Johnny Depp’s passive-aggressive sniping at his ex-wife would be a lot funnier if we didn’t have evidence that he’s a gaslighting, drunk, abusive jackass. You know what I mean? It would be funny because it’s SO obvious. It’s sort of ridiculous how Depp and his people are still leaking to TMZ and trying to make Amber Heard look bad. They don’t realize that they’re only making themselves look terrible. So, earlier this week, TMZ got some “sources” to talk about how Amber was so, so terrible because she hadn’t donated any money from her $7 million divorce settlement, and that’s why it was so brilliant that Depp was going to donate the money on her behalf, right? Except that Amber’s lawyer came out and said, oh right, Depp hasn’t coughed up the settlement money yet and the lawyers are still finalizing everything. And now TMZ has a new story. They’re trying so hard to make Amber sound like the bad guy.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finally hammered out their divorce settlement, and the charities she promised to fund will get their cash … with a slight delay. Sources connected to the exes tell us Johnny will pay Amber $6.8 million — that’s the $7 mil originally agreed upon, minus the $200k he already donated to the ACLU and Children’s Hospital L.A. in her name. We’re told she’ll get all the money within about 12 months.
Amber will then follow through on her vow to donate ALL of her settlement dough. We’re told she’ll make multiple payments to CHLA and the ACLU … with the plan being to pay the full amount by the end of 2018. Sources not connected with Amber are scoffing, saying they don’t think the charities will ever get the money.
Bottom line — Johnny will get a charitable tax write-off for $200k, Amber will write-off her $6.8 mil worth of donations … and they can both put the nightmare marriage and divorce behind them.
Jesus Christ. “Sources not connected with Amber are scoffing, saying they don’t think the charities will ever get the money.” GEE I WONDER WHO THOSE SOURCES ARE. Basically, Depp’s lawyers have worked it out so the Scarf Monster will be paying Amber’s divorce settlement directly to her in installments over the course of a year, and Amber has promised to donate the money to the ACLU and Children’s Hospital in installments as it comes in. And Amber is being painted as the bad guy by TMZ because…??? Because she doesn’t already have the money in her hands to donate right now, because Depp has withheld it?
Also: Amber was in LA this week, and she was spotted out with a “mystery man.” That’s how this guy was described for a day, until someone finally ID’d him: the guy is country singer Mark Wystrach, and he and Amber dated back in 2007. So, she was in LA and she had dinner with an ex (who was not Johnny Depp). You can see the pics here.

So, we can all assume that his finances are a complete mess, yes?
Didn’t her lawyer originally say he was gonna pay her directly when the divorce gets finalized this week!?
Yeah this is all really convoluted. Can’t her lawyers just force him to pay up everything up front?
Why were there no consequences to him “donating 200k on her behalf”?
If I was her I would be really angry at my lawyers.
Seriously. He should have to pay every single penny to her. Regardless of what her intentions are for the money, he owes the money to her, not charity. I’m sure she’s going to donate the money, but she certainly isn’t obligated to. That money is hers to do with as she chooses.
“Why were there no consequences to him “donating 200k on her behalf”?”
This bothers me too. Once again, he avoids consequences for his actions.
Yeah sounds like. Maybe not Nicholas Cage owner of Dinosaur Eggs messed up, but definitely not good.
An expensive lifestyle and an ‘alleged’ raging drug habit will do that to you. Judging by the teeth, my guess would be meth.
crack will do that, too.
Yes!
Or both together.
UGH….MY EYES!!! WTF happened Johnny??? How did you go from, hot, sexy, sweet guy to…..that!
Booze and other substances,…
When your outside reflects your insides…
This.
seriously. I saw a REALLY CHEESY cologne ad with him last night (“Sauvage”, I think?) and he looked great.
trim, clean, etc.
but here?!…*SHUDDERS*
those TEEFS!
Photoshop is thy friend lol
I’m with Cee- that ad is a poster child for photo shopping.
Yes, the perfume is called “Sauvage”, and I take extreme offence at that!
but this wasn’t a print ad, it was a tv ad. with him in motion. I guess they digitally altered it.
a LOT.
There is absolutely nothing about Johnny Depp that says to me, “Hey, I want to smell like you”
Reminds me of when Lindsay Lohan’s appearance was getting so bad (from drugs, alcohol, and smoking) they could barely photoshop her back to attractiveness. It was the teeth that gave her away first, too.
Makeup and lighting.
Jack Sparrow had one hell of a post midlife crisis.
TEAM AMBER
GET THAT MO MONEY GURL
It’s no one’s effing business what she does with her settlement. If she wants to donate it all, great. If only partial or none at all, fine as well. These Johnny Depp “sources” (aka Johnny Depp) are douchebags.
And I certainly hope these charities know enough to keep their mouths shut as to what they eventually do or do not receive. That is NOT public information.
Exactly! Except now I think everyone feels it’s necessary to have it confirmed or everyone will go on bath mouthing her, even though IT’S HER MONEY!
This right here is why I am still livid he was cast in Fantastic Beasts because I promised I would boycot all of his projects and I plan on keeping my word and it kills me because I really liked the first Fantastic Beasts film.
