Johnny Depp changed his Amber Heard-referencing ‘SLIM’ tattoo to ‘SCUM’

Johnny Depp has returned to America after spending a month in Europe and the Caribbean. He was in LA for a week, then on Friday, he resumed touring with his boy band, The Hollywood Vampires. These are photos from the band’s story in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where Depp got pap’d outside the concert. It looks like he has some kind of handler trying to drag him away, but Depp happily waved to photographers.

When he waved, photographers and eagle-eyed gossips noticed something different/strange. Apparently, after Depp married Amber Heard, he had “SLIM” tattooed on his knuckles on his right hand. Many thought that “SLIM” was a reference to Amber, perhaps even his nickname for her or a private joke they shared. Well, following the divorce filing and Amber’s accusations of spousal abuse, Depp had his “SLIM” tattoo changed. It now reads “SCUM.” Because classy, you guys. Here’s a blurry photo, but you can make out “SCUM”:

People Magazine also notes that Depp seems to have “blackened out” the tattoo he had of Amber’s face (?) on his right bicep. Famously, back in the day, Depp had a “Winona Forever” tattoo when he dated Winona Ryder. When they split, Depp didn’t just cover up the tattoo or have it lasered off: he repurposed it to say “Wino Forever.” Wino Forever seems almost blissfully kind compared to making “SLIM” into “SCUM.”

Let me ask you: is this the face, and are these the actions of a man who is going to settle with his estranged wife in the next month? Amber might need to drop some additional stories about how she’s willing to tell the whole story under oath.

    He’s always so classy.

    • qwerty says:

      That’s the real him, imo. That’s who he’s always been, everyone was just too charmed by his act (glad I inever fell for this BS). He’s a POS. And who calls himself Johnny at like 55 anyway?

      • Kate says:

        He’s 53.

      • Lindsay says:

        It’s a little different for celebs. After decades in the spotlight getting everyone to begin calling you something else. It’s still Kate Middleton after 5 years of marriage, the Catherine and Duchess stuff didn’t take after a decade in the public eye. The Rock is another example, it just kind of stuck. That’s why many actresses don’t change their stage name even if they legally take their husbands name when they marry.

        His name is so far down on his list of problems and shortcomings…

      • amilu says:

        What Lindsay said. There are quite a few famous elderly Johnnies: Johnny Carson, Johnny Mathis, Johnny Cash, etc… I don’t know that they went by Johnny in their private lives, but it’s tough to make a name change stick once you’re famous. I know I still call (minor celebrity) Jaime King James.

      • Hazel says:

        Johnny Carson did.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Someone whose name is Johnny, who has always been called Johnny? What should he change it to?

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        He’s called Johnny because his father is named John like him. I guess that his nickname for life.

    • qwerty says:

      BTW, will his daughter and Vanessandefend him as loving and caring now, too? I’f be so ashamed if this was my father.

      • Mira says:

        Lets leave his kids alone. This isn’t their fault, its understandable that they believe their dad. I don’t think we should have a go at them because of that.

      • Rachael says:

        Dude, gross. She’s a kid. Families go through intense periods of denial when faced with something of this magnitude in-family, and it’s 1000% stronger for the children of the individual in question. His family deserves nothing but kindness and empathy; he deserves to be blasted all over hell’s half acre for his bullshit. Let’s not confuse the two.

      • qwerty says:

        Wll she started speaking on it without anyone asking her to.

      • Lucinda says:

        Of course she did because he’s her DAD. And she’s a teenager, still a child. She’s going to have an opinion on all of this and she’s going to want to defend him. Geez!

      • Eleonor says:

        Agree with all of you who defended Lily-Rose.
        Let the kid alone, even if she says crap: to her it’s her dad, it will take a long time to accept this.
        Personally I grew up with a rage monster verbally abusive dad, you know how much time it took to me to admit that ? More than 20 years, I wasn’t that smart, I don’t know, but it was dad for me. It’s not an easy journey and I do not wish that to anyone.
        She has all the right to cherish all the beautiful moments she has with him.

