Johnny Depp claims that Amber Heard wants to extend her ’15 minutes of fame’

wenn30003252

Much like the Brangelina mess, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard spent the days before the holidays taking shots at each other in the press and through the court system. Depp still hasn’t paid out on Amber’s $7 million divorce settlement – he’s only written a check for $200K, to one of the charities which Amber had pledged money to. We heard that Depp was going to pay the rest of the money to Amber in installments throughout the next year, but Depp is still trying to wriggle out of paying by claiming that Amber has already violated their non-disclosure agreement. Amber and her legal team have responded by filing a Request for Order, which is basically a legal tactic to get the court to force Depp to hold up his end of their divorce settlement agreement. Depp in turn responded with a plea to the court to force Amber to pay his legal fees, which are apparently climbing up towards the $1 million mark. This is the latest, from TMZ (Depp’s preferred outlet to break his side of things):

Johnny Depp is scoffing at Amber Heard’s attempt to get more from him than they agreed in their divorce settlement, and he’s telling the judge she just wants to stay relevant and sway public opinion. Johnny filed legal docs saying a deal is a deal, and they already agreed on the $7 million settlement months ago. Amber recently filed legal docs asking for more, but Johnny says that ship has sailed.

Johnny’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, says Amber’s move is “a blatant attempt to extend her fifteen minutes of fame” and “an embarrassing grab for additional and unwarranted attorney’s fees.” Amber is also asking to reopen the $7 million settlement.

[From TMZ]

While I don’t know this for sure, my theory is that the whole “Amber wants more money from Johnny” thing is that Amber wants Johnny to pay the $7 million TO HER, per their agreement, as opposed to Johnny passively-aggressively donating the money to charity on her behalf. Amber’s argument is that if Depp donates the money, he gets the tax benefit. My argument is that a deal is a deal – Depp needs to pay Amber the $7 million and stop f—king around and trying to play these stupid games. As for the rest of it… typical scarf monster BS. Johnny is so petty. JUST PAY YOUR EX-WIFE, for the love of God.

    But he’s the one extending all this by not meeting the terms of the agreement. If he had paid up when he was supposed to, no one would even be talking about her anymore.

    • Megan says:

      Exactly. Depp is pathetic.

    • AnnaKist says:

      He’s a creep, inside and out. He needs to shut the farque up, and pay the farque up.

      • Elizabeth says:

        he is! I cant stand him!!!! he is a scum bag douche

      • Rose says:

        And she is an untalented waste of space. Wait until she marries the next dupe…he won’t be poor.

      • Otaku Fairy says:

        @Rose: She’s in Hollywood, not poor herself, and most of the people she’s exposed to on a regular basis are going to be people with some money and/or fame. So her not dating or marrying someone who happens to be poor wouldn’t automatically prove her to be that golddigger ‘duping’ poor naïve menz into relationships that you’re committed to seeing her as. (And I bet his next won’t be over 50 AND devoid of plastic surgery AND a size 14. Why? Because he’s a Hollywood star, and most Hollywood women don’t fit all 3 of those categories at once). The fact that the thought of her being untalented and not dating men who have less than her bothers you more than his abusive behavior, his substance abuse problem, and the excuses made for him is more of a reflection on you as a woman than it is on her.

      • BrooklynTam says:

        Oh @Rose go kiss Scarf-Douche’s as some more! Nobody made him marry her and then abuse her.He owes her money+her personal property period.She has her own money and never needed hi which is why she’s given his money away.

      • Mooni says:

        @BrooklynTam I guess that’s why she originally asked for his Range Rover, $50,000-a-month support, $125,000 toward legal fees and possession of the combined three-unit penthouse in downtown LA.

  2. cathy says:

    This is PERSONAL for him. He cannot let her go. As long as he draws this out she’s still “thinking” about him. The man is petty and I think a little unstable. If he paid her in August like he agreed this would not even be a story. He’s accusing her of dragging this out.

    • Char says:

      I think this is spot on. Him dragging it out makes her still “involved” with him & makes him still feel in control of her. I can’t believe his lawyers aren’t telling him to just shut up & pay. Of course they might be & he’s just refusing to listen, but they are also still making money off him this way.

