Fresh off the revelations made by his ex-managers’ latest legal filings, Johnny Depp has decided that what he really needs now is an invasive Secret Service investigation into his conduct and public statements. It’s not enough that Depp’s ex-managers paint a portrait of a chronic liar, sh-tty boss and abusive husband. No. Depp had to suggest that an actor assassinate the current president. He did so at the Cinemageddon stage at Glastonbury, which is where he was supposed to be giving a little introductory speech ahead of a screening of The Libertine. In his speech, Depp said:
“I think [Donald] Trump needs help. There are a lot of dark places he could go. I’m not insinuating anything – By the way, this is going to be in the press. It will be horrible. I like that you are all a part of it….When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? I want to qualify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it has been a while and maybe it is time.”
The Secret Service opens investigations with these kinds of public statements, correct? I can’t wait to see TMZ try to spin a Secret Service investigation into Depp’s favor. As for the threat Depp is making… it’s bad and it should be condemned by everybody, of course. Just as Ted Nugent’s comments should have been condemned far and wide and Nugent should never be taken seriousl-oh, he was invited to the Trump White House? Nevermind.
Also: I looked at some of the headlines and this is already being exhaustively covered by the conservative media. To those conservative journalists: please don’t refer to Johnny Depp as a “Hollywood liberal.” He’s not. He’s a drunk scarf monster and an abusive jackass. Actual liberals inside and outside of Hollywood don’t want anything to do with him.
Hi @SecretService, we have video evidence of Johnny Depp threatening to assassinate President Trump. Please do something! pic.twitter.com/CRvnpzZsef

I thank you all, I am laughing so hard!
I’m just here to say this entire thread made my day. Was having a shitty weekend but am now laughing so hard I think I might rupture something.
This is an embarrassment but if the Secret Service are going to investigate him then they need to do some work on who’s allowed in the WH.
But I think they’re a little busy.
Also – did they ever investigate Ted Nugent? Because he’s made some really disturbing comments regarding HRC and Obama.
Yes, the Secret Service did speak to that disgusting Ted Nugent, and concluded that he “really didn’t mean anything by it.” It’s appalling that they only slapped him on the wrist, considering he said, and I quote “If Obama gets re-elected, at this time next year I will be dead or in jail.” Charming.
He exemplifies the worst of humanity, along with his comrade Trump.
Depp is desperate to change the narrative so he went for the obvious. He is truly pathetic,.
Right now, literally, on CNN, the lead in is: “First Madonna, then Kathy Griffin….now Johnny Depp… Have they finally “Jump the Shark”?” Ppffbbttt!
He is disgusting and a POS but everyone always make an excuse for him, the amount of people always defending him and his abuse addiction and biphobia campaign is beyond my comprehension.
these people are not helping things at all. It only emboldens his supports to use such talk to help the Orange one. Those of us that oppose Trump need to fight dirty; but not like this. Because Johnny is not a spokesperson for any cause. He has never been political. So please don’t let him and those like him be the voice of the Resistance. We can do better. We have to do better.
+1 – thanks for nothing, Johnny – just giving the other side ammunition.
Exactly. This is a stupid statement without any wit. It does not help the “liberals” at all, now they will also bring this up when referring to the opposition. And on a day that they had the high ground due to the health care bill!.
It is interesting to see how suddenly a lot of conservatives on twitter suddenly brand him as a domestic abuser. But before Amber was a gold digger who made it all up….Cannot win with all this hypocrisy out there.
Agreed. This is like stupid Kathy Griffin.
To me this is actually worse.
I’m interested in what you mean by ‘fighting dirty’. I’m glad you agree that Depp and Griffin did disgusting things to show their opposition to the POTUS.
A once very interesting actor in complete free fall, mirroring a piece of crap like Ted Nugent, who regularly made grotesque threats against President Obama.
It’s like in recent years, he’s lost all his brain cells. Just a mess that keeps getting messier.
That last picture looks like a promo still for the season finale of ‘Intervention’.
Back off Republicans and right wingers! We were boycotting him first!! Bunch of copycats.
😂😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏⭐️
Dude just keep sinking to lower lows… does no one advise this jackass that maybe talking about assassinating the president is probably not a good idea? Oh wait, these are the same folks that covered up his abusive wife beating ways… smh…
Maybe he’s trying to win back our love by threatening to murder potus…? What a loon.
My thought too!
I don’t think it’s working.
I doubt that JD cares what other people think about him. Plus, he still has a lot of supporters.
Well, Since he Obviously has spent more money than he can afford, I’m pretty sure he cares a lot about What people think of him, if he wants to stay relevant in Hollywood.
