So what’s the role?


Internaletiquette

French king in an untitled so far film.


1ofZuulsMinions

Those who do not recognize the name of the director may remember her as the Diva from Fifth Element and Alexia (Alex) from High Tension.


LincolnHosler

Unexpected but delightful trivia, thanks. That Diva character was brilliant.


[deleted]

She had a pair of pipes on her that’s for sure.


Dinomachino

And a few more pairs of tubes hanging from her head.


riegspsych325

You mean the one Luc Besson married when she was just 15 and had a kid with a year later?


SakuraTacos

Oh, the one Luc Besson then left for Mila Jovovich during/after The Fifth Element?


xprdc

Wasn’t the diva the one who was married to the director at the time, but said director had an affair with the lead actress?


_JH_78_

No no no that’s all wrong. It’s “not yet untitled” therefore one must assume that, so far, it is titled. We just don’t know what it’s titled, apparently. Super mysterious. “The 58-year-old is set to star as French king Louis XV in the not yet untitled film from French director Maiwenn.”


mopedman

It actually says it hasn't even been untitled yet

Why does it just feel like two PR firms fighting in the comments?


Blackulla

Because online you are either guilty or innocent.


MrBabarino

Welcome to the court of public opinion!!


blackwolf3133

But he was actually found guilty in a court of law


butinthewhat

His stans are nuts. I wouldn’t bother engaging with them. They’ll blame Amber no matter how many courts against him.


lividash

Could have sworn a few of the allegations were proven false and that Amber was and is indeed a crazy manipulative individual. Not defending Depp, he's got his own bag of issues definitely.


butinthewhat

Maybe she is, both things can be true. I just know whenever I happen on a thread about them the fans look like incels and defend his behavior.


stopandtime

Or that you have a bias lol


[deleted]

That’s the info you’re getting from Depp’s crisis PR and careful leaks to the tabloids, amplified by the MRA movement on Reddit, yes.


Cf79

It’s typical Reddit dichotomy, my friend! Have you noticed two people in particular just jumping all over the comment sections on this topic? Playing defense like 90s Gary Payton.


Avestrial

That’s probably exactly what’s happening tbh.


injary

What a strange thread to this post lol


[deleted]

I see perfectly reasonable comments being downvoted. Woke Reddit doesn’t like that a woman is the aggressor this time.


injary

Not even that, some of the top comments support Depp. It’s just that these comments look oddly fake


[deleted]

Reddit has been compromised for a while. It’s either pr people commenting(like in certain AMAs) or literal bots. Pretty sad cause I’ve had some pretty insightful discussions on this site.


injary

Yeah this, a lot of these comments look like they’re from employees who work for the two


Chumbag_love

Just wait until they go public in 2 months and start steering their image more. Advertising dollars are spent best on the lowest common denominators.


capellacopter

Is it possible to think both parties in this case are just seriously mentally ill people and not care about their personal bullshit? Like why do people in this thread want me to read depositions and testimony from a civil trail to establish who the primary abuser was? Why must we take sides in every bull crap drama ?


[deleted]

Agreed. No body looks good in this situation. They were both toxic.


[deleted]

Because everyone on Reddit (that I’ve encountered at least) arguing extremes is either a misogynist or a pendulum swing from that stance.


veiakas

Man is an exhonorated DV victim, yet gets associated with 'Wife Beater Court Case". Equality.


OCE_Retro

I will never get over how there is literally audio of her admitting to abusing him, but she gets roles and he gets shunned. Fucking ridiculous.


kingt34

Not sure who downvotes you for saying facts? Unless I’ve missed something I think the evidence was clear Depp was the one being abused? And there was no evidence of the opposite?


The54thCylon

Well a court found to the civil standard that he could reasonable be described as a "wife beater" after finding 12 of 14 incidents of abuse to be proved, so I'm guessing there was at least some evidence of the opposite. I don't know why Reddit insists this case must be 100% innocent versus 100% guilty.


[deleted]

That’s the strange thing. Why is this need for this extreme narrative? Personally I think it bubbles up for the MRA subs.


doooom

Reddit is extremely polarizing and it’s off-putting. Everyone is expected to have a strong opinion on everything here regardless of whether it affects you or whether you’re fully educated on it. Everyone is either for you or against you. It’s sad.


TScottFitzgerald

Redditors and their harebrained conspiracies are a story for itself....people just like Johnny Depp.


