Johnny Depp end of career?

I am struggling with a question. I really can't decide. If you have opinions please post them and your reasons for your answer.
If a woman knows a man has an alcohol and drug problem, if she knows he has been drinking heavily and has just been robbed of a huge amount of money ($650million), if she sets up her phone without telling him to film him as he is kicking a fridge and banging cupboard doors all the time asking him why he is doing it, whose fault is it whan he finds the phone and throws it?
I want to say all violence to women is wrong. But I am wondering if there are women particularly celebrities who are using victimhood to further their careers.

i agree with Quizqueen and Gill.
i was surprised by the verdict. i thought he would win the case but with only nominal damages, of say £100, and no award of costs. so he would be out of pocket for bringing the case.
it seemed that one was as bad as the other; her behaviour is erratic, she got him into trouble in
australia for bringing in unauthorised animals.
she was also violent towards him. and he has no form.
i have never seen his films, am not fan, but just followed the case out of general legal interest.

The results of the case here won't matter much anyway there is still a multi-million case pending in the USA.

well QQ i find myself agreeing with you. Not one of Depp's previous previous partners or work colleagues reported any violence or abuse whereas Heard has quite a history of unstable behaviour. I am not victim blaming, but why should the woman always be believed? In my opinion, this was a pathetic attention seeking exercise on her part, latched onto by the Sun and nobody comes out of it well. Sleazy lives. This may well harm Depp's career, but I suspect the most damage will be done to hers.

Depp was an idiot to bring a court case against The Sun. Did he have no idea what it would involve?

Of course his career should be over. He's basically been called a wife abuser, is a wife abuser, and in today's society there's no coming back.

Amber Heard is the victim here. But she doesn't come out of this story well either. She was herself arrested some years ago due to hitting a female.

Both of them seem like a match made in hell

However, many famous men over the years have been known to be abusive and have carried on with careers. But today's society is very different and Johnny has had it.

I have to say I've enjoyed a lot of his films. Edward Scissorhands was a masterpiece. As was Gilbert Grape. The Pirate ones were great fun.

But he's made his choice and that's that. He's ruined. Can't see an appeal having much luck

I'd have thought anyone in the public eye wanting to take on a national newspaper might think twice after this.

Personally, I believe Jonny over Amber. Not one of the women, he has previously had a relationship with, have anything bad to say about him and neither do his children. She, on the other hand, has a track record for volatile behaviour. I'm really surprised at the outcome of the trial. Just because you're a woman, doesn't mean you are the innocent one.

I didn’t like him either, he deserves to lose his career. What an arrogant man! After everything he did he chooses to bring a court case!

unfortunateley 'the sleazy look' is for his film roles so he has had to keep it! Not a good look though. we judge people by their look sadly......this is regardless of the libel case he lost!
Amber heard done her share of hitting him in the marriage as the case showed Many women hit men and are quite shocked when they get hit back.

This wasn't a court case about whether Depp was guilty of violence.
It was a court case about whether the Sun newspaper was guilty of libel for reporting the fact of him being a wife beater.

What did you wonder jaylucy?

Why wouldn't a woman try to get evidence filmed on a phone, if she could?

I would without doubt try to film an abusive mans behaviour. If you dont want to be filmed doing that maybe dont do it.

I have always thought he was a bit weird anyway and the fact that some of the abuse was filmed on the woman's phone made me wonder.
In no way do I condone any abuse of any form , but just suspicious of Amber Heard's motives - I mean, was any of the films used in a criminal assault case before? Or just saved up for this court case.
Whatever, doesn't show either of them up well and he will now become a "could have been " and she will become a "never has been"

Who is Johnny Depp?

the best put down...

Probably that fact about Sean Connery was less well publicised.

Who is Johnny Depp?

I'm also not convinced that this will end his career. Misogyny is alive and kicking in the world of film, especially in the USA where he spends a lot of his time filming.

I'm sad that JD appears to have become sleazy as he has aged.
And no man should get away with assaulting women.
But how do we know what goes on with lots of other actors?
He's a good actor, imho, and I'm not sure he deserves to lose his career over this. Half of Hollywood could be out of work if we knew what their personal life was like.

I’m not so sure that it will end his career. Sean Connery is on record as saying it was ok to slap a woman and it didn’t appear to have an adverse effect on his career.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the series of films J52.
Jonny Depp stars as Gellert Grindlewald in the first two, and is supposed to be in the others (5 altogether). Whether he will return to this role remains to be seen.

I've always though him rather creepy.

He's made some great films- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to name just 2. He is a producer as well as an actor now so I doubt it will impact greatly on his career, plus he's 57 so his roles tend to be more character ones anyway.

J52 he is the baddy in the first two films of the Fantastic Beasts and where to find them franchise. I think he has already filmed his scenes for the third one.

He plays a pivotal character so I guess the role would have to continue, maybe recast? After all anything can happen in the world of witches and wizards?

JK Rowling has cast him in one of her films ( can’t remember the title) aimed at family viewing. She will have to decide to carry on or dump him. Both will no doubt, be an expensive decision.
He has always given me the creeps, since his Jack Sparrow days.

I agree FannyCornforth neither of them came out of this well. What an appalling waste of money. I have never been a fan of Depp either.

You wonder who on earth advised him to go forward with the case. Will it end his career? He still seems to have many fans but it will depend on whether film producers etc as to whether they want to take a chance on him. Personally can't see his appeal so if I never see him in a film again it will be no great loss.

I hope his career is finished. His attempt to totally deny any responsibility, to put the blame on his victim is typical of domestic abusers.
I hope her career isn't finished but his power in Hollywood remains.
