Johnny Depp loses with Amber but wins with all the others
Johnny Depp loses the case against the Sun (and Amber Heard) but his women defend him with the sword. In the end, this is his real victory
What a bad time for Johnny Depp, an unforgettable sex symbol of the 90s and 2000s. His beauty, in recent times, has become somewhat tarnished, partly obscured by the bad sentimental and judicial events of which he was the protagonist. The last roles played, in the courtroom, were those of the abusive husband, verbally and physically, alcoholic, drug addict. If it had been a film, it would surely have won that Oscar he had been chasing for years. But being real life, the only result obtained was to see one's image lose its light and charm in the eyes of thousands of fans around the world. Hear and see the videos in which Johnny, stoned, insults his ex-wife and throws bottles and objects of various kinds at her, for all the women who have always identified him with the sweet freak Edward Many of Forbice, the charming and kind Gypsy from Chocolat and tough but sensitive undercover cop Donnie Brasco, it was a huge blow. And it made him fall from that pedestal he had been on for at least twenty years.
To give him the coup de grace, news of the last few days, the lost case against the Sun (and in return the ex-wife Amber) who had accused him of being a "wifey hitter". Johnny was defeated, complete with the often misleading headlines, his obvious anger about it (“I don't stop here”) and the photos showing Heard, beaming, hugging her family. As if to say: I won, you are the violent, the sick, the villain of the story.
There is a however. Because in the midst of all this baillame, between pleadings and trial trials, there were "all the women" of Johnny. Who ran to defend him, swear non-violence and kindness in the courtroom, claiming his purity of soul. And we're not just referring to daughter Lily Rose, an emerging model, who stressed that her father never lifted a finger at her. They also wanted to say their Vanessa Paradis, ex wife and mother of his two children, Winona Ryder, Johnny's great youthful love, who also testified in court. And, lastly, also friend and colleague Helena Bonham Carter, ex wife of Tim Burton, director with whom Depp has made many films.