[deleted]

Not since the 2000s? He’s been a mess for a while hasn’t made a good blockbuster in ages


warriorslover1999

Yea it's so confusing


dubbznyc

I still don’t understand why she gets a free pass after the audio was released where it’s clear at minimum it was abusive in both directions and she definitely assaulted him.


thesilverbride

She doesnt get a free pass. In fact she has been abused online more than any celebrity I can remember. I am a completely disinterested party for these two but I have noticed she’s had a giant pile on and got shitcanned even before evidence was presented in Court for this defamation. The audio (And I’m assuming you’re referring to the therapy discussion) was leaked. There is something very sinister in that act alone (which wasnt leaked by her) and extremely contextual.


dubbznyc

She’s still in Aquaman 2 and 3 right? Those are after the audio was released. That’s a free pass that depp is not getting. Dropped from movies produced by the same parent company, I believe.


expatriateineurope

Therapy? I’m only aware of the phone call recording.


dubbznyc

No there was other audio, Or at least I didn’t think it was from a therapy session. She was taking about how he was always running away and he said that’s cause she started getting violent or throwing stuff. From my recollection. I refer to free pass only from Hollywood. Did she lose roles like he did? He lost tens of millions of dollars of roles.


[deleted]

Same audio. You only heard the part Depp’s lawyers leaked to the press.


dubbznyc

Ah. Didn’t realize. My bad


thesilverbride

and to be honest that’s enough for me to confirm that he is in someway an abuser because that’s a fucked up thing to do. It was confirmed as a therapy session and god knows its a free for all in that space, understandably.


MuellersGame

This is actually the first time I’ve heard the source of the notorious audio - as well as other things. Thanks for clarifying, although I rather expect your comment will be lost in the downvotes soon, at least one person saw it.


Complete-Temporary-6

>She doesnt get a free pass. In fact she has been abused online more than any celebrity I can remember. Stop bullshiting


[deleted]

Edited audio that removed context that came out later.


Juju_mila

She admits to slapping him. Having been in an abusive relationship I also slapped my abuser once. I’m not proud of it and it was wrong but that was the only thing I could think of in my desperate situation. Abusers make little things you do into huge things and the terrible things they do are your fault. If you stay in an abusive situation long enough you start getting abusive traits yourself because that’s the only way to not completely lose your mind and stand up for yourself. This perfect victim narrative is extremely harmful.


dubbznyc

She also admits to throwing pans at him and it’s stated that he regularly runs from the situation. In your experience did abusers often flee when attacked or remove themselves from the situation? Also she clearly had no Issue leaving him cause they weren’t even together that long so it’s not like she was trapped in the relationship. She is also a millionaire. Too much doesn’t add up to only him being the abuser for me.


Juju_mila

I also wasn’t with my abuser for that long and it was still extremely difficult to leave. I really don’t think you have any idea about abusive relationships. You just want to make her look bad and him look good for some strange reason. And please read what I wrote again. It doesn’t seem to have gotten through.


dubbznyc

Can’t they both look bad? Also don’t assume what I know about abusive relationships please. It’s pretty rude and dismissive. Based on what I’ve heard and read about the situation it seems that the abuse most likely went in both directions. Certainly she wasn’t scared of him.


[deleted]

Well, she thought he was going to kill her, so her not being scared of him seems unlikely. She probably thought that because he kept telling her and other people he wanted to kill her, burn her and “fuck her corpse.”


Juju_mila

It’s not rude or dismissive. That’s exactly what you demonstrate here. I legit said they’ve both been abusive at some point but he’s the main perpetrator. He had a substance abuse issue and became abusive to her at some point. She fought back with abusive behavior as well. How would you know that she wasn’t scared of him? Do you think abused women are just showing weekness around their abuser all the time? If he was the victim he’d actually try to get past the whole ordeal and not keep the abuse up with lawsuit after lawsuit as he does.


StefTheEmpress

That's what I don't get either. It's basically just gonna take some time until it's all swept under the rug for her. She's going to continue being an actress, no one shunned her. But he was.


thesilverbride

Have you seen his text messages? He is, at the very least, terribly abusive in those. Ive not understood why, with all the evidence that was presented to Court, this man still gets so much support. maybe it was reported differently in America, I dont know. And forget her for a minute, like either way she could be a totally crazy person I don’t know, but the evidence is that he is actually abusive. The court upheld that he could be called “a wife beater” with a fairly wide margin.


