Description:

Up until the preliminary hearing, the text messages had gone unseen. The messages were between Depp and the actor Paul Bettany.

News Group Newspapers’ legal team had gotten ahold of around 70,000 texts after Depp’s previous lawyers had accidentally shared them, according to Page Six. The texts reach back a few years and some of them definitely fit the description of “disturbing,” saying things like these texts from 2013:

“Let’s burn Amber.” (Nov. 6, 2013)
and
“Let’s drown her before we burn her!!!” (Nov. 7, 2013)

Adam Waldman, Depp’s US attorney, had some things to say about the texts and the Sun in reference to them being used in the case. Here’s what he had to say to Yahoo Entertainment:

“This is why Johnny Depp seeks justice in court and not the media. The media will not report that at the end of a demonstrated abuse victim’s single frustrated text to a friend, Johnny confides to Paul Bettany that he could in fact never ‘spray my rage at the one I love’ and says he will use pills instead to numb the pain. This is the best text of 70,000 the desperate Sun tabloid could muster to save their skin.”
