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.
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.

Actress Ellen Barkin testified that a "jealous" and constantly high Johnny Depp once threw a wine bottle in Las Vegas while they were in a relationship.
He also recounted seeing Depp do cocaine with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. “[Their relationship was] a lot of love, a lot of disappointment, a lot of fear,” he said. In his notes from one of their sessions, Blaustein said Depp referred to Heard as, “Such a pain in the ass.” He said the actor felt “frustration, impatience and anger” with Heard, 36, during their marriage. She also said Depp was “drunk all the time” in an “out of control” way and she witnessed him doing cocaine and hallucinogens, as well as smoking weed. The Bronx-born actress said she had a “romantic” relationship with Depp in the 1990s — before changing her mind and asking the lawyer deposing her, “Can you change that to sexual?” “He was drunk a lot of the time,” Barkin said about Depp in a recorded deposition played for the Fairfax, Va., jury, noting, “He was a red wine drinker.”

“I don’t know why he threw the bottle,” she said. “He called me and told me he was tripping.” Barkin said that Depp once spiraled out of control in front of her. “I don’t really know,” she said. When asked whether she was aware of Depp drinking to excess, Barkin responded, “I was always aware.” She said shortly thereafter that Depp “was drunk all the, most of the, a lot of the time.” Depp, a heavy “red wine” drinker, did hallucinogens, pot, and cocaine, she said. “He’s just a jealous man, controlling,” Barkin said when asked to describe his possessiveness. “I had a scratch on my back once,” Barkin said.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation over an article she wrote about being a victim of domestic violence, while she is countersuing him, and in their ongoing legal battle, a pre-recorded deposition from the Animal Kingdom actress - who dated Johnny for "several months" after their platonic friendship turned "sexual" in 1994 - was played to the court on Thursday. Ellen Barkin claimed Johnny Depp was "always" drinking and once "threw a wine bottle" at her during their relationship.
Actor Ellen Barkin recalled her former relationship with Johnny Depp on the stand during the defamation trial, claiming he was "always drinking."
“And when it dropped off, the disconnect became untenable.” Things began to change around 2010, and it “became clear over time that there were issues with alcohol and drugs,” Mandel said. “And it also got around town,” Jacobs said. “I think he would work himself up.” “And it did.” At one point, Depp was spending around $100,000 a month for a doctor and staff to help him get sober, Mandel said. “Well, you’re not all right.” And I pretty much haven’t seen him since 2018.” And it made people reluctant to use him.” It meant a bigger life and a more expensive one.” During Barkin’s deposition, she testified that Depp was “always drinking or smoking a joint” or doing other illegal drugs. But Heard’s attorneys say those denials lack credibility because he frequently drank and used drugs to the point of blacking out.
Amber Heard's legal team called on the actress to testify in the ongoing defamation trial.
"She wanted a proper relationship with me and I did not want that," Depp testified at the time. Depp claimed Barkin had a grudge against him because he wouldn't give her more than the "sexual element" in the relationship. "He was drunk a lot of the time," she claimed. This is also not the first time Barkin has testified against Depp. She did so during the Pirates of the Caribbean star's 2020 libel case against The Sun's publisher, News Group Newspapers, after the outlet published an article in April 2018 referring to Depp as a "wife beater." Barkin said "the friendship went up and down living on different coasts" but when she moved to Hollywood in 1994, the actress said it was no longer platonic. The 68-year-old actress was called to testify on Heard's behalf and, in the deposition recorded on Nov. 22, 2019, Barkin recalled her brief "sexual" relationship with Depp in the 1990s.

Johnny has also alleged that it was Amber who was the abusive one in the relationship. During her testimony on Wednesday, Amber admitted she hit Johnny multiple times but argued that it was always in self-defence and not assault. Amber has claimed Johnny was physically and sexually abusive towards her and countersued him for $100 million. Johnny Depp's former girlfriend, actor Ellen Barkin has called the actor “jealous, controlling and frequently drunk” during her testimony in Johnny's ongoing defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. Ellen, who dated Johnny in the 90s, is a witness on the defence's behalf. Ellen, 68, said she had a brief "sexual relationship" with Johnny in the 1990s. The two actors briefly dated in the late-1990s when they were filming Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
