Judge Judy Says Bad Form, Johnny Depp for Cracking Trump Assassination Joke

Johnny Depp Jokes About Killing Donald Trump
Say this about Johnny Depp:
He knows how to distract the public from a critically-lambasted movie.
Speaking at the Glastonbury Festival in England on Thursday, Depp was introducing his film The Libertine when he asked “Can you bring Trump here?”
When the crowd started to boo, Depp quickly went ahead and explained himself… digging a hole so big that the Secret Service may come by soon to check on what’s inside of it.
“No, no, no, you misunderstood completely. I think he needs… help,” Depp said next, adding:
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
The audience reversed course and cheered over this question, but Depp may have sense that he went too far once the words left his mouth.
“I want to clarify, I’m not an actor. I lie for a living,” the multiple-time Oscar nominee said.
Depp was, of course, referencing John Wilkes Booth, the actor who murdered President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
You can watch him make these dumb, borderline illegal remarks below:
It is against the law to threaten the life of a sitting President of the United States.
Kathy Griffin learned this lesson the hard and moronic way a few weeks ago when she found herself under investigation for posing with the severed head of Donald Trump.
(Note to Celebrities: If you wish to make a political impact, do not do this. Do not do anything like this.
Maybe draw attention to the dangerous health care bill the Senate has been hiding from the public and may very well pass in the near future instead.)
Depp has been open for awhile about his disapproval of Trump.
Last year, he portrayed Trump in a satirical biopic for Funny or Die, referring to The Donald as “a brat” and predicting he would be “the actual last President of the United States” if elected.
And then he was elected.
About a month ago, Depp then appeared to be very drunk when he went on Ellen and rambled about a number of topics… including his disdain for Trump.
This hasn’t been the best past few months for Johnny Depp.
He was accused last year of domestic violence against Amber Heard.
It’s become increasingly clear that the star has a spending problem and may be on the verge of going broke.
He also keep insisting on wearing that stupid hat.
Will Depp actually be arrested for these Trump comments? No, of course not.
But he has likely given conservatives another talking point, another cause to rally around, another reason to point to liberals as out of touch elites who are going to historic lengths to obstruct Trump.
In other words: he’s hurting his own cause here. And he’s coming across like an idiot.
The goal isn’t to see Donald Trump dead, people. It’s to ensure his horrible policies do not get passed and to hold him accountable for his words and his actions.
Let’s focus.
Johnny Depp Makes Controversial Joke About an Actor Assassinating the President
Johnny Depp apparently didn’t learn a damn thing from Kathy Griffin … he just went and made a joke about killing President Trump. Depp was speaking to a crowd at the Glastonbury Festival Thursday when he starting talking Trump, saying … “I…

Johnny Depp: Caught Lying to Police About Amber Heard Abuse?
Johnny Depp isn’t having the greatest 2017.
Now, everything is relative, and Depp still owns a private island, so it could be a lot worse, but it seems as though the actor’s personal life and financial future are unraveling at the same that his box office popularity has hit the skids.
These days, Depp is broke by Hollywood standards, having squandered the truly astonishing amount of cash he raked in from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and a number of other successful films.
The revelations about Depp’s wild spending have mostly come from an increasingly contentious lawsuit against his former management group, TMG, who’s defending itself against claims of mishandling Johnny’s funds.
The stories of Depp’s lavish spending (Dude doesn’t even deny spending $ 30,000 a month on wine.) are mostly good for a laugh, but there’s darker stuff coming out of the court documents filed by TMG, as well.
As you’ve likely heard, Depp was accused of physically assaulting Amber Heard during the former couple’s messy, high-profile divorce.
(Yes, Johnny has spent a LOT of time in court recently.)
The folks at TMG claim they were kept abreast of just about everything that went on in Depp’s personal life, and not only are they claiming that Heard’s allegations are legit, they’re also dropping some new bombshells their clients handling of the situation.
Court documents filed this week, Depp’s management team “was informed well after the fact through communications with various house staff and security that Depp had been extremely volatile and sometimes ‘gotten physical’ with Heard.
“Mandel was also later informed that Depp had violently kicked Heard during an incident that took place in or around 2014.”
The documents also seem to confirm the authenticity of text messages Heard sent to a friend in which she describes the abuse she endured from Depp:
“Depp and his long-time assistant publicly denied the messages and outrageously accused Heard of manufacturing them,” reads one filing.
“TMG is informed and believes that Depp knew full well that the text messages were genuine, but pressured and berated his assistant to falsely challenge the texts publicly.”
