Overview

  • Depp told The Sunday Times that wanting to help Heard blinded him to warning signs, leading him to call himself a 'sucker' for love.
  • He accused three unnamed confidants—some of whom attended his children’s parties—of testifying against him or remaining silent when he needed support.
  • Describing himself as a 'crash test dummy for MeToo,' he said he absorbed the movement’s fallout while watching peers choose self-preservation over loyalty.
  • Recalling his 2022 defamation verdict, he reflected on the emotional cost of exposing his private struggles to defend his reputation.
  • He is now redirecting his energy toward his Hollywood comeback, with his next lead role in the forthcoming thriller Day Drinker.
