Vanessa Paradis Defends Johnny Depp as "Sensitive, Loving"

Another woman from Johnny Depp’s past has come out in defense of the actor.

Earlier this week, Lori Anne Allison – who was married to Depp from 1983 through 1985 – came forward and described the actor as a “soft” person who never laid a hand on her.

She went on to compliment Depp for his caring way with animals and, allegedly, has told friends that she doesn’t believe Depp ever laid a hand on Amber Heard.

This has become a relevant opinion because Depp stands accused of some heinous actions.

Upon filing for a protection of custody from the star, Heard recently said in legal documents that Depp abused her.

While sporting wounds on her face, Heard told a judge that the injuries were a result of Depp hurled an iPhone in her direction.

“His temper is exceptionally scary for me as it has proven many times to be physically dangerous and/or life-threatening to me,” Heard has said on record.

She also filed for divorce from Depp after 15 months of marriage.

We have no way of knowing the truth at this time, of course, but Vanessa Paradis has now also come out and showed support for the actor.

Paradis dated Depp for 14 years, splitting from him in 2012 after giving birth to Depp’s two kids, Lily-Rose, 17, and Jack, 14.

In a handwritten note obtained TMZ, Paradis refers to Depp as “a sensitive, loving and loved person.”

It’s unclear just who this letter was actually written to, but it was dated May 27.

In the message, Paradis calls Heard’s claims “outrageous,” and adds:

“In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years.”

A hearing is expected to take place next month, at which time a judge will listen to Heard’s allegations and it will be decided whether or not to bring charges against Depp.

Retraction: Johnny Depp Did NOT Start Dating Amber Heard While He Was Still Vanessa Paradis

On February 10, The Hollywood Gossip published an article claiming that there was reason to believe that Johnny Depp may have become romantically involved with his wife, Amber Heard, while he was still involved with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis.

There is no factual basis to this claim. We regret the error, and we would like to issue our sincerest apologies to Mr. Depp, Ms. Heard, and Ms. Paradis.

The speculation in the article was based on comments that Mr. Depp made in a February 5 interview with People magazine in which he described meeting Ms. Heard on the set of the 2011 Hunter S. Thompson adaptation, The Rum Diary.

We misinterpreted his comments and arrived at the inaccurate conclusion that he and Heard began dating before he had separated from Paradis.

In truth, Depp has stated that his romantic relationship with Heard began not on set, but rather during the film’s press tour, at which time, he had already separated from Paradis.

We also commented that Depp may want to steer clear of future projects co-starring young blonde women, and we now realize that the remark was in poor taste.

In summation, there is no reason to believe Mr. Depp is guilty of any infidelity in his current or past relationships, and we apologize for stating otherwise.

Johnny Depp Reveals He Cheated on Vanessa Paradis With Amber Heard

It’s been over a year since Johnny Depp and Amber Heard got hitched, and though it’s the first marriage for both, Johnny is no stranger to family life.

Before he met Heard on the set of 2011’s The Rum Diary, Depp was in a 14-year relationship with the mother of his two children, French actress and pop star Vanessa Paradis.

Depp and Paradis broke up in 2012, and for years, it was widely assumed that Depp and Heard didn’t hook up until after the relationship was through.

In a recent interview with People magazine, however, Depp may have inadvertently revealed that he and Amber were gettin’ it long before he parted ways with his baby mama.

“We tracked each other down,” Depp told the magazine. “Actually, incidentally, it was amazing. It was at the first day of press on The Rum Diary. Then we married that very day!” 

Obviously, Depp is joking when he says they got married the same day (We think. Maybe he’s saying they got married on the anniversary of that day?), but the bit about them getting together on the first day of their press tour seems to be new, legit information.

And it also seems to indicate that he and Amber were hooking up almost a full year before he parted ways with Vanessa.

Of course, these says it’s being widely reported that Depp and Heard are experiencing a “rough patch,” so we imagine she’s hand-picking his film projects and focusing on scripts that don’t call for any young blonde co-stars.