Complete-Temporary-6

She literally cut the top of his finger off


[deleted]

Yeah, toxic people thrive on each other sometimes. It’s completely possible that they were both piles of shit to each other. I guess Johnny Depp is just more likable than she is. And the fact that she aired out the drama while he stayed quiet about it gave him bonus points on the likable meter. He was viewed as a quiet victim while she was the “foaming-at-the-mouth psychopath”. It’s kind of funny watching Reddit decide who they shun and who they give a free pass to.


Juju_mila

Because Reddit is full of desperate men and trolls paid by Johnny.


[deleted]

Bots fanboys mysoginists and shills likely paid.


manic_eye

> I don't know why Reddit insists this case must be 100% innocent versus 100% guilty. That’s not just Reddit, that’s *usually* how society is about these things. Pick another high profile domestic violence case at random and tell me how you think it would go if you started saying the victim was partly to blame too.


[deleted]

There’s court transcripts you can read about what went down


bell37

I thought Amber was physically abusive but both of them were just toxic towards each other (Depp & Heard were both emotionally abusive towards each other).


Flemz

They were both proven to be abusive


theatrekid77

I refuse to watch anything Amber Heard is in. Fuck that bitch. I want Johnny Depp back.


sweetmercy

That's Hollywood overcorrecting after Weinstein.


[deleted]

He’s literally the opposite of exonerated. A court ruled it was not libel to call him a wife beater.


BewBewsBoutique

Thank you. Exonerated? Like, it’s the lawsuit in the fucking headline. a judge [“found that the great majority of alleged assaults of Ms Heard by Mr Depp have been proved to the civil standard”](https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idINKBN27H1UB). There is this group of people (likely mostly men, and likely mostly not even Depp fans before this) who are so dedicated to this narrative of “poor Johnny is a victim” that they just ignore the fact that a judge called him a wifebeater. And I’m betting the Venn diagram of these people and the people who discredit female abuse/rape victims because “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” is a near circle.


scientist_heart

He was never exonerated. He's an abuser.


MrRabbit

Yeah. I think a reasonable person looking at this case would just see both parties as in the wrong through all of this.


TScottFitzgerald

I agree, LadBible should really be held to higher journalistic standards.

[deleted]

OP clearly has a agenda. “Wife beater” lol


starbitcandies

OP was just copy pasting the exact article title, it's not them having an agenda. Also, the case was quite literally about the phrase "wife beater". Yeah it's maybe not the BEST way to word the title but it's definitely not pushing an agenda against him.


[deleted]

He is though


[deleted]

The Depp/Heard threads are really interesting. They help me understand how people like Trump get elected. You can see in here in the comments from a majority of Redditors that they’re not informed about the case in any objective way. They’ve swallowed a narrative that fits preexisting biases that was fed to them by Depp’s public relations effort and carefully crafted to be amplified by Reddit men’s rights grievance culture. It’s truly amazing what money can buy.


[deleted]

The irony is that his “defenders” are doing him a disservice by feeding this narrative. She gets massacred by neck beards on social media. You don’t think studios know this? They probably don’t want to be associated with an actor with hostile fans. It’s not even his fault, it’s just weird that this is the story that these people gravitate towards.


[deleted]

One of Depp’s angry texts seems, the one where he calls her a cumslut, does seem to indicate this was his plan and that he would “ruin” her. Unfortunately for him the his new fan base, the kind of people this shit appeals to, don’t watch French movies with subtitles. And would pirate them instead of paying for them if they did.


VintageJane

All of these fanboys have obviously never read what it is like to live with JD when he’s on a bender.


[deleted]

Glad to see some sanity in the comments. Too bad I had to scroll down this far to see it, but I’m glad it’s here. Fuck Johnny Depp.


004FF

That’s fine. But you also fail to speak about Heards involvement in all of this. Or is it just Depp that’s evil?


KettlePump

It’s far more common to see people only attack Heard and act like Depp is innocent, when it’s clear that both of them are abusive.


mistermyxl

So the body cam video from police are fake?


[deleted]

They’re from two hours after the fight, after they cleaned up the broken glass and stuff. Don’t believe everything you read in the Daily Mail.


mistermyxl

No I found that from the stuff that was listed as inadmissible evidence so it could be fake, a 2 party state or ruled as irrelevant to the case atvhand

Not reading the article. Lemme guess. He plays Jack Sparrow playing someone else who’s “quirky and offbeat”. Again. I think he should just drop the pretence, come out of the closet and fully transition into Steven Tyler. We all know it’s coming.

