Johnny Depp

Recommended Posts

It's a bit crap of TMZ to try to pick hairs on the "false statements" part and gloss over the "intent to harm" bit - why not point out that just because there was no intent, doesn't mean there wasn't actual harm? Oh, right, because they would mean them going against the movie star.

. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity." She does not specify what percentage and which charity.

 

Not to put too fine a spin on this but . .. ahembulshitahem.

I think we can safely say that these two people are terrible individuals (although just because they are terrible people does not in any way justify any violence they inflicted on each other).

I'm guessing - since TMZ has been Team Johnny all the way - they're "reporting" that to guilt her into doing it?

 

Why should she give away the entire amount? She needs money to live on.....

Yes, but according to her press when this whole thing started she was a successful actress and didn't need his money. :rolleyes:

I'm so suspicious of these two, I actually think he gave her more than $7M, but for PR they both agreed to keep that part quiet and just talk about the donation.

TMZ

 

Amber Heard has just fired back at Johnny Depp, saying if he really cares about donating Amber's divorce settlement he'll ante up $14 million, not $7 mil ... and in fact she's insisting on that.

Amber's team tells TMZ, Johnny is not being up-front about his latest move ... giving Children's Hospital of L.A. and the ACLU the $7 million earmarked for Amber.

Amber said last week she would donate the settlement money to the 2 charities, but her people tell us if Johnny sends the money directly to the 2 organizations he's not really paying $7 mil, because he gets a charitable tax deduction.

And we're told Amber's position is that the money is not Johnny's to give away.

Amber's people tell TMZ, "If Johnny wishes to change the settlement agreement, we must insist that he honor the full amount by donating $14M to charity, which after accounting for his tax deduction, is equal to his $7M payment obligation to Amber."

The team goes on ... "We would also insist that the full amount be paid immediately and not drawn out over many years."

They blast Johnny's team, saying, "Anything less would be a transparent attempt by Johnny's counsel, Laura Wasser and Patti Glaser, to reduce their client's true payment by half under the guise of newfound concern for charities that he has never previously supported."

Contrary to that ... Johnny's team tells us he was honored by the Children's Hospital of L.A. in 2006 for his work with children worldwide.

Absolute bullshit.

 

I agree its a ploy by her attorneys.

 

Whether or not she donates the money is her decision. This is her way of getting out of following through on what was probably an impulse statement.

 

Johnny's only obligation under the settlement agreement is to write the check to Amber Heard if there were no provisions for the payment of attorney's fees, etc. that's on her attorneys.

 

Also, her attorneys are in no position to call this bluff (1) they have no idea what Johnnny's tax obligations will be the following tax year or whether or not it will be able to claim the entire donation; and (2) if I were Johnny's attorneys, I would call the bluff and renege out of the settlement and Ms. Heard can proceed to testify to whatever she is alleging in front of a court of law and subject to cross examination.

 

This may all be moot, inasmuch as the attorneys are indicating that "If" Johnny were to write the checks directly to the charities. If I were I him, I would send a certified check directly to Ms. Heard in care of her attorneys and let them worry about the fact that they probably did not explain to her the tax ramifications of such a settlement and did not cut her off at the pass before she opened her mouth to the press in the first place.

 

Also, I sure hope she does not plan on trying to work in this town again. Johnny may be a drunk and/or an abuser but he, no doubt, has pull.

^ interesting that you think it's a ploy by Heard because I was thinking that Depp donating the money directly was done to still have control over the money - he's writing the check and forcing her hand, in a petty way.

 

No doubt the truth is somewhere in the middle!

3 sides to every story - his, hers & the truth. :-) And they're both assholes, as I think we've agreed.

 

Seeing gossip that Elon Musk has been interested in Amber for a while now - there was some gossip recently they hooked up (or at least had dinner ;-) in Miami. I thought he was still married (asked for divorce, then stopped proceedings?) Ah, celebs. They're NOT just like us. They're assholes with too much money.

I was reading an interview with Elon Musk's ex wife Tallulah Riley recently, she's got a novel out. They're divorced for the second time I think, although in the interview she didn't rule out them having a third go around!

I don't think she is forcing his hand -- I think the attorneys are. I think its a ploy by them to up the ante. He can't force her hand unless she lets him. It may a control thing, but she did say she would donating the money and perhaps by writing the check directly to them, he is forcing her hand.

 

I agree the truth is somewhere in the middle. I also agree with Hoyaheel below when she says they are assholes with too much money. :)

 

 

I could stand to be an asshole for a day. :)

Amber Heard hasn't given any money to charity following her divorce from Johnny Depp, but there's good reason why: their divorce hasn't been finalized yet.

When the couple reached their agreement in August, the actress had promised to donate the $7 million she earns from the divorce entirely to charity. She said she planned to split the money between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, as well as the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.

However, her attorney Pierce O'Donnell, tells E! News she hasn't been able to donate the funds yet as the divorce documents haven't been signed.

So it's just come out that Johnny Depp can't remember lines and hires a sound engineer to feed lines to him in an earpiece.

 

When asked about it, Jessica Chastain could not contain her shade. My favorite line from Lainey's reporting: Shade Level: Winter Solstice :-)

There was a tape of Amber Heard admitting to abusing Johnny Depp. Apparently there are more tapes coming.

It sounds like they were in a toxic relationship (duh!) and they both were physical at times. I think one of Heard’s ex girlfriends has come out and said Heard abused her as well.