      • polonoscopy says:

        I totally agree. This is classic, abusive behaviour. He can’t stand the idea of not controlling her.

    • marthe says:

      “this is personal for him…… he cannot let her go….”……with $ 7 million/4 years with him

    • Lahdidahbaby says:

      I agree. But I also think he’s got money probs he’d rather not admit to — he’s spread very thin with his island to maintain plus the money he paid in his divorce settlement.

      Take off the scarves and trinkets and the shades, and jyou’d just see an aging real estate salesman with a drinking problem.

    • ronaldinhio says:

      Further evidence of a pattern of denigrating and abusive behaviours in my opinion
      Heard is well to have survived her marriage to Depp and sometimes leaving with your life is good enough
      I refuse to watch anything with him in from now on

      • BrooklynTam says:

        👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Does he not realize that his behavior proves what an abusive coward he is?! The leeches in his life are to scared to say anything truthfully because they’ll be cut of from their rich and famous pal.

  3. SilverUnicorn says:

    He is now downright pathetic. He is also confirming with his own behaviour that he is following the abuser 101 workbook, if anyone was in doubt before… he ticks all the boxes.
    I hope Amber Heard will be safe.

    • TheOtherOne says:

      Agreed. This is heading towards stalker behavior. I hope she stays physically safe.

    • BrooklynTam says:

      I hope she’s safe too and I worry about her safety because of that abusive,coked up,Scarf-Douche,his leeches,and crazy ass fans. He’s displaying all of the typical abusers behavior by dragging this out to make her pay for dumping and exposing him.An angry,dumped,abuser is an even more dangerous one

  4. Ruth says:

    I’ll wait till the 13th to make up my mind about this. It’s getting complicated and no one has offered an actual copy of the last 4 filings so that we can clearly see what’s going on. Each site offers what they want to, depending on whether they are pro Depp or pro Heard and it has turned into a mess. We do have Wasser calling her a liar though, so I expect things are going to blow up in court.

    • Jellybean says:

      Yes, something is going on here. When Amber filed I thought Depp was just being pathetically petty, but there could be more to it; Wasser has been most emphatic. I guess we will find out.

      • Ruth says:

        I just don’t like making assumptions without knowing enough facts.I think it’s pointless and juvenile.Something is going on here and I think it’s more than ”Depp being petty”.What I found particularly interesting is that while Wasser called her allegations false,her lawyer came up with an irrelevant response and didn’t even address it.There’s more to this story than most people believe and fortunately this court will actually happen.

  5. Zapp Brannigan says:

    It is not petty, it is textbook controlling, abusive behavior. He is still trying to demean and control her.

  6. ugh says:

    All of this proves it was ALL ABOUT THE MONEY for her. Who makes a freaking issue who donates the money to charities? Surely not a woman who claimed that it was never about the $$$….oh no… Amber would never donate that money to charity. She’s got a $10 million lawsuit against her.

    • Tanguerita says:

      trolls gotta troll.

    • Jess says:

      Johnny, is that you?

    • Yellowrocket says:

      Hello Johnny Depp PR Team Member,

      Your tactics aren’t working and your client looks like an even bigger douche every time he sends you out.

      Sincerely,

      Everyone With a Brain

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      I’ll take one for the team.

      1. He signed a legal agreement and then did not do what he agreed in writing to do.
      2. He has not given the money to the charities.
      3. IF he did give the charities the money…and he has not…he gets to claim that donation as a very large tax deduction, which is unfair to her.

      Their signed agreement clearly acknowledged marital misbehavior on his part.

      He’s stalling, controlling and petty.

      • cathy says:

        He wants to continue the “gold digger” theme for as long as he can. All his imaginary girlfriends continue with this story.

    • SilverUnicorn says:

      All of this proves it was ALL ABOUT THE ABUSE.

      Genuinely, your comment is a trollish failure….

      • Ramona says:

        Exactly. His behavior is Abuse101. An innocent party would have paid that divorce settlement and moved on asap.

    • anna says:

      ignore this comment, others said it better already

    • paranormalgirl says:

      I can’t with people STILL trying to push the Depp narrative. Just stop embarrassing yourself.

