More details into Johnny Depp's contentious defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard have surfaced.

Two months after Heard was found liable of defaming Depp in a highly publicized courtroom battle in Virginia, more than six thousand pages of pretrial documents were unsealed and made public, shedding light on matters that attorneys for both sides wanted to exclude from the jury. Amongst the court filings included shocking allegations from Depp and Heard, as well as never-before-seen text messages from the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.

Johnny Depp's Attorneys Wanted to Submit Amber Heard's Nudes Into Evidence

In court documents obtained and reviewed by The Daily Beast and the New York Post, Heard's attorneys argued to bar Depp's legal team from introducing "nude pictures of Amber Heard" into evidence for the televised trial, saying that it fell under "irrelevant personal matters." Other things they sought to exclude from the jury included a video from a reality show featuring Heard's sister Whitney Henriquez and a history of their "past romantic relationships."

Amber Heard Accused of Working as an "Escort" Before Meeting Johnny Depp

Per the unsealed documents, Heard's attorneys also argued to exclude "Amber's brief stint as an exotic dancer years before she met Mr. Depp" from the trial. In the filing, her lawyers claimed that Depp's legal team was seeking to introduce it as evidence "to frivolously and maliciously suggest or imply that Ms. Heard was at one time an escort," according to The Daily Beast. 

Marilyn Manson Texted Johnny Depp About "Amber 2.0"

A text exchange alleged to be between Depp and longtime friend Marilyn Manson from 2016 were included in unsealed documents reviewed by Newsweek, in which the controversial singer referred to now-wife Lindsay Usich as "an amber 2.0." Per the outlet, Manson texted the actor that Usich "pulled an amber on me" by seeking a restraining order—something Heard did after filing for divorce from Depp.

Texts from the filing showed that Depp then advised Manson to "not to give her what she wants," adding, "Sociopathic behavior... it is f--king real, my brother!! My ex-c--t is goddamn TEXTBOOK!!"

In a separate text, Manson also told Depp that there were "serious police amber type scenarios with L's family," per docs obtained by Newsweek. "I'm f--king stressing," he reportedly wrote. "I don't know if you are back but I need asylum somewhere because I think the cops might be headed my way."

Johnny Depp's Lawyers Wanted to Exclude His Texts With Marilyn Manson in Trial Against Amber Heard

According to Newsweek, the Sweeney Todd star's attorneys sought to exclude his texts with Manson from the trial, arguing in the unsealed court documents that it would "smear Mr. Depp under a guilty by association theory." The filing reportedly read, "Ms. Heard's attempt to insert Marilyn Manson into this case lacks foundation and is wholly speculative and constitutes improper character evidence."

Manson has been publicly accused of sexual abuse by multiple women, including his ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood. For his part, the rocker (born Brian Warner) has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "horrible distortions of reality" in a statement released last year. In March, he filed a defamation lawsuit against Wood over her claims of abuse.

Amber Heard's Attorneys Claimed Johnny Depp Suffered From Erectile Dysfunction

In unsealed court documents reviewed by Page Six and Newsweek, Heard's lawyers alleged the 21 Jump Street alum suffered from erectile dysfunction and that "such condition absolutely is relevant to sexual violence, including Mr. Depp's anger and use of a bottle to rape Amber Heard."

While taking the stand during the six-week trial in Virginia, Depp denied what he called Heard's "heinous accusations of violence, sexual violence, that she's attributed to me." He added, "I don't think anyone enjoys having to split themselves open and tell the truth, but there are times when one simply has to because it's gotten out of control. Horrible. Ridiculous. Humiliating. Ludicrous. Painful. Savage. Unimaginably brutal. Cruel and all false."

During his testimony, Depp also denied allegations of sexual battery and physical abuse made by Heard.

I'm sorry but how anyone can look at the information in those documents and not believe that he wasn't lying and manipulating his way through that trial just as much as anyone else was is willing themselves into not seeing the truth. There was dishonesty, manipulation, false narratives, and perhaps nuggets of truth buried in mountains of lies coming from both sides of the aisle on this one, and yet only one of them ended up going down for it in the end. 

The amount of celebrities who're unliking his victory celebration post in response to all this...yeah. There was some real shady shit on his end that he absolutely succeeded in getting wiped from the testimony, and that is really fucking disturbing honestly. Not coming in here to call Amber innocent either, had she had a team as good as Depp's it's possible she'd have successfully gotten some shit covered up too. They're both trash, really. 

But it's clear that what was heard in that courtroom was not the full story. People are so unwilling to accept that this actor they love and adore was capable of being a shitty person too, and he managed to ride that all the way back into public acceptance when really he's just avoiding the punishments that he's also due.

absolutely vile

He’s vile and an abuser and I’ve hated that he was painted as nothing but the victim and got the whole world’s support while Amber was thrown to the wolves. Not saying she’s innocent and he’s definitely a victim of her abuse as well, but he’s NO BETTER. I love how his fans paid to unseal these documents only to find out how vile he is.