    • Crumpet says:

      ‘When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.’
      Maya Angelou

      This comes to mind again and again as we see this unfold.

  2. Who ARE these people? says:

    Vindictive a-hole.

    • Birdy says:

      he is a dickhead! he should have had it changed to pos

    • Melanie says:

      I question his priorities. Hmm…is in deep mourning over the loss of his mother (was there even a funeral?), immediately goes on tour with his band, takes a vacation to his private island, all while in the middle of a heated divorce, promoting a film AND has two teenage children he co-parents. But hey guys, first things first, gotta get this bitch off my skin, ya know? You think he would have learned his lesson after Winona.

      His actions and reactions are so typical of an addict. He’s always the victim. I sometimes wonder how low the bottom is for some people. You think it’s bad as an onlooker, but their bottom can be so, so, so much lower.

  3. Size Does Matter says:

    How ironically apropos that Johnny has SCUM tattooed on his body.

    • Lindsay says:

      Yep. That the ‘Wino Forever’ and the black hole that drains energy, drama, narcissistic supply covering an impulsive mistake with permanent consequences. The “fixed” tattoos seem to fit him better.

      • silliness says:

        I gotta say, I was really ticked off by the implication of him switching the tattoo to SCUM at first, but then the same conclusion ran through my mind. How very appropriate those turned out to be. He IS scum.

    • Mickey says:

      He cut off his nose to spite his face. He seems very mature for a 53 year old. Time to drop the bracelets and the accessories. He always loos like he got oiled up and ran through the local Hot Topic. He never left the high school on Jump Street. Amber Heard and him seem like the perfect match the more they flap their shallow gums.

      • Susie 1of 3 says:

        @Mickey “looks like he got oiled up and ran through the local Hot Topic”. Love that one! 😂

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        Amber Heard? Wtf did she do? She’s the one who was abused for crying out loud!!🙄🙄

    • Samtha says:

      Exactly. I’m guessing he didn’t think that through.

    • Pix says:

      Exactly what I was thinking – very appropriate. I wonder if he hit her with that fist.

  4. Luca76 says:

    Oh I think Ambers relative quiet in the last few weeks means she’s settling. And if in fact he’s writing her a check but she can’t talk about him again in his mind it will be proof of his superiority. He’ll never admit what a creep he is and he looks as smug and deluded as hell.

    • Emma - The JP Lover says:

      @Luca76 …

      Sadly, I knew when Amber didn’t file an official report with the police that her intent was to settle. I wish she had filed an official report and forced the issue to court for something possibly ending with jail time rather than a hearing on whether or not to extend the restraining order. Johnny couldn’t have gotten out of ‘that’ hearing and she could have presented her evidence in a forum free from public opinion. I think she attempted to trial and convict him in the Court of Public Opinion, but I’m not sure it worked out the way she and her lawyer hoped it would.

    • Andrew says:

      The trial got delayed until August so she and her lawyers have no real reason to say anything at the moment. Doesn’t necessarily mean she is planning to settle.

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thanks Andrew!! There has to be a settlement at some point anyway in the divorce case. The restraining order hearing next month is something totally different. She was ready to testify along with her witnesses last month but his lawyer stopped it.No way she’s retracting her sworn statements along with her witnesses too.She wants that permanent restraining order for a reason.

  5. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Well, I like it. He has branded himself as scum, which he is. I know that’s not what he meant to do, but that’s how I choose to see it.
    It’s so typical of an abuser to be livid with the victim for calling him on the abuse. I already believed Amber, but his behavior is just more evidence.

    • Sixer says:

      I like this take!

      My mum always used to say that if a narcissist throws out an accusation, you know that whatever they are accusing someone of, they are or have done themselves. Cos they spend their lives talking to themselves in a mirror.

      Fits here, I think.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Fits exactly.

