Piers Morgan has branded Hollywood actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard “self-obsessed whiny wastrels” amid their ongoing legal battle. Johnny, 58, and Amber, 35, married in 2015 but just one year later, they split acrimoniously as Amber claimed Johnny had been violent towards her, filing for divorce and a temporary restraining order.
In the months that followed, the former couple engaged in a war of words via the press and when their divorce was finalised in 2017, Amber pledged to split her $7 million settlement payment between a children's hospital she was patron of and a domestic violence charity. Amber later penned a Washington Post op-ed about experiencing domestic violence and while she didn't name the alleged perpetrator, Johnny launched a $50m libel lawsuit against her, claiming the article damaged his career and prevented him from getting roles.
After a long wait, the case is now being heard in a US court – but Piers Morgan isn't impressed by the ex-couple. With the pair’s trial having begun earlier this week, Piers, 57, shared his thoughts on the two actors in a New York Post column.
He wrote: "I can honestly say that the number of f***s I give about this shamelessly deluded and self-obsessed pair of whiny wastrels could be written on the back of Mycoplasma genitalium, the planet’s smallest living organism and, appropriately, a parasitic bacterium that lives in our waste disposal organs. "As Depp and Heard’s latest legal battle kicks off in a Virginia court, we’re once again being forced to endure disgustingly ugly details of how much they hate each other and how horrendously they both behaved during a relationship that even by Hollywood standards was spectacularly awful," Piers went on.
