The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is long over but court documents the actor wanted to present to the jury have now been unsealed — and to say that Johnny made some explosive claims would be an understatement. Several reports who have verified the docs assert that both Amber and Johnny provided statements and other pieces of evidence to incriminate one another.
One of the most controversial allegations which didn’t make it to the trial was Johnny’s legal team arguing that Amber allegedly used to work as an escort at the beginning of her Hollywood career. During this time, they asserted that the “Aquaman” actress was also stripping, though the timeline of events was not disclosed.
Amber’s team, on the other hand, was said to have requested to show text messages between Johnny and his close friend Marilyn Manson, who he once gave “pointers” on how to deal with an “amber type scenario” if the rockstar — who is currently being sued for sexual misconduct — was to find himself in a volatile relationship with his significant other.
In one of the messages allegedly sent from Marilyn to Johnny, he wrote, “I got a serious police amber type scenarios with L’s family. I’m f**king stressing. I don’t know if you are back but I need asylum somewhere because I think the cops might be headed my way.”
The woman in question goes by the name of Lindsay, who Marilyn often referred to as “amber 2.0” in his conversations with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star. Throughout back-and-forth messages, Johnny acknowledged the situation and provided his assistance wherever he could, though it’s unclear how Amber’s legal advisers would have used this as part of the defamation case.
Other evidence the Texas native wanted the jury to hear was several of Johnny’s other legal cases, which included the assault lawsuit he recently settled with the location manager on the movie City of Lies, who accused him of getting physical during filming in 2017. A settlement was reached last month, per Deadline.

Disney was also alleged to have been furious with Johnny’s behavior on the set of the fifth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean — so much that they allegedly became irritated with his behavior throughout the entire time the movie stayed in production.
Judge Penney Azcarate chose not to include any of these requests to be heard or shown in court because she didn’t feel they supported enough evidence in relation to the defamation case Johnny had filed against Amber, claiming that her 2018 Washington Post about being a survivor of domestic abuse was indirectly calling him the aggressor. Johnny has always denied ever being abusive towards his ex, and that the claims made by Amber ultimately cost him his reputation.
