Johnny Depp reflects on Amber Heard’s defamation trial

Johnny Depp recently broke silence on his infamous trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, 62-year-old actor revealed how he felt like a "crash test dummy" for the MeToo movement when his former wife accused him of domestic abuse.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory star also claimed that certain unnamed people from his inner circle did him "dirty" by not standing up for him during his legal battle.

"As weird as I am, certain things can be trusted," he told the publication.

Depp added, "And my loyalty is the last thing anybody could question. I was with one agent for 30 years, but she spoke in court about how difficult I was."

"That’s death by confetti, these fake mother****** who lie to you, celebrate you, say all sorts of horror behind your back, yet keep the money — that confetti machine going — because what do they want? Dough."

"I’ll tell you what hurts. There are people, and I’m thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids’ parties," the Pirates of the Caribbean actor noted.

"And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice. I was pre-MeToo," he further mentioned.

Towards the end, Depp expressed his disappointment with those who didn't stand up for him, saying, "I wanted from the hundreds of people I’ve met in that industry to see who was playing it safe. Better go woke!"

To note, the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard took place in April 2022.
