Johnny Depp admits he felt boycotted after Amber Heard trial, has no 'further need' for Hollywood

Camille Vasquez, the legal ally who stood by Johnny Depp’s side throughout his high-profile trial against Amber Heard, has cemented a bond with the actor beyond the courtroom.

Johnny Depp spent the last year proving he is still a major force in Hollywood.  His highly publicized defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard came to a conclusion exactly one year ago.  During their bombshell six-week court battle, the 59-year-old actor and 37-year-old actress both testified, lobbing shocking allegations of physical and sexual abuse against each other. On June 1, 2022, a Virginia jury ruled largely in Depp's favor, as they found Heard liable on all three counts of defamation stemming from a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to herself as domestic abuse survivor.

He is devastated by this turn of events, but looks forward to resting up so all four Vampires can bring their absolute best to the tour in Europe.”

Johnny Depp paid tribute to a friend.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial seven years later, there could be no doubt: this was our new world. Not only were these two characters the personification of “post-truth” – basically the triumph of feeling over fact – but to judge by the social media commentary, a vast swathe of the 500 million who tuned into YouTube every day from across the globe were also being led by feeling over fact.

Over the past several years, Johnny Depp has been the subject of a number of controversial reports, most of them stemming from his alleged erratic behavior on set and the accusations of abuse from his ex, Amber Heard. Since then, he’s been persona non grata in major Hollywood productions, which included being fired from the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise.

Johnny Depp returned to the spotlight in grand fashion this week to open the prestigious Cannes Film Festival with his new flick, "Jeanne du Barry." Depp stars in the French-speaking role as King Louis XV with director Maïwenn at the helm of the movie. The 59-year-old actor was worlds away from a celebratory place just one year ago as he was immersed in a libel trial with his ex-wife, Amber Heard. His rise back to the top after a tumultuous year is hard for Depp to believe.
