One of the most morbid claims of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was the possibility of seeing some of the famous friends of the former couple pass through the stand. In the end, the most media celebrity that ended up being called to testify was Kate Moss, the actor’s former girlfriend, but both parties mentioned in their respective testimonies such well-known individuals as the businessman Elon Musk, the actors James Franco and Paul Bettany or the singer Marilyn Manson.
Now a series of judicial documents have come to light, presented in the framework of the legal process that ended up giving victory to Johnny Depp, which collect the messages that the latter exchanged with the controversial musician.
In a conversation that dates back to 2016, Manson assured his friend that he was dealing with an “Amber 2.0” case with a a woman he referred to only as Lindsay and who is believed to be his current wife Lindsay Usich. I also asked you to please delete the message after reading it.
“Don’t put up with any of that shit…”, the actor replied. “I have been reading a lot of material on the subject and that sociopathic behavior is very real my brother. My ex zois an example from the book”.
In another message, Marilyn Manson implied that someone from the same woman’s family had alerted the authorities and that he was planning run away.
“I have a very serious case of Amber with the police and with L’s family. I’m very stressed. I don’t know if you’ve come back, but I need asylum somewhere because I think the police could be on their way”, he confessed in writing.
The correspondence between the two friends was not used as evidence during the six-week high-profile trial, in which Amber ended up being sentenced to pay him $,35 millions of dollars to your ex for damages. Depp’s lawyers are said to have specifically asked for him to be excluded because they were concerned he might harm their client under the principle of guilt by association.
Marilyn Manson faces his own legal problems after being accused of mistreatment by several of his former sexual and sentimental partners, such as actress Evan Rachel Wood. He continues to maintain his innocence, but it’s easy to understand why Johnny Depp’s defense didn’t see him as a strong player in proving that Amber had defamed him by writing an article portraying himself as a victim of domestic violence and described his experience, although without ever mentioning his name.
