Johnny Depp's Ex-UTA Agent Reveals Actor's Cash-Strapped Woes ... (Deadline)

The jury in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial on Thursday saw the actor's former agent and former business manager describe the collapse of his ...

Asked about one of Depp’s reasons for dropping her as his agent — that her interests “were different than when we started” — Jacobs denied that she had conflicts and said that she was never represented by Mandel. Jacobs said that Depp was paid $25 million plus backend for Pirates 5, but that she could not recall whether there was any kind of negotiation for him to appear in the next in the film franchise. They included phone calls with a person who posts on social media by the name of “That Umbrella Guy,” as well as others. She said that the “other things” included questions about his drug and alcohol use. In pre-recorded video testimony that was played for the jury, Heard’s attorney asked Jacobs, “So Mr. Depp came in and said, ‘I want you to get $20 million for me?'” “He is just a jealous man, controlling,” Barkin also said of Depp in language and details that are very similar to how Heard and other witnesses for the defense have characterized the actor. By the time that Depp dropped UTA in 2016, Jacobs said that his reputation for being tardy to sets had made it more difficult to get him work. Newman also said she was “not aware” that Heard’s op-ed played any role in Depp not being asked back for a yet unmade Pirates 6. “Very mean,” the lawyer said to the court of Depp’s behavior to her. “He switched the buttons,” Barkin said of the change in her relationship in 1994 with Depp, who she had known for several years beforehand. Barkin said the bottle was thrown toward her and others in Mr. Depp’s Sin City suite during “a fight.” The former Pirates of the Caribbean actor has also insisted that besides a bout with opioid Oxycodone in and around 2014, he has never had a drug or alcohol problem, no matter how much he ingests.

'Two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out,' reads the headline. Waldman said one example could be the incident on May 21, 2016 at Heard's Los Angeles penthouse where she claims Depp hit her with a phone We had a gig, I saw him but he was really distance and f**ked up. 'If she was on a film or doing something he couldn't be around to see what was going on, he'd work himself up. Jacobs said, 'Initially crews loved him because he was always so great with the crew but crews don't love sitting around for hours and hours waiting for the star of the movie to show up. 'If she was on a film or doing something he couldn't be around to see what was going on, he'd work himself up' He was a sober doctor. She said: 'His star had dimmed, given the reputation he'd acquired due to his lateness and other things.

Ellen Barkin Testifies in Amber Heard and Johnny Depp Defamation ... (Daily Beast)

The actress had a thing with Depp in the 90s, and painted a picture of chaos.

The witnesses also pushed back on the claim that it was Heard’s op-ed that tarnished Depp’s career, instead of his own self-destructive behavior. Dr. Alan Blaustein, Depp’s former psychiatrist, said in a January deposition that the actor struggled with drugs and alcohol, substances he used as a crutch to cope with “psychic” wounds. The allegations mirror claims by Heard, who said that Depp tried to control her career and would often accuse her of cheating throughout their short-lived union that ended in 2017. A celebrity in her own right, Barkin previously testified in Depp’s failed U.K. defamation case. Barkin, who dated Depp in the 1990s while the pair were filming Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, is among the more high-profile witnesses to appear in the civil defamation trial between the actor and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Depp has sued Heard, claiming her 2018 Washington Post op-ed identifying herself as a domestic violence survivor “devastated” his successful acting career. He was a red wine drinker.”

Ellen Barkin alleged in a video deposition that ex-friend and brief lover Johnny Depp threw a wine bottle across a hotel room toward her and others.

In the video, she described Depp as a man who was frequently drunk or high or both, who was also jealous and controlling in general. “I just know he was always drinking or smoking a joint,” said Barkin, who was unable to specify how often she saw him altered. Before they divorced in 2016, Heard had obtained a temporary restraining order against Depp after alleging he had committed domestic violence. The bottle didn’t hit her, and she couldn’t remember if it was full or empty. The two actors’ relationship turned sexual in the last three to six months of their long friendship, Barkin said.