He cares what people thinks, otherwise he wouldn’t be doing the only thing people can stand him in. pirate movies for pay.
I haven’t seen one since the crappy 2nd
I think he might be trying to distract from the receipts provided by his former business managers. They have released emails that show he knew he was in financial ruin and that he was having “family issues” that might have involved physical abuse.
People were up in their arms about the Kathy G photoshoot now I’m curious if this idiot will have any bad repercussions because this speech or if white male privilege will keep saving him like always.
Ps: if there will be a repercussion please let it be him out of fantastic beasts
Yes! I want him replaced so badly.
I would love to never see or hear about Depp again. But truthfully I don’t think the repercussions from his words will amount to much. It was the visual of the bloody Trump head that did Kathy in.
Just goes to show that being anti-Trump doesn’t automatically make you a decent person.
+10000000
Also it was like he made this idiotic speech to take the attention off his old managers confirming that his staf and inner circle knew that he was abusive and everybody covered his domestic violence lying and denying.
That doesn’t make the criticism of people who are pro-Trump less valid though. They were some of the loudest, most determined defenders of his abuse of Amber Heard and they have no problems voting for/supporting a “president” who publicly called for his political opponent to be shot. They don’t really have much of a moral high ground over Depp on this one, but I’m sure they’ll pretend they do.
How did you reach the conclusion that conservatives/Trump supporters defended JD? In my experience, these are not necessarily the people that follow Hollywood gossip at all.
Believe me, they did. I follow That Side to keep track and stay informed on what they’re up to. And even on sites that aren’t specifically for promoting rightwing propaganda but still cover celebrity gossip and news events, you can often click on people’s usernames and look at their comment history and profiles.
Don’t know how much Johnny actually knows about John Wilkes Booth. He was not only a vile racist, but more in line with Depp, he was a narcissist.
If you like history, there is a great scholarly but entertaining book about Booth, AMERICAN BRUTUS. It allows a reader insight into how someone comes to believe that murder is justified.
Well thank you, I was scanning comments to make sure we got in the mention of John Wilkes Booth. So, Johnny, here’s your answer: April 14, 1865 was the last time an actor assassinated a president. (Lincoln died early the following morning.)
Johnny Depp is both an actor AND a liar, and he’s not too bright either.
I want this book, and I shall have this book.
I was always curious about Booth’s means and motives of assassinating a president, while leaping to the stage.
What a weird way to go.
What I found interesting is that the Daily Mail commenters were some of his biggest supporters during and after his divorce from Amber Heard. They were constantly smearing her at every turn, while lavishing Depp with praise.
After this, they have now turned on him. And many are saying they believe he abused Amber. It just goes to sow… You can get away with abusing your wife, but don’t go after a rich, powerful man, whom conservatives like, no matter how vile he is.
Well the DM is a right-winger paper and most of the readers love Trump. They even hate on Angelina Jolie because she wants to help refugees etc.
Yeah I know it’s right wing. I just thought it was a sad commentary on society’s standards and tolerance of violence against women.
Like you didn’t believe her when she was crying about being abused. But now that he’s insulted a politician you like, you’ve decided that you believe he’s capable of abuse.
I agree with that.
WTAF? This is so not cool Depp.
Well that’s one way to get out of your Disney contract…
Dude be trippin’…be then when is he ever coherent?
Meh. I thought we were living in the post PC era where free speech was not followed by liberal ourage? You cant have it both ways. If the president and his peopke expect me to suck it up when people make “offensive jokes” about rape, gender, racism and even disability they can suck it up when a coked up actor jokes about killing the most protected man in the world. They made this world, they can now f-king live in it. I have no intention of going high to their low.
That’s so defeatist, though. So the solution is just to accept the sh*ttyness of the world and respond with more sh*ttyness? Whatever happened to making the world a better place?
If you want to spend your days typing out the lyrics to MJs Heal The World be my guest. Of course thats been done ad neuseum and only resulted in a skewed standard that shields the most protected man in the world but leaves the most vulnerable exposed to “free speech”, but go for it. I’m going to spend my time protecting those who discarded “political correctness” as the culture now tells them to do but are attacked by that culture because they happen to be on the other side of politics. I detest double standards.
Don’t talk to me like I’ve done nothing of substance for the resistance, because I have. Forgive me for thinking adding fuel to the deplorable fire by “joking” about assassinating someone is useless f*ckery we don’t have time for.
I understand to a certain degree, but unfortunately when you are in the opposition you have to win people over. And it is easier to not give the others points of attack, but to wait for their mistakes.