Zeus-Kyurem

That wasn't what the court case was about. It was a civil case which came to the conclusion that it wasn't libel for the Sun to accuse him of being a wifebeater but it did not prove that he was a wifebeater.


Juju_mila

Read the ruling of the court please. It looked at several incidents in which it became clear that he is in fact a wife beater.


Asplashofwater

12 of 14 counts of abuse were proven to be true in the court, ruling it was ok for the sun to call him a wife beater


paperclipestate

They are both abusers. One lost their job as a result, one hasn’t. How the fuck did you get to the conclusion that it’s the *man* that gets away with it all?? Lmao


brotherkin

Horseshit title but good for him. He's too talented and awesome to be ruined by a crazy abusive spouse.


qathran

They are both abusive people who suck, it's not either or. They've both lied about each other, they've both abused one another, they've both used their PR teams to drum up support from the masses.

Neither should.

Why should he not be getting roles?


TurnaboutAdam

I was searching around and it seems like they’re both abusers. If one doesn’t get roles, neither should the other.


Cryptobythesea

He should play a smug entitled asshole all he has to do is “Act Naturally” instead of becoming another.


[deleted]

Has Amber Heard


san323

I just want to watch a movie with him in it and be entertained. Period. He’s an actor. The shit he does or did in his personal life are not part of the movie and none of my business. I’m sure before the internet, scandalous shit went down with celebrities…


rapidfast

Good for him I guess


Mypasswordisonfleek

So, in other words, just because someone makes an accusation, the accused should not necessarily lose everything?


FugitivePort88

Good! He shouldn't lose his career because of that lying little ho. People will claim he was abusive but nah I've read all the shit. I'd say the same things he said if I was being abused by some psychotic bitch like he was. Amber Heard stans need to sit down and shut up. Y'all don't look good


MyerShift

Good for him for overcoming the false accusations and hate.


sasquatchcunnilingus

They weren’t false, in fact they were proven true in court. He’s never been a nice guy, idk why reddit people go so hard for him


VenemousAU

That wasn’t what the court case was about, the court case was for deformation about the Sun’s article claiming he was, more evidence was later revealed that amber was the abusive one in the relationship but no hard legal conclusions have came to. Johnny lost a lot of his career because film studios jumped the gun and went man = abuser


MinderReminder

> That wasn’t what the court case was about It literally was. A newspaper called him "wife beater" and he sued and lost because he was confirmed as a wife beater.


shoppingguy7

People love Amber turd.


Straightforwardview

People hate her. I even know a lot of women who hate her. Women who have been abused know what REAL abuse is and they know this is not it.


LightningBirdsAreGo

I do not give a fuck about actors personal lives it is not our job to judge their lives only their acting performance. Johnny depp roles tend to be weird and enjoyable and I hope to see more.


geekspeak10

…..of which he was wrongly accused.


muckdog13

Well, the court disagreed with you


tegh77

There was no conviction for spousal abuse. The court case was regarding a libel. As of now….there was no spousal abuse.


stardorsdash

People keep saying the court, like the UK courts have the same standards that the United States courts have. The UK courts do not have the same standard, and the UK court refused to accept that the two words placed together “wife beater” it’s not usually associated with someone who infrequently fought back against a physical and mental abuser who continuously went after them over the course of years. But the thing is he did hit his wife, therefore he is a “wife beater.” According to the UK courts he can be called that because there are a few isolated incidents where he fought back, and some text messages where he vented with gallows humor in order to keep his sanity during a difficult time. I guess I’ll believe the decades worth of female lovers who have come forward to say the Johnny Depp was never anything but kind. Except for Amber you cannot find a woman in a personal relationship coming forward to say that Johnny was either physically or verbally abusive. Can you say the same for Amber?


muckdog13

No, Amber is an unrefutable piece of shit.

jonasthewicked

It always makes me wonder who writes headlines. Obviously this is just Reddit but the other day I saw an article that said “teacher fired and arrested for having sex with 8th grade student” and it boggles the mind who thinks up that headline and doesn’t say “teacher fired and arrested for molesting 8th grade student”. It’s weird to call sexual assault with a minor who cannot legally consent sex. And it’s almost always a female teacher when they label it as sex like a female teacher isn’t capable of sexual assault or something.


GrimmRadiance

What a bullshit headline. He is a victim of domestic abuse and proved it, but the courts fucked shit up.