      • Cindy says:

        @Gnat and sixer- I like that. And I had never thought about it terms of the name calling, but it’s true. JD is awful, just disgusting. I never was a fan, but I had no idea whatsoever this was who he really is. I don’t even think it’s the drugs and alcohol anymore either. I think those things just made what was already inside him more apparent. I do think he’s miserable though. As in, I think he’s in a lot of emotional pain. He still thinks everything is “their” fault, so he will never change, but I don’t think he is happy, except maybe when he’s high. Other than that I think he’s terrified and miserable. Obviously just my full of shit Ph.D. in reading Celebitchy gossip for 4 years opinion with no basis in fact whatsoever. 🙂

      • Liberty says:

        Love it. Your mom knew things!

    • LadyJane says:

      Well he certainly isn’t “slim” but he might well be “scum”

    • Crumpet says:

      And the wino forever tattoo also describes him to a tee! He thinks he is being so clever, but the joke is on him, isn’t it?

    • Kiliki says:

      GNAT- damn if you don’t to make me laugh especially when I really need it. I ❤️ you for your guts and kindness and complexity.

      So right about branding himself!!! Good comedy!

    • HH says:

      Agreed. Depp always had this “bad boy” and “rebel” thing going for him. So, I guess it’s interesting to me that people don’t actually want to be believe that he may have done something bad.

    • Wren says:

      That’s how I see it too. I’m sure he intended it to be a SICK BURN to Amber but in reality he’s merely branded himself for what he is. Dear sweet thing probably thinks it’s totes badass though. See how rebellious and cool I am?!? This is super rebellious and cool, you guys. I am super awesome, this is totally punk. Watch me wave like a wannabe gangster because you need to see how rebellious and cool I am.

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        😂😂 Yep just advertising himself to the next woman! And there will be a next woman who’ll believe that it won’t happen to her because he’s too sweet and gentle to do anything like that😤 You’ve been warned future girlfriends. You won’t change and save SCUM Depp.

    • MC2 says:

      I totally agree & everything he has done since Amber came out just solidifies his guilt in my mind.
      I thought about him tattooing her nickname (read on another site that Slim was her childhood nickname) and then hitting her with that very hand. Yuck but it came to my mind almost immediately. How sad that she was hit by his hands and then had to look at her name tattooed on them the next day.
      He is scum.

    • BritAfrica says:

      So true…

  6. Lunamoon says:

    Maybe it’s his way of taking responsibility for his actions and letting the world know exactly what he is or how he feels about himself? After all, the Wino Forever tattoo is a strong reference to his alcoholism or fondness for drink – it was hardly a permanent dig at Winona Ryder for being a raging lush, as far as I know, so in much the same way, I feel that this is his way of branding himself and not Amber?

    • marshmellow says:

      If he were taking responsibility, he would admit his wrongs, publicly speak out against domestic violence, and donate to a women’s shelter whatever money he has left after paying his a*hole tax to Amber.

      • Lunamoon says:

        Which is why I said it was HIS way of doing things, not what he should be doing

    • Guesto says:

      Oh for heaven’s sake. While SCUM certainly describes him perfectly, self-outing as a theory fails grimly on a number of levels, not least that his first public appearance back in LA was with Doug Stanhope.

      Now THAT’S letting the world know exactly what he is, who he is, and how he feels about himself and Amber Heard.

      He has now confirmed that he’s a rotten-to-the-core lost cause.

      • Lunamoon says:

        It most certainly does not fail grimly at all! He outed himself – job done! He branded himself as Scum, right there on the very fist he abused her with!

  7. Julianna says:

    Deeply vindictive and childish.

    • tracking says:

      +1 But, yes, I think he’ll settle. He really doesn’t have any other choice. Of course, he’s furious about it and somehow believes *he* was the victim.

  8. Frexit says:

    Wow, he’s really not worried about facing any punishment if he’s openly being this big of a douchebag.

    No wonder women are afraid to report abuse and rape.

  9. Colette says:

    I can hear that gray haired man with black shirt saying,”Boss, Boss Let’s Go”

  10. kri says:

    Oh, look-the abuser has a nanny. Or a warden. Which is good, cause that’s what he needs-protection. From himself. God, what an a$shole.

