🧵A thread on Johnny Depp’s violent past, mistreatment of employees, arrests, violence in relationships and more. https://t.co/0q3up9jVQf

When 24 year old Depp couldn’t break his contract with “21 Jump Street” he reportedly became an “ego monster”, set objects on fire and allegedly punched the producers. https://t.co/44Vj9GJAeF

In 1989, Depp assaulted a hotel security guard. He got arrested and charged with assault. Telephones in the lobby were also damaged. He pled guilty, however the charges were dropped. https://t.co/CSQamqKqZR

In 1999, Depp got arrested for threatening to smash a photographer with a wooden plank. https://t.co/9E3tJyUXmY

In 2012, Depp was sued by Robyn Ecker, a disabled woman, who alleged that the actor ordered his security guards to assault her. She stated that they grabbed her and restrained her wrists. They took her phone away so she was unable to call the police. https://t.co/iLOSJKzXZc

The woman specified that the guards were following orders from Depp, who allegedly instructed them to throw the woman to the ground, drug her around and expose her buttocks. She suffered injuries and went to the hospital. https://t.co/fNN6gmtaqj

In 2018, Depp was sued by Gregg “Rocky” Brooks, who alleged that Depp screamed at him “Who the fuck are you? You have no right to tell me what to do.” and punched Brooks in the ribs twice. Johnny confirmed this in an interview. https://t.co/qxE6Qgj5pK

In 2018, Depp was also sued by his bodyguards, who alleged that they were forced to protect the actor “from himself and his vices”, were denied breaks and meals, had to get involved with illegal substances and work overtime without getting paid for it. https://t.co/Ot4si7ElsM

Josh Drew testified that Depp violently charged into his apartment, while screaming and aggressively spitting on his face. Depp’s bodyguards were also present, which made Drew unsure of what the outcome would be and if he was safe. https://t.co/n7MOi8FrNe

Elizabeth Marz testified that Depp charged towards her while screaming and swinging a large bottle. She was extremely scared and ran away to hide from him. https://t.co/qbE9ra1d8F

Ellen Barkin who had a sexual relationship with Depp, testified that he was extremely controlling and always demanded to know where she was and who she was with. She added that he was verbally abusive towards his employees and called his assistant “pig”. https://t.co/AOOPriYfLK

Barkin testified that Depp threw a bottle of wine at her direction and added that she wasn’t shocked by it because Depp always had an air of violence around him. When asked if Depp can be charming, she replied with “Most abusers are”. https://t.co/6d6vRVmPDZ

Ellen Barkin testified that Depp gave her an illegal sedative and then asked her to have sex with him. Depp treated her so badly that her family did not allow him near her. https://t.co/rKVsrpTE3t

In 1994. Depp, 31, got in a fight with then girlfriend Kate Moss who was only 20. He completely destroyed their hotel room, having to pay nearly $10k in damages and was arrested. Kate was in the middle of the room, completely shaken up. https://t.co/jEw3qNU2nP

Depp told RollingStone that he gave Moss severe beatings. It is telling that a violent man though it’d be funny to say he beats up his much younger girlfriend. In the book “Champagne Supernovas”, it is said that Kate was afraid of Depp’s moods. https://t.co/Lkq1DPxx1Y

In 1989, 26 year old Depp started dating Winona Ryder who was 17. He moved her to a state where the age of consent was under 18 and her parents confirmed that he tried to marry her. He tried marrying his underage girlfriend at the start of their relationship. https://t.co/AB4VJkDgGk

Winona said in an interview that she checked herself into a mental hospital when she and Depp broke up. In another interview she mentioned his violence, saying that the boyfriend she had at 18 (Johnny) would smash everything. https://t.co/zKSMMWJcP6

Jennifer Gray, who dated Depp, said that he was crazy, jealous and paranoid. He described Depp’s behaviour “There was some heat. It was a fucking bonfire. It was literally like, ‘Are you fucking kidding me? I’ve never seen a guy like this.’” https://t.co/19Z9yja1cz

Vanessa Paradis, Depp’s former girlfriend and mother of their children, said in an old interview that Johnny gets impulsive and intolerable and she needs to calm him down. He just needs a spark and he explodes. He hits things and gets tantrums. https://t.co/O92l4VJmJK

When Johnny and Vanessa broke up, he gave her $150 million. They were not married. It was not a divorce settlement. Sources say he paid her to “keep her quiet”. Articles and magazines in 2012 wrote about their “heated arguments”. https://t.co/6EovuSBV0y

Allegedly, Depp’s kids do not support him and have not been seen with him in years. Their mother said he was violent and he gave her $150 million while magazines were discussing their fights. He has a history of NDAs and paying people to stay quiet.

Tracy Jacobs, Depp’s former agent of 30 years, testified that Depp had a “fundamental issue with anger”. She added that he was unprofessional, turned up to the set hours late and people didn’t want to work with him because of his behaviour. https://t.co/1w6HXMayR8

A lawyer that was once hired by Amber Heard during their marriage, testified that Johnny Depp was very mean to her on a phone call, called her misogynistic slurs and fired her. https://t.co/5yycksT4Ri

Johnny Depp has supported many pedophiles and abusers. He defended child molestor Roman Polanski, serial rapist Harvey Weinstein, befriended pedophilia advocate Allen Ginsbeg and is best friends with Marilyn Manson. https://t.co/hGgnz64tCe

Manson is a violent man, with accusations from dozens of women and is suing his victim Evan Rachel Wood for defamation, using Depp’s playbook. This is the man that Johnny chooses to be best friends with, and he is the godfather of Johnny’s daughter. https://t.co/Hsl9uMckDu

Abusers don’t need a history of violence or allegations for their accuser to be believed. While most DV victims do not come forward anyway, it is also not very uncommon for abusers to only be abusive towards one of their partners.

However it would be false to say that Johnny Depp does not have a history of violence. He has a long history of lawsuits, arrests, assaults, fights and abusive treatment of his employees. https://t.co/Dfs8Hhfixj

Destroying property and smashing objects around a partner is by definition emotional abuse. It is a threat and an intimidation tactic. Getting arrested for being violent around a partner is again, emotional abuse. And it is very harmful to deny this fact.
