Johnny Depp's 'Whole World Has Been Flipped Around' After Legal Battle, Source Says

By Ribhu Singh

For Johnny Depp, the bad news just keeps on coming.

On November 2, a court in the U.K. ruled against the actor, saying a tabloid was justified in using the phrase "wife beater" in a 2018 article about the star and his ex Amber Heard, who has accused him of physical abuse. (Depp strenuously denies the claims.)

Four days later, he took to Instagram to announce he'd been fired from the Fantastic Beasts movie trilogy. "I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros.," he revealed in a letter to fans, "and I have respected and agreed to that wish." He added that he was planning to file an appeal in the court case and continue to do whatever it takes to repair his tarnished reputation. "My life and career," he wrote, "will not be defined by this moment in time."

But some people close to him say it may be too late for the star. "Johnny went from being a Hollywood icon who everybody admired and wanted to be, to a sad and sorry figure of a man clinging to the remnants of his shattered image," an insider exclusively tells OK!, adding that after burning through much of his $650 million fortune, Depp, 57, can't help but feel like he's lost it all.

"Between his bombshell abuse case with Amber, his financial crisis and being dropped from his latest film, Johnny's whole world has been flipped around," continues the insider. "His demons have taken him down, and he says he feels haunted by his mistakes."

After getting his big break on the 1980s cop series 21 Jump Street, Depp became one of the industry's most sought-after stars.

A reluctant heartthrob, he initially leaned towards offbeat roles in films like Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood. By the late '90s and early 2000s, he was a major box office draw.

"Johnny is so talented, and anyone who spent any length of time with him on set could see that," says the insider. "His roles are so vast, and even when the movie wasn't a hit, Johnny was always great in it."

Behind the scenes, personal tragedy, relationship woes and struggles with drug and alcohol addiction reined. For years, Depp carried the weight of his friend River Phoenix's death on his shoulders: In 1993, rising star Phoenix, then 23, died from a drug overdose outside Depp's Los Angeles club, The Viper Room.

According to the insider, there were even rumors Depp was the one who administered the fatal dose to Phoenix himself. "Imagine living with that," Depp once said of the hurtful whispers.

The actor's world changed for the better when he met French singer Vanessa Paradis in 1998. "I saw her across a room and thought, 'What's happening to me?'" he later recalled of their first meeting. "My life as a single man was done." Together, Depp and Paradis moved to the south of France and quietly raised their two children, Lily Rose, 21, and Jack, 18.