    • iheartjacksparrow says:

      That gentleman is the head of his security team, Jerry Judge.

      • qwerty says:

        Is he the one who stood by as the POS threw stuff at Amber and did nothing to protect his job?

      • Pandora says:

        He’s the one who said Johnny wasn’t anywhere near her when she was screaming.

      • MC2 says:

        Yes- he was also the one who did nothing while Johnny abused her & then came out that she yelled ‘get away from me’ and when he entered the room Johnny was across the room. What a pos. I have no doubt that he knows that Johnny abused her. The cover ups make me sicker then the crimes a lot of the time. How sad for her that ‘security’ and a sober man just stood by & watched her be abused.

    • outhousecat says:

      It absolutely reminds me of the picture of Justin Beiber trying to get out of an SUV and being held back by his security guy. JB and Johnny Depp are both immature man-children that have no self-control or common sense.

    • mmm says:

      This bodyguard is the one who also tried to bribe a journalist in Australia back in 2015, when that journalist published the story that Johnny broke his hand in a fight with Amber, instead of the “go-kart” silly rumor that Depp’s camp put out in the media…

    • Shockadelica81 says:

      Here’s one of the bodyguard Jerry’s biggest coverups. I wonder what else those paid enablers coverup on a daily basis?
      http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/entertainment/johnny-depps-bodyguard-offered-money-to-gold-coast-bulletin-reporter/news-story/c51b41e38b5f4cb4a37cd669ffa50bfd

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        He’s the one who claimed (according to tmz😒🙄) that when he heard he scream he ran in and Amber was 20 feet away from Depp. But that’s irrelevant because she claimed in her statement that the bodyguards and her friend didn’t come in until AFTER she was hit with the phone! And that she ran to the other side of the room when her friend and the guards came in and Depp kept charging and yelling at her and getting closer to her. So the fact that he was charging at her meant that he was away from her at the time. I doubt that tmz and the bodyguards read her whole sworn statement befor they put that doozy out.

  11. Carol says:

    I can’t get over his awful haircut. He looks like Doug Hutchison trying to be Johnny Depp.

    • Lindsay says:

      Lol, you nailed it!

      • mimismiles says:

        Someone on another site said he looks like Sloth from the Goonies. Now I can’t get it out of my head every time I see a pic of JD.

    • lisa2 says:

      OH man…. I see that .. UGH…

      now I can’t forget it.

      (But I loved Doug in The X files.. one of their scariest episodes)

      • MC2 says:

        Made me crack up.

        lisa2- you should keep loving Doug in any way a dark, hidden secret 😉

      • Paige says:

        My favorite monster on the X-Files. Eugene Victor Tooms.

      • lisa2 says:

        MC2.

        I said I loved him in X-Files.. that ONE episode..that is as far as I go..

        @Paige
        Yes he was beyond scary in that one. I don’t recall; but did they ever revisit that character?

      • Paige says:

        Tooms returned in at the end of the first season in the episode “Tooms” He was killed in a mall escalator.

    • amilu says:

      Ding ding ding! That is exactly what he looks like. (And I’m with lisa2 — I really did love DH as Eugene Victor Tooms.)

    • Lunamoon says:

      He looks like he entered a Johnny Depp lookalike competition and lost

  12. MP says:

    He must really believe he’s still cool.
    That’s all I have after watching these photos.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I wonder how long it takes him to dress in the morning, what with all of the scarves, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings? I guess he doesn’t do the Coco Chanel thing where you look in the mirror and take off one accessory, huh?

      • Kiliki says:

        😂 definitely not

      • Giddy says:

        Maybe the reason his scarves look so greasy is that he never takes any of his “accessories” off. I think I just made myself sick imagining JD asleep in the buff except for all that garbage he layers on. Yuck!!!

      • qwerty says:

        Optimistically assuming he undresses for the night, I see.

      • Wren says:

        He probably looks in the mirror and then adds two accessories.

