When it was thought that the media scandal generated by the trial between Depp and Amber was over, the famous actor has revived the issue with some controversial statements.

Depp has shared new personal reflections on his love life and controversial relationship with Amber Heard in a recent interview with The Sunday Times. At 62, and after a long legal process that captured international attention, he spoke openly about his past, his mistakes and even his way of understanding love.

In his statements, Depp described himself as a naive person in matters of the heart and reflected on how certain people can manifest over time the emotional discomfort that one perceived at the beginning of the relationship. He even spoke about his childhood, which he described as lacking in terms of the love he received during it.

What happened with Johnny Depp and Amber?

The bond with Amber Heard, which began after meeting on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011 and led to marriage in 2015, ended in divorce the following year. However, the conflicts continued in the legal arena.

The most high-profile trial came in 2022, when a jury ruled in Depp’s favor in his defamation lawsuit against Heard, after she wrote an article in The Washington Post about domestic violence. Depp then stated that the ruling gave him his life back.

In the interview, he also spoke about the impact the court case had on his personal and professional relationships. He said that several people around him, including friends and colleagues, turned their backs on him during that period.

“There were people who betrayed me… very close people. But I understand those who did not dare to support me; for them, the scariest thing was to make the right decision,” he said.

He also criticized the hypocrisy of some who, he said, spoke ill of him behind his back while continuing to benefit from his success.

Although many moments in his life have been controversial, the actor claims to have no regrets. “I don’t regret anything, because what can we do about last week’s dinner? Absolutely nothing,” he concluded.
