Johnny Depp on abuse accusations: ‘It hurts’

Johnny Depp says he feels like he’s being treated like a beast after being accused of violence by former wife Amber Heard.

Heard accused him of domestic violence during a bitter divorce battle, and he became embroiled in a lawsuit against his former management, which was settled in July. Meanwhile, a legal battle with a location manager who accuses him of violence on the set of shelved film City of Lies (which he denies) rattles on.

“It hurts,” Depp said in an interview.

“To harm someone you love? As a kind of bully? No, it didn’t, it couldn’t even sound like me. Initially, I just kept my mouth shut, you know?” he said.

He described Hollywood as a vile circus. “Ultimately, the truth will come out in all of this and I will be standing on the right side of the roaring rapids,” he added. —