      • MC2 says:

        GNAT- he always does the Coco thing. This is him after removing 10 scarves and 14 necklaces 😉
        I picture that after getting dressed, Johnny looks like cousin It from the Munsters, only with scarves instead of hair.

      • Hazel says:

        I think he goes to bed in the clothes he wore all day. And I think he may shower about once a week.

  13. Amanda G says:

    He looks like a washed up wannabe rock star who can’t let go of his youth and realize he’s 53. The scum tattoo suits him well.

  14. lisa2 says:

    There was another tat of Amber on his right arm. It was of her in some sexy pose.. he blackened the whole thing with rectangle black. I guess he has been busy on that island.

    • Susie 1of 3 says:

      Notice how the right sleeve is rolled up more than the left just to be sure the blacken tatoo is in view. Is he waving to the crowd or waving his new SCUM label for everyone to see? POS.

    • Shockadelica81 says:

      And another one that read “Come with me slim” on hi right arm underneath the portrait of Amber. That’s been covered up with some black design. Pathetic little man.

  15. Insomniac says:

    It’s always good when someone’s contents are labeled so clearly, yes?

  16. sofie says:

    Growing up I loved Johnny Depp. Now he’s turned into a real arsehole! Maybe he always was but to blinded to see?

    • Shockadelica81 says:

      I know I didn’t want to see it! I even defended him multiple times whenever he showed up on a talk show or awards show sounding and acting drunk or high. I realize now that his decades long spiral is now catching up with him.

  17. saras says:

    Lol love to imagine him talking to the tattoo artist with scrabble tiles trying to figure out what to change it to. “How about i cum, scam or scum man?” “Scum yeah scum for sure!” PSA Don’t get relationship tattoos kids!

  18. Sunsetsnow says:

    He is gross!

  19. trickgirl says:

    For the love of Pete! He has a wallet chain, chain wallet thingy on. DUDE stay away from HOT TOPIC!

  20. Tessa says:

    I’ve adored JD since 21 jump st.
    🙁 I had a giant cut out of him I stole from blockbuster
    My life had been a big lie

    • Snowflake says:

      He was so hot then!

    • Kiliki says:

      Tessa- HA! Love it.

      I had an Austin Powers one in college. But just to make me laugh and he spoke to my roommates and me with his various tag lines as we walked by.

      He also didn’t disappoint 🙁

      Does anyone know when this will be OVER?

    • K2 says:

      Somewhere, my adolescence is curled up in the foetal position, rocking.

    • A.Key says:

      Hahaha, I still got a Jack Sparrow poster from the first Pirates movie somewhere. Love that character, too bad they ruined the whole thing with those horrible sequels.
      He played some great roles, can’t deny that, not even his personal life is gonna make me hate Edward Scissorhands or Don Juan de Marco.

  21. Cindy says:

    I know I just commented but feel compelled to do so again after scrolling back over those pictures. Are you kidding me? The body guard? Is that the Judge Jerry guy like someone said? Is JD 16 or 50? My god. Does he have a three way mirror to check out the full ensemble of his chaines, scarves, rings? Did he practice pointing so we could see his new “scum” tattoo? Justin bieber would even tell him to calm down.

    • iheartjacksparrow says:

      His first name is Jerry and his last name is Judge, not the other way around. He is listed in the credits of many of Johnny’s movies as being Johnny’s security. He also had a part in Sweeney Todd.

  22. Skins says:

    Keith Richards wannabe

    • qwerty says:

      They’re actually friends. Depp was friends with Keith’s son first and Keith thought he was his drug dealer.

  23. squirrelgirl says:

    A little off topic but I’ve had my eye on Amber’s career and will continue to do so… I really hope she doesn’t get dropped from DC because of a Depp powerplay of sorts. I could see him being vindictive as hell after this and keeping her from any and every job in Hollywood.

    And those outfit choices… who dresses him?