    • AnnaKist says:

      Loud applause for The Ladies! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    • Becky says:

      It’s an issue when the person legally obliged to pay out is trying to get a tax concession, that’s the point.

    • Lalu says:

      It’s her money! She was awarded the settlement in court. If she wants to donate it or set it on fire, it’s not his business.
      I loved Johnny Depp… But a person has to be blind to not see… He is still bullying and trying to control, even now.
      He didn’t have to marry her. That was his choice. And this is how it works. He is wrong. You can give him the benefit of the doubt about all kinds of things in this situation but you can’t deny that he is bullying her now.

    • tealily says:

      Dude, HE’S the one who isn’t paying it. And she was awarded this money in the settlement without any stipulation of what she could do with it. She doesn’t have to donate it to charity. But he does have to give it to her.

    • BrooklynTam says:

      @ugh she’s already given 350,000 of her own money to one of these charities in August so nice try. The rest of the money will go to the charities once she gets it from that coward,abusive ex of hers.

  7. Matador says:

    Typical abusive behavior by a partner furious that the object of his abuse walked out on him.

  8. Who ARE these people? says:

    Is he stalling as well because he doesn’t have the money?

    • SarahB says:

      He makes 60 million a year, he made 30 million the year they were married. He wants this to go to court so he can show his evidence.

  9. HK9 says:

    Just.pay.her.

  10. Lingling says:

    I can’t watch anything with him in it now. It’s just too disgusting

    • SilverUnicorn says:

      Same. I became beyond disgusted with him in any form.

    • detritus says:

      I really really wanted to see Strange Beasts, but now I feel I can’t. I can’t look at his grossness.
      Maybe if there was an app where that made Depp into a kitten in all movies? Like the web app that replaces Trump pictures with kittens, but for movie watching.

      • Konspiracytheory says:

        I had no idea he was in Strange Beasts until he popped up on screen (then I was pissed, lol – seeing him completely pulled me out of the movie, which was quite good).

      • Erinn says:

        I watched a crappy cam version of the movie. I had forgotten that he was going to be in the first one, even if it was a small part. My husband was even like “oh gross.” when he saw him. He can’t comprehend the casting. I liked Depp during the early “pirates” years, but even in those he started going down hill really quickly. He’s not a healthy looking man, and I guess it reflects his character as well.

        He’s a bit actor at this point. “Look at me, I’m drunk and/or different than the other people in this movie! I’m so deep and interesting, and quirky! Tim Burton loves me, why can’t you all love meeee”.

        I wish this invention was a real thing. Honestly, I’d probably end up replacing most people with kittens because it’d be hilarious.

      • Lady D says:

        I read an article about Robin Williams wanting badly to be in Harry Potter movies. They turned him down because he wasn’t English, they said. Isn’t Depp American too?

      • detritus says:

        Lady D.
        OMG.
        Are you kidding me? I cried at the Carrie post again, and this is making me tear up too.
        JK how could you do that to Robin? He would have been so excellent. He is still the celebrity I miss the most.

      • M.A.F. says:

        @Lady D- for the original movies based on the books they were quite clear that only British actors would be in it. Fantastic Beasts isn’t based on the books so the casting is open.

        And it’s Fantastic Beasts people, not Strange Beasts. Ha!

      • Konspiracytheory says:

        Too funny, M.A.F. – I guess I wasn’t fully awake when I posted because I continued it!

      • Lady D says:

        Robin wanted to play the part of Hagrid in the movies.

      • Clare says:

        guys – I know it makes everyone sad that Robin Williams didn’t get the part of Hagrid, but really this is a bit unfair, given the role was played by a beloved (and fantastic) British actor. No one ‘did’ anything to Robin – it’s not like he was passed up for, I don’t know, Zach Efron, yknow?

    • tealily says:

      Same. And he was in some of my old favorites. I haven’t been able to watch them since this all went down, it’s so disgusting.

    • Katherine says:

      Same.

  11. Digital Unicorn (aKa Betti) says:

    The scary thing is that he was always obsessed with her. He chased after her for a while before she got swept up in it all. He chased her when still with Vanessa. He’s a crazy, abusive druggie who needs to crash and burn already but sadly HW will enable him. Shame on JK Rowling for allowing him to pollute the magical Harry Potter world.

