Johnny Depp has returned to America after spending a month in Europe and the Caribbean. He was in LA for a week, then on Friday, he resumed touring with his boy band, The Hollywood Vampires. These are photos from the band’s story in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where Depp got pap’d outside the concert. It looks like he has some kind of handler trying to drag him away, but Depp happily waved to photographers.

When he waved, photographers and eagle-eyed gossips noticed something different/strange. Apparently, after Depp married Amber Heard, he had “SLIM” tattooed on his knuckles on his right hand. Many thought that “SLIM” was a reference to Amber, perhaps even his nickname for her or a private joke they shared. Well, following the divorce filing and Amber’s accusations of spousal abuse, Depp had his “SLIM” tattoo changed. It now reads “SCUM.” Because classy, you guys. Here’s a blurry photo, but you can make out “SCUM”:

People Magazine also notes that Depp seems to have “blackened out” the tattoo he had of Amber’s face (?) on his right bicep. Famously, back in the day, Depp had a “Winona Forever” tattoo when he dated Winona Ryder. When they split, Depp didn’t just cover up the tattoo or have it lasered off: he repurposed it to say “Wino Forever.” Wino Forever seems almost blissfully kind compared to making “SLIM” into “SCUM.”

Let me ask you: is this the face, and are these the actions of a man who is going to settle with his estranged wife in the next month? Amber might need to drop some additional stories about how she’s willing to tell the whole story under oath.