    • Shockadelica81 says:

      She won’t be. She just did the costume fitting a couple of weeks ago after it was canceled because of her weight loss. But she’s signed on for at least two DC films.I can’t wait to see her as Queen Mera/Aquaman’s wife myself🙂

  24. kanyekardashian says:

    I can’t even imagine the attraction to this loser. The drinking, the smoking, the ugly tattoos, the lack of conversation skills, not to mention the violence. Oh, and there’s the really sh!tty acting, too. If Amber was in it for the lifestyle, she got more than she bargained for.

  25. Hmm says:

    Vindictive. Controlling. And self-destructive, isn’t he?

    “Wino Forever” didn’t become a slam on Winona. It actually predicted what his own behavior was going to be. He wants “Scum” to be a slam on Amber Heard, but it’s actually going to define HIS behavior.

    He really loves self-fulfilling prophecies that doom himself. SMH.

  26. bettyrose says:

    This is possibly irrelevant, but Slim was Bogart’s nickname for Bacall, an homage to their first movie together, To Have and Have Not: Slim & Steve. Those were the names their characters called each other in the film and they continued to call each other that as nicknames.

    • vicki says:

      Johnny said Amber reminded him of Lauren Bacall when he first met her filming the Rum Diary. I guess they saw themselves as Bogie and Bacall. Ugh.

    • mmm says:

      I tried to put my message with pictures but failed many times, i guess i remove the pics and send only the message:

      Like you said, seems like “Slim” was the nickname he had for Amber, based on her resemblance to Lauren Bacall

      And Johnny didn’t have 2 but 3 tattoos for Amber, all covered up now. The first he made was around 2013 and it was Amber handwriting with a message that reads “Come with me…” and she signed the message as “Slim”

      The second one is the full body portrait of Amber as pin up girl on his right bicep and he did short before their wedding

      And the third one, is the tattoo now changed from “Slim” to “Scum”. He sported the word “slim” first on both hands at his concert at the Rock in Rio Brazil past year, but it were fake and then he made it permanent on his right hand around November 2015.

      The “Slim” on his knuckles is unexplainable to me. The other two were before their marriage, when they likely were happier and he was hopeful about their future marriage. But the third? if it’s true their relationship was so bad since the beginning of the marriage i don’t get why he did a tattoo not so long ago

      • SusanneToo says:

        Does he have any surface left for a tattoo of his next great love? Silly, silly man.

      • Susie 1of 3 says:

        @mmm Thanks for the links to the pics!

      • bettyrose says:

        Ugh x infinity. Nothing in that picture of Amber looks remotely likely Lauren Bacall except her hair style, which anyone can do with 2 hours in a salon.

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        The relationship was bad off and on. According to Amber he was abusive throughout the relationship. So I think the last tattoo and all of them was because he wanted to convince her of his love for her and that he would change. I’m sure she tried to leave him multiple times and the tattoos just proved his undying love😝😝

      • Twinky says:

        @Susie 1: Thanks for supplying those pics, I’ve never seen those before. And I’m already grossed out by the fact that he altered her photographic image when he had the tatt made by adding stockings and a dangling bra strap. I guess her original pic wasn’t “sexy” enough to sit on his arm? Just ew.

    • Hazel says:

      Slim was the name of Howard Hawks’ wife, which is why the Bacall character has that name. She’s the one who suggested Bacall for the part.

    • SusanneToo says:

      Bogie & Bacall named their son Stephen.

    • A.Key says:

      No offense to Amber, but she looks nothing like Bacall. Man, that woman was a goddess.
      Now I wanna watch old movies again.

  27. Jess says:

    He is such scum and my family will never go to another movie he is in. Ever.

    Ok. I get the scarves, necklaces, and bracelets (not really), but WTH is up with the Queen Elizabeth earrings?!? He is such a caricature of himself.

      IKR? 20 years ago, if you’d asked me who I’d rather: JD or Brad Pitt, there’d be no pause. JD all the way! But Brad now offers a perfect balance of family man and older bad boy, while JD is just ridiculous.

  29. lisa2 says:

    It was ALWAYS Brad for me.. Brad may let his facial hair grow or his hair. But he has never gotten fat and out of shape. NEVER.. He would gain and lose weight for roles; but even when his facial hair is overgrown and hair long.. all he ever had to do was shave/cut his hair in a different way.