I hear you, Craven. Going high when they go low isn’t working. It’s frustrating. And honestly– who hasn’t thought about the possibility of Trump being assasinated? These comment threads are usually full people saying things like “I’ve never felt such hatred in my life, I’ve never had such violent thoughts, etc.” I don’t love JD but I don’t think he’s making a threat. I think it was stupid to say what he said, but he expressed feelings many of us (myself included) have been struggling with. Like most people, JD is complicated. He’s an abuser and an addict, but he also has a history of being politically outspoken and he’s far more intelligent than we give him credit for. I’m sure he knows about John Wilkes Booth. I’m not excusing what he said, but it’s not so black and white. I’ve had hypothetical conversations about this with my friends and family– that doesn’t mean I would ever commit or condone murder. He said it aloud from a public platform. That’s the only difference. Besides, everyone knows that the best assassins are male models.
Lord of the scarves said one true thing “I lie for a living.”
lol Lord of the Scarves needs to be an animated dancing song, stat.
I wonder if some of the bros and Bimbos who were defending him over the abuse against Amber Heard will cape for him now. Most of his apologists and the people discrediting and slut-shaming Amber Heard the most were MRA/anti-feminist/anti-pc types.
He is such an idiot.
File this into the “you’re not helping” pile.
+100
Amber Heard must be eternally grateful that she is no longer part of this circus.
Word
He should be investigated by the Secret Service without any doubt. And punished to learn his lesson and to deter other lunatics. Whether people like Drumpf or not, he is the president of the US. These lunatics are playing disrespectfully with hundreds of loyal people working hard to protect their country. It’s disgusting. I read the story on the BBC this morning and couldn’t believe that Depp actually implied that, in the public eye.
Today, in ‘STFU’.
Wish that was an actual channel or newsletter. I’d read/watch it.
I just want to send him a bar of soap, and of course someone to teach him how to use it.
Hahahaha!!! This x’s 1,000,000!!!
Disgust with Johnny Depp may bring Dems and Repubs together.
Man is he burnt, fried, gonzo. Just look at him.
Right!? I’m surprised he’s not fat.
That’s next!
Someone is getting a visit from Secret Service! Ever notice when they visit, the people don’t even let politics come off their lips. They become suddenly shut up and neutral. They be scary.
Watching “where the buffalo roam” and “fear and loathing”… I really think he took the hunter Thompson character to heart.
I lean conservative and never thought amber was a gold digger. I totally understood depp’s appeal even that late in the game.
He has really lost it now. And I agree with a lot of the other posters, this has everything to do with changing the conversation. But he needs to change to something positive… This just makes him look more unhinged.
1865, John Wilkes Booth, Abraham Lincoln.
So when Kathy Griffin had trump’s head, everyone here thought it was funny. When johnny depp says something, people are outraged. Could it be because she’s a woman and she’s liked? Double standard much?
I didn’t support Griffin though all this outrage over everything gets on my nerves. I supported her right to freedom of expression but thought it wasn’t all that creative. Depp is a disgusting facsimile of the Weekend at Bernie’s corpse covered in sweat and scarves who is trying hard to be infamous and relevant He can say what he wants but he is still a violent misogynist junkie scumbag.
No, most people here didn’t say what Kathy griffin did was funny. People just said that the level of outrage over it from the right was hypocritical and over the top, but agreed that she shouldn’t have done it. Depp has a history of violence though.
Sounds like he’s losing it, wow
Looking at him now, it is inconceivable how this man with such obvious addled countenance was once dashing and quite handsome. He looks as if he lost his way after stepping off the short bus.
The really disturbing thing to me is the news report said the audience he was talking to was cheering his drug-addled lunacy. That makes it more than just him that has a screw loose. And Hollywood supports him big time. Just checked IMDb, his dance card is full. What will it take to end this guy’s career already? Fake Trump head covered in blood? Nope, nope already ended one. Catch him abusing women? Nope, no one cares. Threaten a sitting President? Hell no, line him up with another film with a $20 mil salary. They should base the next superhero off his invincible profile. Marble’s Horse’sArse. That needs some work.
He’s never evolved past the age of 25. It’s embarrassing.
I see he chose to wear the “look at me! I’m a dairy farmer from Mississippi” John Shooter hat from Secret Window.
Amber scaped him just in time, because it looks like his free fall goes faster and faster
He’s such an embarrassment for “liberals”, no one wants anything to do with this pr#ck
Druggie.
I’ll stop eyerolling when a deaf painter manages to paint the noise
of my b*lls falling on a scarves floor of a pretentious abusive rocker that never existed.
(semi-quote)
I dont think he said anything worse than what’s been said on these threads. I also dont think he was serious.
“The Secret Service opens investigations with these kinds of public statements, correct?”
Really????
I had no clue.
Whatever happened to free speech. Seriously, the US has basically turned into Russia.
A policed state.
