Johnny Depp Opens Up About Drugs, Debt, Divorce In Bonkers Interview
What"s the trouble with Johnny Depp?
It"s a question that fans and former fans have been asking for the past two years.
It"s also the intriguing title of a new Rolling Stone piece that purports to offer some answers.
Journalist David Rodrick spent three days — well, nights, as Depp keeps vampire hours — hanging out with the increasingly controversial actor, and it seems there was no topic that wasn"t up for discussion.
Depp"s massive debt and recent legal battles, his ugly divorce from Amber Heard, and his prodigious appetite for inebriants were all addressed in a wide-ranging conversation that helped to shed some light on Depp"s demons.
Is this Johnny showing the world his vulnerable side?
Or have we all just been taken in by a man who"s made a very nice living off his ability to manipulate the emotions of others by transforming himself?
Decide for yourself with this list of the most bonkers revelations from Johnny"s most candid interview to date.
1. One Mean Mom
“My mom was maybe the meanest human being I have ever met in my life,” Depp tells Rodrick at one point, adding that his mother often struck her and hurled objects at them.
2. A Traumatic Childhood
“There were irrational beatings,” says Depp. “Maybe it’s an ashtray coming your way. Maybe you’re gonna get clunked with the phone.”
3. A Complex Relationship
“She could be a real bitch on wheels,” Depp says of his mother, before noting that his first major purchase after gaining fame was a house for the woman who raised him.
4. An Attempt to Deflect?
Many have interpreted Depp’s comments about his enduring love of his mother despite the abuse she inflicted as an effort to deflect allegations that he was abusive to his former wife, Amber Heard.
5. "Slim" to "Scum"
Depp signed a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits him from talking about Heard — but Rodrick notes that a tattoo on Johnny’s hand that used to feature Heard’s nickname, Slim, has been altered to read, “Scum.”
6. Speaking of Abused Women…
Depp goes on to comment on the #MeToo movement and the accusations against “goliath Shrek thing” Harvey Weinstein. He’s no fan of Harvey, but his remarks aren’t exactly in perfect alignment with contemporary feminism, either.

Amber Portwood: $100,000 in Debt! Behind on Child Support!
Like so many of her Teen Mom OG co-stars, Amber Portwood supplements her TV income with a number of side hustles.
Amber has a clothing line; she makes paid appearances, and she’s even authored a memoir.
But apparently, all those side gigs aren’t paying the bills, because according to a new report from Radar Online, Amber has racked up some serious debt over the course of the past year.
Fans started to take an interest in Amber’s finances after Gary Shirley revealed on a recent episode of Teen Mom OG that Amber is way behind on her child support payments.
“She owes me $ 9,600,” Shirley told his wife Kristina Anderson.
“Amber is not there. She is a come and go kind of mom. I don’t think her head is in kid mode.”
During the episode, Amber claimed on Twitter that she’d made Gary rich, but it seems she’s having a bit of trouble fattening her own pockets.
According to Radar, Amber owes $ 134,919 in back taxes and seems to have no intention of repaying her debt.
She was first hit with a lien from the government back in February of 2016.
Thus far, it seems she’s made no effort to get out from under that sizable debt.
“There is a tax, but no release,” an official from the Clerk of Court for Madison County Court in Indiana tells Radar.
These days, Amber is pregnant with Andrew Glennon’s baby, and it seems her new baby daddy isn’t a whole lot better off financially.
Radar reports that Glennon was recently hit with a judgment from a collection agency for nearly $ 9,000.
The case was reportedly settled in August, but Glennon has yet to make a payment on the outstanding debt.
The sizable debts are surprising, as both Amber and Andrew have successful television careers (he’s a producer for WeTV’s Marriage Boot Camp), and Amber’s aforementioned side jobs have reportedly been profitable.
Teen Mom franchise salaries are typically in the mid-six figure range, so Amber must be doing some serious spending to land so deeply in the red.
We guess the situation will serve to bolster Farrah Abraham’s argument that Amber is the “worst mom.”