    I was just never into Johnny Depp that way. I always thought he was unusual. And the parts he played showed that.

      Sure, but Depp was sooooo pretty. Brad Pitt was the epitome of conventional good looks, but JD was a pretty boy with a dark side (drool!) – 20 years later, it’s a whole different story.

      Getting fat and out of shape is not the problem here.

    He’s looking classier by the day.

    I’m not entirely convinced that everything Heard is saying about Depp is true. His other girlfriends are saying he didn’t do this to them. I would think ONE of them would back up Heard’s stories with tales of their own about abuse. I think everyone except Depp knew that this marriage was going to be for Heard’s benefit, not his. I always got the feeling that she was looking to advance her career……. and when it didn’t happen as epically as she thought it would, the marriage fell apart. Just my opinion. He’s being vilified for something that may not be entirely true.

    • Shockadelica81 says:

      Wow! Just because some of his exes say he didn’t abuse them doesn’t make Heard’s claims untrue! Hell OJ Simpson’s first wife said he didn’t beat her! But he started beating Nicole A YEAR after they met according to her diaries.And she got the role as Quenn Mera in two DC films while with Depp. So why leave when that role is going to be the biggest of her career? And she has texts that have been verified,photos,sworn statements from witnesses and you still don’t believe her? She has nothing to gain from this other than perjury charges and a non-career.

    • silliness says:

      That other women don’t experience abuse from a partner doesn’t mean that dynamic won’t exist in a future relationship. I personally have read of enough stories of Vanessa talking him down from his angry rages to believe that these women are probably not considering his behavior with them as abusive just because it wasn’t fist-to-face. I truly believe he probably behaved abusively while in several of his relationships, and they’re just not accepting it because it didn’t get to the level that it did with Amber.

      And I’m sorry, but the marriage was clearly Johnny’s idea. This is a man that has been engaged FIVE/SIX TIMES that we’re aware of. He is always looking to get married, and he hoodwinked a younger girl into it. He’s been in the middle of a midlife crisis for a long time now, and older men like to marry them young in an effort to control them. He didn’t look for an equal in age and career that he couldn’t control, which is classic abuser behavior. He got himself a wife that would be left in a vulnerable position if she spoke up when she got out.

      Also, Amber Heard was Amber Heard when she met him. Not an A-lister, but a steady working actress with several female lead roles in her resume. If I married someone for a career advancement in Hollywood, I’d know that I’d have to give it a whole heck of a lot longer than 15 months, and I would certainly wait until after my biggest role yet had premiered. There’s plenty of non-A-list actor spouses. Her marrying JD doesn’t mean she was in it for the career advancement. Implying that she was is also implying that every other non-A-list actor spouse married for the status. AND if she did marry him for the career advancement, guess what? That still doesn’t make it okay for him to be an abusive addict d*ckwad.

      • Shockadelica81 says:

        💯💯💯‼️ YES,YES,and YES!! I also believe that he was emotionally,verbally abusive in relationships but those women don’t consider that abuse. Even Winona Ryder said that her first boyfriend used to smash everything when she was 18 and she was engaged to Depp at 18.

        And you’re also right about the midlife crisis. He met a woman way younger than him,swept her off her feet, then the real SCUM showed up. But she was young and in love and he knew she wasn’t going anywhere because she always came back after him begging and saying that he’d change a million times. But she finally said no and dumped him. She’s the first person to say no to him in a long time for sure!

        And people forget that Amber’s biggest role filmed so far was in The Rum Diary as Depp’s love interest in 2009. She was not a big name then and if she was using him for a bigger career then you don’t stay for 15 months in a marriage like you said.She barely even talked about him in interviews.Not good if want attention for your relationship.

        He’s 53 damn years old now and his addiction and abuse is finally catching up to him. He’ll never change and will just find somebody willing to put up with this crap rather than get help.