    He and his stans forget she had a career and was semi famous before they got together.

    • M.A.F. says:

      Yeah, it’s a shame he was cast in new Harry Potter spin off. I probably won’t see any more of those movies if he is in them.

    • pato says:

      I was going to say exactly that. Not that I am a fan of this new stories, but JK should have said no to his casting.
      He´s pathetic.

    • Mooni says:

      “He chased her when still with Vanessa.”

      Where’s the proof? If that were the case why would Vanessa defend him against her claims.

      “but sadly HW will enable him.”

      Could it be because they actually know him and he’s not this villain you want to believe he is..

      @pato JK cast him herself and said she’s delighted to work with him.

  12. SGWarne says:

    I’m going to go with: “He has no actual money that isn’t tied up to pay her, and doesn’t want to be embarassed publicly about it” for $300 Alex. 😐

    • Mia4S says:

      Annnd I would guess you are correct. I guess running that private island is not as easy as we think! 🙄

      It would also explain the scramble to another franchise (I was done with Fantastic Beasts once he showed up, not a good enough movie for me to overlook that).

      He’s showing some scary physical signs of his substance abuse. I don’t see him coming to a good end.

    • cathy says:

      If he didn’t have the cash he could certainly obtain a loan very easily with his assets and earning potential. I don’t think this is the real problem.

  13. Sage says:

    Wasser strikes again with what will the public think. But she is just doing more public damage to her client.
    Johnny needs to pay her the agreed settlement and move on.

  14. tracking says:

    +1

  15. Clare says:

    I do think she was playing with fire, doing that PSA though. Did she really think she could sign an agreement not to talk about their relationship and then do a pretty obvious PSA and that the scarf monster wouldn’t come after her?

    I mean, maybe the ensuing grief was worth it to her, to get the message out, I don’t know. But, I’m not surprised that he reacted to the PSA this way. Either she is extraordinarily naive or tenacious (which is not a bad thing). If it the former, her legal team needs to do better.

    • Who ARE These People? says:

      Or maybe she was tired of hiding a terrible secret and wanted to do something meaningful with her terrible experience and help other victims of abuse.

      He wouldn’t like anything she did, so she might as well do what she wants to do. Her decisions don’t need to be made with him in mind any more.

      • Ruth says:

        The problem I think Depp’s team has is that she talked about her experience as a victim,how she went through it in the public arena etc.She agreed to settle which means no more talking about her case.She can help DV victims without mentioning her own alleged abuse.That’s the price you pay when you settle,like it or not.

      • Clare says:

        Terrible? Absolutely. Secret? Not so much – not after all the mudslinging that went on before/during their divorce.

        I’m not saying she shouldn’t have done the PSA – what I’m saying is I’m surprised she/her legal team would exposed her to what is an OBVIOUS legal challenge. I agree that he wouldn’t like anything she did, but in this instance she gave him ammunition with which to attack her and challenge their settlement. As noble and justified her reasons may be, she signed an agreement and then sort of reneged on it – so why now are we surprised that her ex-husband, who by all accounts is a petty POS, is using it as an excuse to renege, too?

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        But she didn’t mention her own abuse or her abuser. She talked about this in a general sense, as best as I can recall.

    • LP says:

      I’m positive that their agreement referred to her not naming him specifically, which she didn’t. It probably hurt Depp’s fee-fees, but that PSA wasn’t against their agreement and she wasn’t naive to do it. Your argument is honestly verging towards “she asked for it”….

