Problems with drugs and alcohol and the allegations of domestic violence that are aired in a trial with his ex Amber Heard plagued the artist's image with shadows
Johnny Depp has had an extensive acting career, however, this rise to
fame has also been accompanied by great controversies that could jeopardize
his permanence as one of the most important artists in the Hollywood
industry.
Thus, although this has been a factor in his
personality that has made him use thousands of fans around the world, it has
also served as an element that has made him the target of multiple
controversies.
Therefore, below we make a recount of the three
biggest scandals in which he has been involved.
I wreck a fancy hotel room
It was in the 90s when Kate Moss met Johnny Depp, they met at the
Taba bar. According to the records that exist, George Wayne, a journalist
from Vanity Fair, would have been in charge of presenting the two
artists.
It is said that Wayne saw Kate enter next to Naomi
Campbell herself and, as Johnny was at a table in the back with his friends,
making a meeting between the two was the most natural thing that seemed to
the journalist.
Months later the couple would announce their courtship during a charity gala, but something that began to attract the attention of the world was the type of relationship that the lovers had.
The journalist Maureen Callahan described in her book Champagne
Supernova that both Kate and Johnny lived their love between parties,
alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and s*x.
But without a doubt one of
the most controversial moments happened in one of the rooms of the New York
hotel The Markse where in September 1994 Depp and Moss destroyed the room
where they were staying.
Later the police arrived at the hotel and the photo of Johnny Depp being arrested while he was wearing glasses and a knit hat quickly went viral. Rumors soon arose and it was said that even the interpreter of Edward Scissorhands had assaulted Kate.
Drunk at an award ceremony
By 2014, Johnny Depp was in the headlines again, as during the Hollywood Fulm Awards the actor took the stage to present the Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon documentary award.
But the attention was not taken by the winning film, because the artist who
played Jack Sparrow fully captured the moment by appearing misaligned,
wobbly and unable to speak properly.
Giving a speech that
was inaudible at times, the protagonist of The Lone Ranger also launched
some swear words that made the television network that broadcast the event
decide to censor it.
The explosive trial against Amber Heard
One of the most recent controversies in the life of Johnny Depp was due to the public complaint made by his ex-partner Amber Heard a few years ago by accusing him of domestic violence.
The also actress accused him in a Washington Post column and, after the publication in the newspaper, Depp, who denied having hit her, filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard and claimed 50 million dollars in damages. She, in turn, filed a defamation lawsuit in which she asked for $100 million.
The first session of the trial is expected to last six weeks and is televised, it began last Tuesday with the presence of Depp and Heard.Amber's lawyers have argued that the accusations she
refers to in the article are completely true and that she also has the right
to express what she experienced when she was in a relationship with the
actor.
While those of Deep allege that the false accusations of
domestic violence that Heard had a "devastating" effect on the movie star's
career.