Tori Spelling: Headed to JAIL Over Mounting Debt Issues?!
As you may have heard, Tori Spelling is broke.
We don’t mean she’s “forced to sell her yacht to J.K. Rowling, Johnny Depp broke.”
(Fun fact: Johnny Depp literally sold his yacht to J.K. Rowling to cover his debts.)
We mean she’s “sell the house, default on the credit cards, one step away from welcoming you to Wal-Mart broke.”
Tori’s debt is massive, and sources close to the actress say her situation appears to be getting worse by the day.
She and husband Dean McDermott are currently buried beneath six figures in credit card debt and back taxes.
To make matters worse, McDermott owes thousands in back child support to his first wife, Mary Jo Eustace.
Tori and Dean have thus far managed to keep their heads above water, thanks in large part to help from Tori’s wealthy mother.
But child support and federal taxes are two of the worst kinds of debt, and the couple’s financial issues may soon become serious legal woes.
“All their debts, which just keep growing and growing, have put them so deep in the hole that it seems there may be no way out,” a source close to the couple tells Star magazine.
“But what’s truly scary is how much they owe the government. Having their money actually seized shows just how serious their problems are. Tori’s running out of options, and the walls are closing in.”
The tabloid spoke with a New York criminal prosecutor who’s prosecuted numerous cases in which wealthy debotrs wind up incriminating themselves with fraudulent claims:
“Should Spelling continue to default on paying back the back loan in full, plus interest, the courts have discretion on punishments in situations like that,” attorney Brooke Camhi tells Star.
“While not the likely outcome, jail time certainly would be an option afforded to the court. At the moment this is not a criminal case. But if there is any kind of fraud happening, Tori could do time…”
Yes, it seems Tori is not under immediate threat of criminal prosecution, and she’ll likely find a way to keep out of court.
(We really can’t overstate how wealthy Tori’s mother is.)
Her husband’s situation isn’t quite so encouraging.
McDermott’s child support debts have nearly landed him behind bars in the past, and it seems he’s done little to rectify the situation.
“He might have weaseled his way out of jail the first time, but if he doesn’t pay Mary Jo wahat he promised, he could still wind up behind bars,” says one insider.
Whatever the case, it seems the couple will continue to lean very heavily on the generosity of Tori’s mom, Candy Spelling.
“Candy pays [Tori’s] rent, private school tuition for the kids and even stepped up after Tori maxed out her credit cards to buy groceries,” an insider tells Star.
“I hear that Tori’s been begging Candy for a $ 700,000 loan to cover her debts, but she hasn’t agreed to that yet.”
We suppose you have to draw the line somewhere.
Most parents would’ve cut the cord a few million dollars ago, but everything is relative …

Tori Spelling Owes Bank Over $200,000; Falls Further into Debt
It seems like every time you turn around, Tori Spelling is facing another lawsuit for not paying someone an enormous amount of money.
And, well, that’s because it’s true.
For the past several months, Tori and her husband, Dean McDermott, have been hit with one lawsuit after another, all because they are absolutely incapable of being responsible with money.
We know that they’re in trouble with the IRS, since they reportedly haven’t paid taxes in years.
Last July, we learned that they owed the government over $ 700,000 in taxes, just for 2014.
In addition to their IRS issues, Tori and Dean have been sued by their credit card company, American Express.
Twice.
Back in October, Tori was ordered to pay her overdue balance of nearly $ 38,000, and then in November, she was sued for an additional $ 87,000.
On top of all that, Dean owes his ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, thousands of dollars in unpaid child support.
He owed her so much money that he nearly went to jail over the case.
Oh, and they also have five children, including a brand new baby they welcomed in March.
Sounds like things can’t get any worse, right?
If you think that, you obviously don’t have enough faith in Tori Spelling’s ability to fail.
Now, in addition to the tax stuff, the credit card lawsuits, and the serious issue with the child support, Tori and Dean owe their bank $ 220,000.
What a nightmare. A terrifying but completely preventable nightmare.
Tori and Dean have been dealing with City National Bank for a while now, since they neglected to pay off a $ 400,000 loan from 2010.
They still owe $ 185,714 on the loan, as well as around $ 3,000 extra in interest and late charges.
The bank also sued for an additional $ 17,149, which is the amount Tori overdrew back in September.
Remember back in college when you overdrew your account by a few dollars and freaked because of the overdraft fees?
These are obviously lessons that Tori has never learned.
Tori and Dean were required to come to court on May 22nd to respond to the lawsuit, but they didn’t, and that’s how the bank got their $ 220,000 default judgement.
It’s hard to calculate exactly how much debt these two are in right now, but it’s probably safe to say that it’s a whole, whole lot.
Those storage units hardly seem worth it now, huh, Tori?
