Johnny Depp Is Being Blackmailed by Amber Heard – Here’s How I Know (Guest Column) - Doug Stanhope

InvaderDem · 2016-05-30T10:52:15+00:00

It's not coincidental that he was accused of domestic violence after her support was rejected.

You either say this to get the truth out or get what you want. And if you're doing it to get the news out there, you bring out this accusation from the beginning.

But instead, it was originally "divorce requesting spousal support."

The timing on this isn't coincidental.

Edit: I'll also point out she did this at one of the worst times to do it, after the death of a parent. Now, if Depp has legitimately attacked Heard, there's no reason to wait to get away from him; but if this is a false accusation, making the decision to do this after a family travesty occurred is just poor taste.

David733 · 2016-05-30T10:37:51+00:00

Coming from a guy like Stanhope I believe it. The one entertainer I am familiar with that wouldn't sell out just to have a celebrity kiss his ass, or further his own career.

EgoandDesire · 2016-05-30T08:36:54+00:00

The other news stories are of an ex and his own daughter saying its bullshit as well.

I wonder if its proven to be a lie, can Heard be arrested for attempted extortion or something?

mcantrell · 2016-05-30T15:38:41+00:00

Just a reminder: California is a No Fault + DV Reparations State.

That means you split the assets 50/50. UNLESS the Judge believes there was Domestic Violence. Then the judge can adjust this to 100/0.

In other words, by faking Domestic Violence, she can literally take everything Johnny Depp owns. And given that she was smirking as she left court after filing for divorce, as well as the multiple reports that Johnny Depp knew she was going to try something, it's likely exactly what she is doing.

Christopher Titus had an amazing take on this on his Love is Evol set, discussing how his wife tried the same thing with him. Can't find a link unfortunately.

TheXanderp · 2016-05-30T12:57:20+00:00

I guessed as much, no normal person would file for divorce 2 days after their partner's mother had died. That to me shows that Heard is an incredibly cruel person. I really hope Depp stays strong, I remember reading he has anxiety problems (as I do myself), can't imagine the stress of losing a parent, having your wife leave you and being publicly shamed for an act of domestic abuse that he (most likely) didn't commit, all in a week.

HugoBorden · 2016-05-30T15:04:40+00:00

From the article:

Bingo [Stanhope's girlfriend] and I were at Johnny’s house for most of that Saturday until just before the alleged assault. We assumed initially that his dour mood was because of his mother’s death the day before. But he opened up in the most vulnerable of ways that it was not only his mother, but that Amber was now going to leave him, threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every possible duplicitous way if he didn’t agree to her terms.

And,

From what we now read in the news, later that night the police were called to his house for a domestic dispute. Finding no criminal act had occurred and no signs of physical abuse, the police left.

Sure looks to me like a cold-blooded and calculated take down of Johnny Depp. This woman really looks like a viper. The government gives modern women the incentive to act like demons. She just probably scratched herself a couple of times... each scratch a million $$$! The system is very corruptive – they're corrupting people's souls.

Tmomp · 2016-05-30T11:10:24+00:00

I don't know what to believe about this case, but the bottom line is that we have a system that motivates and rewards the behavior the article described. It hurts everyone, men more than women, but it makes a man like Depp particularly vulnerable.

Arakin · 2016-05-30T15:09:04+00:00

This is looking better and better for Johnny and worse and worse for Amber. God I pray this backfires on her. Good luck ever getting work again

Sabrejack · 2016-05-30T14:31:37+00:00

Someone should tell this guy it's okay to swear on the internet.

txroller · 2016-05-30T13:05:19+00:00

divorce is ugly. Johnny don't get married again.

kireol · 2016-05-30T13:04:10+00:00

well, assuming it's not true, Jonny has libel and slander laws on his side to repair money damage.

Godspiral · 2016-05-30T15:29:01+00:00

His best movie, blow (true story adaptation), has one of the more extreme spousal abuse examples in it, and this story brings up similar sympathies.