In some of the most damning papers so far, TMG claims that Depp lied to unspecified “authorities” regarding an investigation involving his family:
The docements claim that while he was being “interviewed by public authorities relating to a serious and troubling issue involving his family … [Depp] knowingly lied to public authorties in several respects in connection with these matters” and his actions “marked lack of concern for certain serious family issues.”
When a TMG employee approached Depp about “certain cash expenditures that were related to a serious family matter,” the manager was told by Depp to “mind his own f–king business.”
We’re beginning to think Depp’s current public image woes go a lot deeper than his choice of film projects.

Johnny Depp: I May Be Broke, But I Will NOT Sell My Jet!
In case you haven’t heard, Johnny Depp is broke.
Mind you, we don’t mean he’s munching on mayonnaise sandwiches and cliping coupons.
Hell, he probably hasn’t sold a single scarf or turquoise ring.
But Depp is Hollywood broke, which means he’s somehow managed to squander the fortune he made doing Keith Richards impressions in a succession of increasingly unpopular Disney movies.
The revelations about Depp’s dire financial straits come to us courtesy of court documents from a pair of very contentious lawsuits.
The legal wrangling began when Depp sued his former management team, TMG, alleging that the group mishandled his funds and failed to warn him that he was spending himself into relative poverty.
TMG counter-sued, insisting that Depp spent decades enjoying a ludicrously and unsustanably lavish lifestyle.
The group offered up a number of examples of Depp’s spendthrift ways, pointing to his massive collection of antique cars, and habit of spending $ 30,000 a month on wine.
Now, a series of emails between Depp and TMG head Joel Mandel have been entered into evidence, and they don’t do much to support Depp’s portrayal of himself as a humble thespian blindsided by his own financial woes:
In the emails, Mandel warned Depp to “take it easy on holiday spending” and told him they need to meet to “look realistically at income and expenses and work together on how to make sure that these are back in balance,”
Depp wrote back, basically being like, “nah”:
“Doing my very best on holiday spending but there is only so much i can do, as i need to give my kiddies and famille [sic] as good a Christmas as possible, obviously within reason,” the actor replied.
Depp went on to (probably sarcastically) offer to sell some belongings:
“What else can i do??? you want me to sell some art??? i will. you want me to sell something else??? sure… what???” Depp wrote.
“i got bikes, cars, property, books, paintings and some semblance of a soul left. where would you like me to start???”
Psssht … it’s so non-goth to admit you have a soul.
Tim Burton is probably pissed.
Mandel responded that the best thing Depp could do would be to sell his private jet.
Johnny wasn’t having that:
“A commercial flight with paparazzis in tow would be a f—ing nightmare of monumental proportions,” he wrote.
“I don’t like being in this situation, but there wasn’t a whole lot of choice, as THE RUM DIARY was a sacrifice we knew would be happening and the last proper paycheck was PUBLIC ENEMIES. i will do my best, joel.”
To be fair, Johnny is absolutely right.
Flying commercial is a nightmare, and we say that having never set foot on a private jet.
Can you imagine going from a Gulfstream to United?
If the compulsory beating from the cabin crew didn’t make you weep, then the shrink-wrapped organ transplants those people call meals would definitely do the trick.

Johnny Depp: Did His Sister Spend All His Money?!
Over the recent holiday weekend, you may have seen the occasional headline about Pirates of the Caribbean 5 making a “boatload of cash” or finding “box office gold.”
Truth be told, the movie did better than expected overseas, but actually underperformed in America.
Granted, that distinction doesn’t matter much in our modern media landscape, especially as Russia moves more plastic soldiers into Washington as part of the batsh-t game of Risk that is life in 2017.
Anyway, the upshot is that the latest entry made enough money to ensure that Pirates 6: Yes, Seriously will hit theaters sometime around 2016.
It’s great news for the franchise’s anchor, Johnny Depp, who’s been struggling with some financial issues lately.
And by that we mean you may soon find him standing near a burning trash can, passing a pint of MD 20/20 back and forth with his fellow bedraggled scarf enthusiasts.
Obviously, we kid, and Johnny is actually doing fine in the money department by regular folk standards.
The recent reports of Depp being on the verge of bankruptcy are not exaggerated (in fact, they’ve been confirmed by various court documents), but he’s only in danger of going Hollywood broke, not actual broke.
Sell a couple islands, churn out some Nic Cage-quality direct-to-DVD garbage, and Depp will be fine,
Still the question remains of what the hell happened to all his money, and on that score, there are two conflicting stories.
Currently, Depp is suing his management team, claiming that TMG mishandled his funds and failed to warn him that he was living beyond his means.