I will also support ALL of her projects as far as I am able to.
I felt the same. He is supposed to have a part in Gnomeo and Juliet and I wanted to support it because of James McAvoy, but now I can’t.
He is now toxic, isn’t he? Of course some will still support these films but I just can’t. He is not a decent human being.
Right!? Talk about not hearing the people and why isn’t he a liability yet ala Lohan (cutting his hand & stopping production for weeks)? It was so.very.dumb to put him in that movie & I’ll be skipping it. He just bugs me too much to sit back & enjoy his face on screen.
@cee, I too love jk, but will not, like you, be supporting anything with depp in it. I cannot even stomach his old movies right now and I dearly loved capt jack 😢😢
In the theater when I saw Fantastic Beasts, people literally groaned when the big reveal showed him.
@HappyMom, thanks for sharing! I honestly worry that everyone is going to forget much sooner that he’s garbage. I knew he was in it before it came out or right as it came out, so it was a no-brainer for me to forego giving them my money.
Well the movie has just passed $500M worldwide..
I went to see that movie ( fantastic beasts) , I am an old
Potter head and I was sure that Depp was not on the film… surprise! He appeared even if not for long. I have tweeted JK Rowling, I may not meant much, but I can’t stand him in a movie like that.
@Jena, not to his credit though. He only has an un-promoted cameo.
@silliness I know, but he’s officially part of another successful franchise now.
He is so gross.
Yes. Ewwwwwwww.
yep!
Ugh. Perfectly proves the saying: at fifty you get the face you deserve.
He deserves to look scummy.
I guess I deserve to look old and depressed, then. Ha!
That’s you and me both, lol.
I’ve never heard that, but I love it!
What do you wanna bet that he will find a reason to stall payments and pick a fight on TMZ at least twice next year?
Seriously.
This. Seriously, I am sure it’s going to be more often than that, because he is going to do everything in his power to shame her into donating every penny the minute it leaves his bank account.
WHy is TMZ so misogynistic!?!? WHY?!?!??! WHY!?!?!??!?! Like why does Harvey Levin hate women? I don’t understand.
Seems Johnny is being pretty petty by giving it to her in monthly installments over a 12-month period. He knows what he’s doing.
way too petty ! he should give her that money and move on.
I was so disappointed when he showed up at the end of Fantastic Beasts. It took me right out of what was otherwise a very fun movie.
Not only because he is gross in real life right now but because what a deeply unoriginal choice for this sort of movie. 🙄
Thanks for the warning. I won’t be taking my grandson to see it now.
I actually GASPED and was so ANGRY. I will skip the rest of the films if he is in them.
Unless there’s some massive change, he will be be.
Yep, they absolutely ruined this franchise for me now. I was beyond excited for it but that just completely took the magic out of it. I won’t see the rest. I’m still coming to terms with not seeing the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I know it’s corny, but our family loved those movies so much. I won’t give that loser a dime of money. I’m thinking I should donate the money I would’ve spent on seeing movies with him in it to domestic violence programs – in honor of Amber Heard.
That sounds like a great idea!
@cali, That is exactly what I am going to do! That idea needs to be spread! Don’t Support Johnny Depp, Support Your Local Women’s Shelter!!!!!!!
He’s like an after picture from Faces of Meth.
THIS
Does Johnny own a mirror? Does he look in that mirror?
I think he does. He puts a lot of effort in to dressing like a hobo, all the scarves, jewellery and dirty clothes. His outfits are never items he just thru on. Plus the eyeliner…his style is all very bizarre.
he is THE definition of “try-hard” at this point. Geez man give it up.
I just Googled “Mark Wystrach” and this guy said Amber was pregnant in 2014.. WTF?
Considering they are friends still, I would say he was probably trolling the tabloids.
For a man who is supposedly worth 400 million, there’s no excuse for this behaviour. The fact that he dragged his feet on this tells me everything I need to know. Idiot.
I started to skim the comments there and wanted to throw something at the wall. I just can’t believe that nobody sees Johnny is obviously totally screwed financially. Otherwise he’d have her paid off and done. He’s obviously not having any luck selling off the things he’s been trying to sell.
TMZ sucks so bad for the nasty way they keep trying to spin this story against Amber. I absolutely loathe them and Johnny Depp.
I wish Amber all the peace and happiness. Karma will come for JD eventually.
He’s actually sold some of the paintings and penthouses.
He’s already sold 2 or 3 penthouses worth 2,5 mil each plus paintings worth 11 million.He stayed in a luxurious villa in Ibiza for almost 2 months.Nahh,I don’t think he has a problem yet.PLus he’s booked for a huge new movie franchise.We don’t know the settlement which might explain why he’s gonnna give the money in parts.
I would also think that he’s stalling because his finances aren’t in order, except for the fact that this reeks of one last vestige of control over her. Not that I think his finances are all that tidy and in good health. They’re probably in the same state as his teeth.
HE. LOOKS. EFFED.