OttoTang · 2016-05-31T00:12:08+00:00

At this point one thing is certain, her "Career" is over. NO ONE is ever going to hire her again. She'd be lucky to find a job at Kinkos after this.

Il128 · 2016-05-30T11:51:50+00:00

When this shit happens to your common man he's just fucked.

Depp is actually lucky he is rich and powerful.

Imnotmrabut · 2016-05-30T09:34:09+00:00

But But But - You Must Believe The Victim! This is evidently the Tinsel Town Patriarchal Oppression Shitlords going into overdrive to cover up the Outrageous, Monstrous, High Money Earning And Massively Profit Making Jonny Deep Kicking Seven Shades out of the poor defenseless lesbian, who it turns out everyone was suspicious of....

Patriarchy - you got to admire it for the fiction it writes! /s

civilsaint · 2016-05-30T12:35:50+00:00

Looking at the bruises in the selfie she took in the link, that couldn't have been caused by an iPhone because there is bruising from 2 angles, the one visible when she was at court and then one lesser one on the side of her head next to her eye.

Also, of he inflicted that, then it wouldn't been visible by the time the police showed up, and they are required to file a report if they see signs of abuse.

And this:

We have watched Amber Heard f— with him at his weakest — or watched him at his weakest from being f—ed with — for the entire time we’ve known him.

It was no accident she filled for divorce just after his mother died.

ptstampeder · 2016-05-31T00:34:27+00:00

I called this last week in a different thread, got downvoted all to hell and was told that I was jaded because i recongized her personality type through my experiences with similar girls. Feel a little vindicated now.

redditorriot · 2016-05-30T13:14:03+00:00

Sad state of affairs when women can wield power over men in this way so easily that the man is destroyed and women who actually need help are seen as more suspicious, possibly such as Heard.

It's playing out like a well planned divorce proceeding - character assassination and extortion via victimhood narrative. I hope the truth is proven either way.

Depp - why you no install cameras and mics if you knew it was coming?

DrDougExeter · 2016-05-30T19:06:40+00:00

Depp is widely known to be one of the sweetest, kindest people in Hollywood. This scumbag Amber needs to get her act together. Pushing this on Depp just days after his mother passed away. Disgusting person. She has millions of her own money and still can't help being a gold digger. They've been married for just barely over a year, the writing is on the wall.

Darth_Sin · 2016-05-30T11:36:52+00:00

The fact that the judiciary does not punish women who are gold digging whore just demonstrates how gynocentric society is and how disposable males are

SigmaPUA_111 · 2016-05-30T12:40:10+00:00

Seeing a trend here... Women will think nothing of leaving a man dateless until he has his shit together, and then once his shit's together they go all-out parasite and suck the life out of you.

Today's women just don't seem healthy. Like they need a collective "come to Jesus" moment or something. Very bizarre.

Oracle712 · 2016-05-30T15:45:56+00:00

This is such bullshit. More reason to support the model "The hotter they are, the crazier they are". She stands to steal 20 million of his money after 15 months of marriage. Unfucking believable!

Hateblade · 2016-05-30T20:50:12+00:00

This chick seems like just the sort of toxic girl you want to stay completely away from.

What celebrity wants to get photographed? Especially at a really bad time in their private life with an embarrassing facial blemish? But this girl is over here parading that bruise around like it's a damned beauty mark. I've seen it from 6 different angles in the single news article I read about the situation.

Also, she was involved in lesbian relationship previously. Bi-girls in want of attention is a red flag for crazy.

And the incident that got this into the public sounds like the typical whiny bitch shit test. His mother just died and the family didn't want her to be around them (Hmm... I wonder why). According to Johnny, she acted "like a petulant child."

Sounds so familiar.

Of course, she has no end of people who can corroborate how horrible and mean Johnny was to her. Probably because she gaslit the situation by making sure that they only get to see him after she's riled him up with non-stop nagging. Bitch at him all day until he finally snaps and then "See? See how mean he is?"