The firm is countersuing with a claim that Depp ignored repeated warnings that his extravagant lifestyle (which included a $ 30,000 a month wine budget) would drive him to the brink of financial ruin.
Now, new revelations made by a former TMG employee and published by The Hollywood Reporter could shed new light on how Captain Jack’s treasure chest wound up so bare.
The employee claims that Depp’s Christi Dembrowski was permitted to spend her brother’s money at will, and TMG was afraid to stop her due to her infamous temper.
The employee has even provided an internal memo in which Dembrowski is described as a “nasty bitch.”
The revelation could benefit either side, as it confirms both that TMG didn’t do everything it could to protect Depp’s assets, but also that Depp and his family spent recklessly and frivolously.
For much of this court battle, it’s seemed as though the scales were tipping ever so slightly in TMG’s corner.
But earlier today, Team Depp fired back with some incendiary accusations that could tilt the case in the actor’s favor.
For starters, Depp’s lawyers claim the firm used his assets to secure $ 40 million in loans without his knowledge.
Additionally, the actor claims TMG execs were negligent with his funds, citing as an example a case in which they forgot to cancel the lease on a hospice house for his late mother, costing Depp $ 350,000.
So what’s the takeaway from all of this?
Mainly that Depp swaggering around with a parrot on his shoulder will be the last sight you see before the sun expands and engulfs the Earth, bringing an end to human existence as we know it.

Johnny Depp to Amber Heard: I Forbid You to Do Sex Scenes!
Johnny Depp isn’t exactly killing it these days.
Sure, he’s still got the private island in the Bahamas and he probably woke up this afternoon with two spindly models in his bed, but as he stumbles into his mid-50s, the Tim Burton Frankenstein lab creation is definitely learning to take the good with the bad.
These days, most of the cringeworthy Depp gossip comes not from anonymous sources on social media, but from far more reliable court documents.
You see, when Depp’s not out drumming up press for Pirates of the Caribbean 5, which critics are describing as an experience akin to an emergency colonoscopy with talking parrots and sh-t, he’s in court.
Most of the recent tabloid headlines have had to do with Depp’s legal wrangling with his management group, TMG.
Both parties are suing one another in an increasingly ridiculous court battle that’s brought to light a number of spending habits that shed a lot of light on Johnny’s recent years.
(The $ 30,000 a month on wine, wasn’t exactly shocking, but it’s still pretty amusing.)
Of course, before this latest round of courtroom drama, Johnny’s divorce from Amber Heard served as a constant source of bizarre and sometimes troubling revelations.
Heard’s attorneys painted a picture of Depp as something a besotted monster – abusive, controlling, almost pathologically possessive.
Divorce lawyers aren’t the most upstanding lot, and we may never know for sure how many of those claims were accurate, but it’s interesting that the latest Depp-disparaging legal docs come not from Heard, her attorneys, or even someone who’s on Amber’s side.
They come from a man named Chris Hanley, a producer on the film London Fields, in which Heard has a leading role.
The movie has yet to see the light of day, and Hanley claims that’s due in large part to Heard – and her tumultuous marriage to Depp which caused near-constant production problems.
The main issue, Hanley claims, is that Depp jealously demanded that Heard pulled support for provocative scenes depicing her likeness, even when said scenes were shot with a body-double.
In documents obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Hanley blasts both Heard and Depp, claiming that Johnny was a nuisance and Heard brought her personal drama to the set on a regular basis.
“Amber Heard should be ashamed,” reads a preliminary statement from Hanley’s lawyers.
The statement does on to reveal that Depp was so upset about Heard’s role in the film, that it may have been a contributing factor to their divorce:
“Heard has made numerous fantastical accusations against Depp, and reports of her alleged affair with co-star Billy Bob Thornton became so pervasive that Thornton issued a public denial,” Hanley’s lawyers claim.
“Indeed, while generally concealed from Plaintiff at the time, Plaintiff is now informed and believes that the provocative nature of Heard’s femme fatale role in the film was a factor leading to her divorce from Depp.”
Hanley’s lawyers go on to claim that Depp forced Heard to reverse course on risque scenes to which she had already agreed:
“He told the Hanleys that her ex-husband Johnny Depp (who had no cutting rights) would not approve of certain scenes or of her overall provocative performance, Heard herself approved of those scenes on several occasions,” states the document.
“Heard later reversed course, apparently under perceived or actual pressure from Depp (who, according to Heard, was extremely jealous).”
Like we said, not a great PR year for Johnny.
He may be beyond Disney salvation at this point.
The man needs a wacky stop-motion adventure with a goth sensibility and a Danny Elfman score STAT!

