Johnny Depp has had an extensive acting career, however, this rise to fame has also been accompanied by major controversies that could jeopardize his tenure as one of the most important artists in the Hollywood industry.
And the thing is that the protagonist of films such as Pirates of the Caribbean or Sweeney Todd: the devilish barber of Fleet Street has not stopped give something to talk about during these years because of their irreverence.
Thus, although this has been a factor in his personality that has made him use of thousands of fans around the world, it has also served as an element that has made him the target of multiple controversies.
Therefore, below we recount the three biggest scandals in which he has been involved.
It was in the 90s when Kate Moss met Johnny Depp, they met at the Taba bar. According to existing records, George Wayne, a journalist for Vanity Fair, would have been in charge of introducing the two artists.
It is said that Wayne saw Kate enter with Naomi Campbell herself and, since Johnny was at a table in the background with his friends, meeting between them was the most natural thing that seemed to the journalist.
Months later, the couple would announce their engagement during a charity gala, but something that began to attract the attention of the world was the type of relationship that lovers had.
Journalist Maureen Callahan described in her book Champagne Supernova that both Kate and Johnny lived their love between parties, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and sex.
But without a doubt, one of the most controversial moments happened in one of the rooms of the New York hotel The Markse where in September 1994 Depp and Moss destroyed the room where they were staying.
And it was Roger Daltrey, a member of The Who who called on the authorities in addition to saying: “On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 1,” said Daltrey. It took them a long time; The Who could have done the job in just a minute.”
Later, the police arrived at the hotel and the photograph of Johnny Depp being arrested, wearing glasses and a wool hat, quickly went viral. Rumors soon emerged and it was even said that even the interpreter of Edward Scissorhands had assaulted Kate.
The actor came out to deny the rumors and among the various explanations he gave, he said that everything was the fault of an armadillo or that he was chasing a giant cockroach. Even so, he took care of the expenses.
For 2014, Johnny Depp made headlines again, as during the Hollywood Fulm Awards the actor took the stage to present the award for documenta l Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.
But the winning film did not get the attention, as the artist who played Jack Sparrow completely captured the moment by appearing misaligned, wobbly and unable to speak properly.
Giving a speech that was sometimes inaudible, the protagonist of The Lone Ranger also threw some swear words that made the television network that broadcast the event take the decision to censor it.
“This is the strangest microphone I've ever seen... I'm not very good at this kind of speech... Shit... it's one of those nights!” , the artist excused himself, who became the center of all eyes and where many wondered if he was drunk or under the influence of any substance.
One of the most recent controversies in Johnny Depp's life was due to the public complaint made by his former partner Amber Heard a few years ago when accusing him of violence domestic.
The actress also accused him in a Washington Post column and, following the publication in the newspaper, Depp, who denied hitting him, filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard and claimed $50 million in damages. She, in turn, filed a defamation lawsuit in which she asked for 100 million dollars.
The first session of the trial is expected to last six weeks and is televised, it began last Tuesday with the presence of Depp and Heard.
Amber's lawyers have argued that the allegations referred to in the article are completely true and that she also has the right to express what she experienced while being in a couple with the actor.
While those in Deep allege that the false allegations of domestic violence that Heard had a “devastating” effect on the movie star's career.
