Johnny Depp
Description:
Amber’s cheesy new Deppths
The Johnny Depp libel trial came to a close this week, with Mr Justice Nicol’s ruling expected in September. Thank goodness, for we could not have taken much more.
On the last day, star witness Amber Heard seized the opportunity to unhook her milkmaid plaits, let down her buttery blonde hair and make a cheese-churning speech on the courthouse steps.
She talked of her pain, the agony of having ‘my truth questioned’ and having to share the ‘intimate details of my life with Johnny’.
It was an experience for us, too, darlin’! From the digestive problems of their pet Yorkshire terriers to the curious incident of the log in the night-time, Johnny and Amber did not disappoint.
At the serious heart it was about the truth of a domestic-abuse allegation and the prelude to an even bigger libel trial in America — but there were times when it felt like a sordid showcase.
Still milking it, Amber’s final words were that she ‘put my faith in British justice.’
Then she went to dinner with her gal gang, to an authentic sushi bar in Soho said to ‘offer dishes not commonly found in London’.
Let’s hope that among the tuna tataki and the baked octopus balls (I didn’t know they had them) there was a dish called Revenge (Best Served Cold).
Meanwhile Johnny was giving out free bandanas to his fans, along with pre-autographed cards that thanked them for their support.
Hollywood came to town and left again, leaving behind an unedifying tale of people who have too much money, too much fame, too much everything.