Johnny Depp: Drunk and Talking Trump on Ellen
Both personally and professionally, Johnny Depp seems to be in a bit of a slump.
And by “a bit of a slump,” we mean we’ve seen episodes of Intervention that are less depressing than this guy’s current press tour.
Depp may be promoting a Disney movie these days (Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Yes, Another One), but he’s sticking with the thick-tongued persona of the guy from your local dive bar who’s sipping a PBR when you stop in at 11 am because you left your bank card there the night before.
The recent tabloid headlines about Depp have been … not great.
A pair of lawsuits has revealed that Depp is broke (by Hollywood standards. He still has like 12 houses.) following decades of extravagant spending.
Execs at the management group that recently filed a counter-suit after Depp accused them of mishandling his funds claim that the actor spends $ 30,000 a month on wine and shells out millions to staff properties he never visits.
All of this comes on the heels of Depp’s ugly divorce from Amber Heard, during which the once-beloved screen icon was accused of being verbally and physically abusive to his ex.
Clearly, this is a man whose public image is in need of some serious rehab.
Unfortunately, like an alcoholic version of the stoner Towelie from South Park, Depp apparently decided to get just a little bit drunk before embarking on a mission to save his career:
That’s Depp appearing on Ellen yesterday, and his appearance has been described a number of different ways.
Some have kindly and euphemistically described the actor as seeming a bit “tired” or “out of it.”
We assume they’ve either forgotten that this is the dude who spends a middle-class annual salary on wine each month, or they’re just being polite.
Either way, we’re gonna go ahead and speculate that Johnny’s had a few.
Look, we’re not doctors. Nor are we the bartender who served Depp him before the show.
So we can’t assess his exact level of intoxication, but that is a man with a bellyful of a ’47 Bordeaux that costs more than your first car if we’ve ever seen one.
But hey, we’re not judging.
If Depp can get loaded and still dish out Trump zingers like he does in the clip above, we say go for it.
Of course, we’re not the dude’s accountant.
He probably feels differently.

Johnny Depp Is Broke. Here"s What he Spent His Money On
Johnny Depp is one of the most recognizable movie stars in recent history.
He anchored one of the most successful film franchises of the 21st Century, and he’s been a bonafide screen icon for most of his adult life.
So how is it that Depp is broke and fighting for his financial life in civil court?
The news of Johnny’s relative destitution (He still has tens of millions in property and other assets.) comes to us courtesy of an increasingly bizarre pair of court cases.
It all started when Depp sued his management group, TMG, alleging that his finances were mishandled and he was never cautioned about his reckless spending habits.
TMG counter-sued, claiming that Depp was warned and that he persisted in making extravagant purchases and living a cartoonishly lavish lifestyle despite foreknowledge that he was headed for ruin.
“Depp is responsible for his own financial waste,” TMG’s lawyers claim in court documents filed last month.
The legal wrangling has brought numerous details of the spending and self-destructive behavior to light in a fashion that’s amusing from an onlooker’s standpoint, but probably deeply embarrassing for Depp.
Depp’s passion for privacy (he refers to one of his Bahamian properties ad “F–k Off Island”) is well-known, but these days, his finances are a matter of public record.
Revelations such as the actor’s habit of spending $ 30,000 a month on wine have been the stuff of tabloid headlines for several weeks now, and the mind-boggling figures just keep coming.
A scathing series of reports published by The Hollywood Reporter examines Depp’s decline in lurid detail, and the tale of the screen legend’s downfall is one of almost unimaginable excess.
According to the magazine, the expenditures outlined by TMG include:
-An estimated $ 200,000 for flying in private jets.
–$ 400,000 on a diamond cuff estimated to be worth less than half that amount.
–“Millions” on guitars and artwork. (Depp’s includes pieces by Modigliani and Warhol.)
-More millions on Hollywood memorabilia. (Depp reportedly pays rent on 12 storage facilities in order to store his film industry keepsakes.)
–$ 5 million for an “ash cannon” to fire off the remains of legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
–$ 3.6 million annually for his personal staff. (In addition to his chef and security detail, each of Depp’s residences is fully staffed … even when the actor isn’t there.)
–$ 5.35 million for his chain of islands in the Bahamas.
–$ 18 million for a 156-foot yacht, which Depp’s financial planners have convinced him to sell to author J.K. Rowling.
-And of course, $ 75 million for the purchase and renovation of 14 residences worldwide, all but one of which the actor has reportedly refused to sell.
