Makes his wife look bad. Hurts his baby mama and hurts his kids because now they know the truth. It also proves one thing, IMO, Depp has lost all sense. That’s a cat out of the bag that will not be able to be put away. He made the statement and he’s the one who knows (along with Amber Heard) what happened and when. Even Paradis and the kids couldn’t have said exactly when it happened, but Depp can. That was an honest statement on his part, he just didn’t think before he said it. Now the truth is out and they’re trying to bury it.

      Too bad most of the public already assumed he cheated. That damage was done a long long time ago. If Johnny didn’t want that to be the case, he should’ve been clear to announce his separation from Vanessa before hooking up with another woman. Now he can’t shake the “cheater” and Amber will never shake “home wrecker” smell.