I like that comment ‘At fifty you get the face you deserve.’
maybe its an act? don’t think so tho’
I’m so so so happy for her! It was inconceivable that he would be allowed to extend his douchbaggery and control so far as to hand her divorce settlement cash over to a charity, not to her directly. I’m incredibly relieved at this result, in a world that seems madder and madder each day: a little normalcy and justice.
Why do so many people care where her settlement is going?? She should keep it and spend it on herself, it’s her right. Or are people still pulling the fake cry of abuse gold digger card? She should spend it like Blu Cantrell in her video from like 2000 “Put your hands on his cash and spend it to the last dime for all the hard times’. BOY BYE.
Unfortunately they do. The excuses and reasoning behind their opinions are unbelievable, because they go through such lengths to overlook his behavior by hiding behind “but she’s a gold digger!” Even now they are choosing to ignore the fact that she hasn’t donated the money BECAUSE HE HASN’T GIVEN IT TO HER.
ITA 100%
This. On the one hand it’s great that she’s giving the money to charities that need it, but on the other hand it’s sad that the pro-Depp, anti-Amber misogynists have basically created this narrative where if she doesn’t give all the money away, she must have been a lying golddigger.
Tbh, I don’t care if she’s a gold digger. If she is, she definitely earned her money putting up with his shit. Cracked out Johnny, with all his fellow druggie friends. Imagine having to hang out with that crew! She might like to party, But she doesn’t look like a drug addict. Unlike Johnny and his buddies. He looked a lot better when they started dating, I think she was intrigued by his hippie ways and money at first. But Johnny really looks like he’s really abusing the drugs and alcohol now. I wish I could have had him in his 21 jump street days. He was fine!
unfortunately trying to make amber look bad does work. CB is one of the few places that sticks with amber, everywhere else the comments are insane. so misogynist and unfair, really heartbreaking. it’s terrifying to see that some people prefer to believe her evidence to be fake, rather than accept a man they do not personally know might be abusive and have addictions.
I wonder – and I’m hoping – that part of the reason she is going to take until almost 2018 to finish donating the funds, and they are reporting that he will have paid the settlement off in a year, is because her lawyers and accountants advised her correctly and they have a plan so that she doesn’t get hit by taxes and maybe benefits a little from the tax break? Her salary for Aquaman is rumored to be about $1mil, and hopefully the royalties she’ll have coming in from other projects will balance some of it. Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong about her salary.
I wish he would stop trying to be Keith Richards. Please. Leave it to pros.
oh my god just hand over the money already! Is it really that difficult? I can’t stand Johnny/his team trying to either donate the money “in her name” or paint her as the big bad guy here just because she hasn’t donated the money yet. How can she donate it if she doesn’t have the money? GOOD GOD.
Also it pisses me off that she has to donate everything to charity now, if not people will go “See?! She was just a gold-digger all along!” I admire her for doing it and it shows where her heart is, but at the same time.. That is her money. If she wanted to keep every dime she should be able to do just that.
“Bottom line — Johnny will get a charitable tax write-off for $200k, Amber will write-off her $6.8 mil worth of donations … and they can both put the nightmare marriage and divorce behind them.” A sly way for TMZ to throw in more ‘poor Johnny had a rough marriage to this woman. I’m glad the nightmare is over for him’ shade.
I don’t know why he hasn’t suffered more of a backlash over this domestic abuse situation. Even Chris Brown got spanked more than he did…..
It makes me very sad and angry that there isn’t any real repercussion over his actions. I don’t get it
Well, he’s white and people think Amber’s a gold-digger so they don’t feel any sympathy for her. Jmo
Johnny will take 15 months to pay the money to Amber and after that her donation will be done very quickly according to the sources at E!
http://www.eonline.com/news/812998/amber-heard-and-johnny-depp-in-final-stages-of-divorce-settlement-source-says
15 months? he must be broke or at least there must be something really wrong with his finances after so much properties to sell recently and this installments plan
I feel like he must be doing it to exercise some last bit of control over her. If they were alimony payments where he could write it off and she would have to claim it as income, she would only be entitled to like 7-8 months of alimony, so I don’t think that’s necessarily the arrangement. Can a CA attorney give us their opinion on this? I really hope she doesn’t get taxed for it. It’s unlikely because it’s considered sort of like an asset transfer of mutual marriage holdings or whatnot, but I could very well be wrong.
Yes, why the instalment plan? Does Amber get taxed at a lower rate for little chunks, and a higher rate for a lump sum – so it actually benefits her?
The $200,000 he donated in her name should not count toward the $7 million — the donation was his decision independent of the law. She probably had to agree to $6.8 just to get him to sign the damn papers already.
$7 mill over 15 months, means that once a month for the next 15, he not only has to think about her, he gets to stew over the fact that he is handing half a million dollars over to her. I sincerely hope it infuriates him every month, and his friends all get sick of listening to him rant and rave over her, for over a year. Chances are good however that his friends are all sycophants and like-minded arseholes who will eagerly agree with him.
@Lady D So she’ll have to think and talk about him for the next 15 months too, right?
I guess it’s all about the money after all.
Fix your teeth you old pig.
He sounds extremely petty.
Calm down gals, Amber isnt gonna “do” any of you!! Depps fans number in the zillions, you will never stop them!!