All of this splurging reportedly had Depp’s handlers in a panic, and a 2016 memo obtained by THR provides insight into how dire Depp’s financial situation has become:
“Did you tell [J]ohnny … he needs to make $ 25 million by the end of the year????? What are you doing?????"” his talent agent wrote to a TMG exec.
In addition to his spending, those closest to Depp say he’s been a personal tailspin since his divorce from Amber Heard, frequently partying late into the night and often failing to show to set on time … or at all.
Sadly, it sounds as though Depp’s financial irresponsibility may be a symptom of a much more dangerous disease.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Johnny Depp Suffers From "Compulsive Spending Disorder," Lawsuit Claims
We’ve all experienced the morning-after remorse that comes with a night of wild Amazon splurging.
But while you might still regret dropping 300 bucks on that thing that was supposed to sculpt your abs while you sleep, at least you can take comfort in the knowledge that you never spent as recklessly as Johnny Depp.
In case you haven’t heard, word on the street is that Depp is basically broke these days.
We’re not saying you’re gonna see him munching on a mayonnaise sandwich at the social services office any time soon, but the man is not nearly as well off as he should be or once was.
The news of Depp’s relative broke-assness comes courtesy of an increasingly contentious lawsuit involving the actor and his former management group, TMG.
Back in February, Depp sued TMG claiming that they’d mishandled his funds and brought him to the brink of near bankruptcy.
The firm fired back in a countersuit, calling Depp a “habitual liar” who knowingly blew his fortune on bizarre luxury items.
The war of words continued with a fiery Wall Street Journal interview in which Depp defended his spending habits, telling the newspaper, “If I want to buy 15,000 cotton balls a day, it’s my thing.”
TMG claims that Depp’s actual spending was not all that much more practical.
The group says Depp’s lifestyle cost him $ 2 million a month “which he simply could not afford.”
The actor allegedly spent more than $ 75 million on real estate in the span of a few years, dropping large sums of cash to acquire or improve an astonishing 14 residences, including a string of islands in the Bahamas and a 45-acre chateau in the South of France.
In recently filed documents, TMG execs claim they “did everything possible to protect Depp from his own irresponsible and profligate spending.”
In a statement issued today, TMG’s attorney, Michael Kump, had this to say about Depp:
“In retrospect, it appears that Depp may suffer from a compulsive spending disorder, which will be proven in this action through a mental examination.”
Depp’s attorney, Adam Waldman, commented on Kump’s allegation of compulsive spending, stating simply, “This is how guilty people respond.”
It’s difficult to say at this point how things will shake out in court, but we don’t think there’s any doubt that this thing will get uglier before it gets any better.

Johnny Depp on Going Broke: I"ll Buy 15,000 Cotton Balls If I Want To!
Back in February, we reported that Johnny Depp is going broke after spending his money on what we then described as weird-ass sh-t.
In addition to the usual rich guy splurging (Sources say Depp spent $ 30,000 a month on wine.), there were some truly bizarre expenditures, such as a $ 3 million ash cannon to shoot the remains of his friend Hunter S. Thompson into the atmosphere.
Rather than denying that he went a little crazy with his cash, however, Depp is now defending his right to blow a fortune on whatever gonzo luxuries he wants:
The speculation of where Depp’s money went began when he sued his management group, TMG, for allegedly mishandling his sizable nest egg.
TMG countersued, claiming that “Depp lived an ultra-extravagant lifestyle that often knowingly cost [him] in excess of $ 2 million per month.”
The firm’s cross complaint argues:
“Depp, and Depp alone, is fully responsible for any financial turmoil he finds himself in today.”
In a new interview with The Wall St. Journal, Depp doesn’t claim that he never lived an overly-posh lifestyle, but instead argues that it was his right to do so, and his management group’s job to warn him before he went too far:
“It’s my money,” Depp said. “If I want to buy 15,000 cotton balls a day, it’s my thing.”
He went on to say:
“Why didn’t they drop me as a client if I was so out of control? I’ve worked very, very hard for a lot of years and trusted a lot of people, some who’ve clearly let me down.”
Depp says that in some areas, TMG lied to make his spending seem more lavish than it was, but in a hilariously candid quip, he says they actually underestimated his spending in one case.
The cannon used to propel Thompson’s ashes into the night sky over the writer’s famous Woody Creek, Colorado ranch actually cost $ 5 million, not three.
Depp has been unabashedly frank about his foibles throughout his career, and from a PR standpoint, the ball is now in TMG’s court.
The firm finds itself in the unenviable position of facing off against a film icon who’s soon to resume his most famous role.
The past year has been rough on Depp, but he still has a spot in the hearts of millions of devoted fans.
