“I’m not sure we should burn Amber. She is delightful company and pleasing on the eye. We could of course do the English course of action and perform a drowning test. Thoughts? You have a swimming pool,” Paul texted to Johnny in 2013, referring to Amber. Johnny wrote replied, “Let’s drown her before we burn her,” to which Paul responded, “My thoughts entirely. Let’s be certain before we pronounce her a witch.”
This text conversation also appeared in Depp’s lawsuit against the U.K. outlet, The Sun. Depp sued the media publication for referring to him as a “wife beater” in one of their articles published in 2018. He lost the lawsuit after the court determined that the claims made in the piece were “substantially true”.
That same year, the “Aquaman” star detailed her story of surviving “sexual abuse” in an opinion piece she penned for The Washington Post. She did not mention Depp in the article, but Depp’s lawyers insist it was damaging nonetheless because everyone knew who she was referring to.
Less than one week after the article went live, Depp was dropped from two of his biggest upcoming movies, including a sequel of the popular franchise “Pirates of the Carribbean”, in which he starred in as Captain Jack Sparrow.