      • silliness says:

        @Shockadelica81 Yes! In fact, I believe the term Winona called it was “dramatic.” That “everything was so dramatic…”

        There’s a lot of misconception about what domestic violence is, and I think it really hurts people that are suffering under that thumb that don’t know how to recognize it. The explosiveness in his relationship with Kate Moss is documented and was clearly domestic violence, as was the “dramatic” antics Winona casually mentioned to Natalie Portman, and as was the angry rages Vanessa was reportedly so often talking him down from.

        I also agree with you about how he’s just never going to change. Especially because he has so many paid enablers on his payroll. So many abusers are manipulative and know damn well how to play the victim card with those around them. He’s the one in the position of power between the two, which makes it easier to divvy up the “picking sides” and “support” among their mutual friends, leaving her in the dust and fending for herself practically on her own.

    • joanne says:

      Amber doesn’t have to convince you just the court. she has the proof to back up her claims that johnny abused her. you’ll believe that she has some motive to marry him which changes nothing about the abuse, but you don’t believe actual evidence.
      even it johnny never hit anyone before, he has a history of angry behaviour and has been charged for it. why wouldn’t you believe Amber?

  32. K.C. says:

    I’m ashamed I ever respected this man or found him attractive. It’s a shame, because he was once a truly unique, great actor who chose to fight against Hollywood and stand out from the crowd. How far he has fallen. Now when I look at him, I only feel disgust, and so, so sad for Amber.

    I do admit that there are some instances in which women lie about abuse, but it is VERY rare. Especially when one considers all Amber could lose in this—compared to Johnny, she’s a nobody. She’s going up against Hollywood’s elite, someone who could pay to make her look like a fool, and she’s doing it anyway. Combine that with the fact that it’s obvious he has lost himself to drugs and alcohol, and I believe her 100%.

    • Flowerchild says:

      When did Johnny fight against Hollywood ? This is the same man who stuck up for Roman Polanski, he has been so far into Hollywood he can’t even see straight.

      • K.C. says:

        I only meant when he was young, he could’ve taken the traditional leading man/heartthrob route and instead did a lot of odd/offbeat roles that downplayed his looks.

  33. Veronica says:

    Vindictive, sure, but he’s the dipshit walking around with a tattoo of “SCUM” written on him, so I don’t feel Amber lost this round.

  34. Shockadelica81 says:

    He’s a typical abuser/addict who’s pissed because he got dumped,then exposed! He’s still living in a drug/booze/denial stupor and clearly doesn’t think he needs help. He’s too busy on tour while letting his family/friends/enablers believe that his evil,golddigging,blackmailing wife set him up along with her witnesses. I’m a fan but soon to be ex fan. I’d still be a fan if actually admitted that he needed help and apologized.That won’t happen anytime soon though.I feel sorry for Amber and hope that she’s getting help.But his tattoos are telling us exactly who he is. A ‘Wino Forever’ and ‘SCUM’

  35. Meadow says:

    I can’t tell the difference between Johnny Depp and Charlie Sheen anymore.

    • Justjj says:

      Ikr? He’s like one midi ring away from losing his shiznit completely and being all “Winner, winner, DEPP dinner, my friends.” Seriously. Existential crisis/nervous breakdown in 5…4…3…

  36. Cheyenne says:

    Boo hoo he doesn’t have his beautiful, young trophy under his control anymore. He is so pathetic. Stop tattooing references to women on your body. Sober up. Never get involved with a bad drunk, people. By bad drunk, I mean the types that turn into violent scumbags and then later claim they blacked out and didn’t remember, but still continue to drink knowing they get like that.

  37. nicegirl says:

    At least now he is labelled – – hopefully gals will read his knuckle tattoo and peace out.

    He is scum

  38. Miss poodle says:

    I don’t aprove his behaviore towards Amber Heard, but I kind of understand the changing of his tattoos anyway, as the tattoos were, they symbolized someting that now is SO over, and if my tattoos were that closely linked to someone that I not had that connection with anymore, AND I had the money to change them, I would have done that