  16. Giddy says:

    First he abused her physically, emotionally, and verbally; now he abuses her by dragging this out and making her go after the money he owes. He is an abusive scarf laden jerk and looks like he smells bad. In fact, I have it on good authority that Johnny’s breath killed off the dinosaurs. (-;

    • meme says:

      And he knows she isn’t rich and he’s making her to incur in more expenses due to the legal costs of her divorce. That’s part abuse too

      PS: LOL to his breath killing dinosaurs

  17. meme says:

    E! News has Amber’s response to Johnny request for the 100k and looks like she requested him to pay her legal fees now in response (take that Johnny!), because he’s the one dragging it
    She claims Johnny’s dragging this to punish her and hasn’t returned her personal property nor allowed her to collect it, etc.
    Also that she want the divorce right now, because she wants her life back

    • Ruth says:

      Given that she lived in the DTLA residence till late August,it’s strange that she didn’t take her stuff.Also I think that the reason the divorce is stalled is the PSA on Nov 25th,one day before the supposed divorce finalizing.Depp claimed breach and things exploded-again.At this point both are acting like little kids.Amber should have waited before doing PSAs and he should cooperate with some things.But,nonetheless,neither behaves properly and mature.

      • silliness says:

        The DTLA residence wasn’t their only residence. She is asking for her things in their Bahamas home, the WH home. Plus they also need to divide some furnishings, and him signing over the title to her car. All things he has no business hanging on to and that he’d agreed to do. They agreed in August and it’s now January. Why is he stalling?

    • Clare says:

      He is at utter POS, but as I said above, how can anyone be surprised that he would use that PSA agaisnt her? I mean, he is a documented petty tw*t, what did we expect, when she toed the line of their settlement?

      I mean, I feel sad for her that this shitshow is dragging on, but she and her legal team have made some serious miscalculations.

  18. Jayna says:

    He looks so gross in that photo.

  19. Katherine says:

    Well, I’ve known her for years before Depp so I don’t know about those 15 minutes, pal. Ruining what was left of her career is more like it. From where I stand, it always looked like her brand went downhill when she got with Depp

  20. M.A.F. says:

    I used to have a big crush on him. Loved most of his movies. Now? I won’t see a movie he is in. I hope the movies tank.

    If he is hard up on money, he has an island he can sell.

  21. MC2 says:

    The biggest thing that I have learned from this Amber/Depp fiasco is that TMZ is a misogynistic pos . The way they spun this story made me look and they are really gross. 42% of their readership is male so they try to pander to that but that doesn’t mean that they need to support abuse towards women which is what the do. They water down language & support the idea that women lie about abuse all the time.
    TMZ’s readership is 58% female and I hope they wake up and quit clicking. I did.

    • cathy says:

      agreed – I won’t go there anymore. The way they spin things is unbelievable.

    • BrooklynTam says:

      Yep and they never reported that two weeks ago she took him to court because he still hasn’t paid! They didn’t even report that fact that he’s asking for 100,00 in fees from her. Yesterday Harvey Levin actually falsely stated that Amber was going to give the 7mil to charity throughout her life but a cohost corrected him and told him that it’ll be by the end of the year. Harvey is still up Wasser’s ass!

  22. Veronica says:

    Not surprising to anyone familiar with the psychology of an abuser. This is pretty much textbook behavior.

  23. BrooklynTam says:

    First Wasser said that Amber was faking abuse for money that she was already legally entitled to) but that didn’t work. Now she just wants 15 minutes of fame?! Hey Wasser! YOUR CLIENT HASN’T FULFILLED HIS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT FOR MONTHS! Now if she just wants fame then why is Scarf-Boy dragging this on which is helping get that attention that she wants according to him?! And btw if she was this evil bitch that set him up and blackmailed him,you’d think that he’d want to get rid of her asap right?

  24. YepIsaidit says:

    Is this “typical abusive behavior” or does he just not have the $ like Lainey gossip claims.

    I believe Amber was abused by the creep but I think he’s stalling because he’s having money issues.

    • BrooklynTam says:

      Could be but why hasn’t he givenn her personal items back to her? I’m guessing he’s destroyed them all or he’s just an abusive angry little man who got dumped and is stalling to punish her

  25. Marlene says:

    Please enlighten me. If Depp is supposed to pay Amber Heard $7M per the settlement, then he can donate whatever amount of money to those charities… but he still owes her $7M, right?

    • silliness says:

      No, he can’t. Because it is no longer his money; it’s hers. The agreement was for him to pay her. It’s up to her what she wants to do with that money. She decided to donate it and announced she’d be doing just that. It’s not up to him to donate it for her.