This sounds like the typical abusive female.

whatssename · 2016-05-31T07:08:03+00:00

I have a great deal of empathy for Depp. As those of us who have endured abusive relationships, this sort of manipulation is par for the course. Although both men and women have the capability to behave this way, especially during a divorce, this de-facto guilt toward the male has reached startling proportions.

I find those who find it unbelievable that a woman is capable of this incredibly naive. Have we not witnessed over the past few years these false accusations proven false? And what happens once they are proven false? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Men who have dealt with similar situations both within relationships and marriages know how too real it is and how terrifying it is knowing that you're going to be perceived as guilty as soon as the accusation is made. The irony of it is that the women who make these false accusations as a means of blackmail or revenge in many cases turn out to be the ones who were the abusers in the relationship.

I don't know if Depp has it better or worse than the average man. On the one hand, he can at least afford the legal fees and is certainly in a better financial position. On the other, this is going to be pretty difficult to come back from given the public nature of it all unless Heard's story completely falls apart, which seems at least somewhat likely, but it's an uphill battle.

OoLaLana · 2016-05-30T16:39:11+00:00

This now solved post on Blind Gossip predicted ages ago there'd be a he said/she said battle... so I'm not surprised this is happening.

formerfatboys · 2016-05-30T19:29:30+00:00

Anyone that knows Amber Heard knows this.

HoundDogs · 2016-05-30T21:31:58+00:00

I hope to see a massive men's rights effort swell behind Johnny Depp. This shit has got to stop. I'm so fucking tired it seeing theses lying parasites getting away with this shit.

heykarlll · 2016-05-30T17:46:26+00:00

In her first movie all the boys love mandy lane amber played a girl who was actually the killer, just saying

Kailola · 2016-06-03T12:34:51+00:00

Never thought I'd end up in this side of Reddit lol. But her story is too... Well, scattered. There's pics but cops tell a completely different story. She could've at least trashed the place herself.

I get sick seeing other women lie about abuse. If she's lying he needs to sue her into oblivion. It's disrespectful as a woman to read other women make things up. I've been abused so it hits close to home.

I hope WHATEVER the truth is gets properly revealed. And as of now it looks more and more like a setup.

Sks44 · 2016-05-30T17:23:40+00:00

Wow. That is both frightening and seems utterly honest.

pannerin · 2016-05-30T19:58:19+00:00

Did he hit that woman or not? Doug's own article states that Johnny was awake for days with anxiety. Doug is really not helping Johnny's case here; if Amber provoked him at night, it doesn't seem unreasonable that he would hit her.

Did he hit her? In the court document his bodyguard was stated to have coaxed him to stop, but not pull him off. Did the bodyguard witness him hitting her?

So if he hit her, did she provoke him intentionally to get a reaction? His bodyguards will give their statement, and her friend theirs. Same goes with the previous incidents she claims to have evidence for.

This account also implies Amber launched this on him before the death of his mom. But his mom was on her deathbed of her long illness, so that's equally bad. But if Amber was really in danger, she would definitely seek the restraining order no matter the date.

And his character witnesses and her character assassinations don't mean jack. The most successful and saintly woman is perfectly capable of hitting her most deadbeat gigolo sugar baby husband.

Anyway Doug sounds like the worst kind of enabler. Johnny's problem is his drinking and drugs and guess what, they both have the same nasty complexion.

BrocanGawd · 2016-05-30T23:09:33+00:00

Hey I have an amazing idea. How about you not get married if you are rich? Or how about you not get married PERIOD?

In fucking California no less. I almost feel like these dudes deserve to get destroyed in court.

GoldenGonzo · 2016-05-30T12:42:31+00:00

What a shitty article. Author makes a few statements, which seem to be backed by statements from others. Okay cool, article should end right then. Author then goes on to make the same statements with slightly different wording. And again, and then yet again. Just keeps repeating the same statements. I feel for Depp but that article could have been 1/4th the length and still have 100% the content.

Bent-Pixels · 2016-05-30T15:48:56+00:00

stanhope is a hack.

if he sat quiet for years just to stay in "the circle". its not outside the realms of possibility that he would write this column at the behest of depp