      Say for example someone owes you money, and you say, “I need to pay my rent and a credit card”. That person has to pay you. It’s not up to them to pay that rent and credit card. The agreement was that they’d pay you. And now that person gets to make that deduction in their taxes and not you? Erm, no.

      Now if he wants to donate money to any charity of his choice as he’s done many times in the past, then great, that’s on him. But he can’t donate money he has to pay her.

    • Lex says:

      You are correct Marlene. He can donate all the money he wants to charity, but at the end of the day he still owes the 7MIL directly to Amber. He cannot donate on her behalf, as that is not the agreement. Nor should it be, for tax purposes.

  26. silliness says:

    He agreed to pay HER $7mil and among other things, divide certain furnishings between them, sign the title of the car over to her, return her personal belongings from their Bahamas home, and allow her into their other homes to retrieve other personal belongings.

    What he did instead was NOT send her things from their Bahamas home even though he’d recently been there, never signed the car title over, hasn’t let her into any property to collect the remainder of her things, nor met with her or sent a representative to meet with her to divide furnishings as they had agreed. AND to add insult to injury, the money he was supposed to give her, he decides to send directly to the charities she’d announced she’d be donating the money to as a means to gain the upper hand in a situation he had no business getting involved in any longer.

    The woman just wants her divorce to be finalized, get her things that are her personal belongings back, and be done with his sweaty, drunk and drugged ass. I get the money is supposed to come in installments, but he isn’t even doing that. Just effing comply already, Johnny!

  27. K2 says:

    It’s so sad, when you grow up to know that not only is your childhood hero no hero, but he’s an addled, abusive, controlling, substance-abusing POS.

  28. sage says:

    His friends, enablers, lawyer, they’re all giving him poor advice. I don’t thing it is just him being the controlling jerk. He’s being encouraged by the people around him to ‘hurt” her. Wasser’s attacks on Heard (and Pitt) seem very personal. A win at all cost attitude.

    • BrooklynTam says:

      👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 She’s just as pathetic as the losers she represents.

  29. Rebecca says:

    How is she trying to get “15 minutes of fame”? This makes no sense. She is already a famous actor.

    I really want him to shut up and go away forever.

  30. JusticeForJohnny says:

    I think a lot of commentators on this site are 1) So far up Amber’s ass they can’t see she’s lying. 2) Are being paid by Amber/her team and trying to fix up her pathetic image 3) are just blind to the truth. Thank God this site isn’t the norm and sensibile people who were actually abused realize that Amber is lying. Stop trying to crucify JD, you are all doing so wi9hout facts. You’re all doing what you want to and ignoring the truth. Also, Rowling has defended Johnny and is HERSELF a victim of abuse. Paul Bettany has defended him. So have many others. He is in no way obsessed w/Amber. She is the one who manipulated herself into his life, she cut his friends off from him and fakes interests to match his. When will y’alls stop being fake feminists? Don’t side with the woman every time because – guess what- Amber sets dv back 50 years BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A VICTIM, SHE IS THE ABUSER.

    • BrooklynTam says:

      @JusticeForJohnny😂😂😂 Where do I start? She lying huh? But what about that joint statement that read in part that there was “No intent of physical or emotional harm” and that there were no false allegations made.That’s an innocent man right? And I was a fan of his as a woman but I believe Amber not because she’s a woman. I could be just like you and immediately keep kissing his ass but I’m just not a blind stalker like you! And what innocent person allows themselves to be framed for months while doing nothing about it? If she’s lying let her go to court and lie under oath instead of settling right before trial.

      Amber had verified proof while Scarf-Pirate had his leeches defending him.

      Instead of Scarf-Boy defending himself he let his leeches and fans like you defend him. He’s never once said that he was innocent! And the people who defend him are HIS PEOPLE so of course they think he’s the greatest thing ever.And JK Rowling should be ashamed but the contract is signed and it’s all about box office cash even though he’s a bomb waiting to happen in every way.

      This scum is an abusive,drunken,coked up wife-beater who needs help fast! To bad for fans like you can’t see that but a former fan like me did!

      And oh yeah he still hasn’t paid her the settlement money/given her personal items back after months.Again that sure sounds like an innocent man!😆😆
