We think it’s safe to say that the summer of 2016 is not off to a great start for Johnny Depp.
As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Depp’s been accused of assault by his estranged wife, Amber Heard, who claims that the actor was violent on several occasions, including an incident last month in which he struck her in the face with an iPhone.
Heard filed for divorce and was granted a restraining order against Depp shortly thereafter.
Depp’s fans and famous friends rushed to his defense and expressed their skepticism regarding Heard’s claims, with some even going so far as to claim that the 30-year-old actress is blackmailing Depp.
Over the course of the past week, however, mountains of damning evidence – including photos of Heard’s injuries from previous attacks – have emerged online, making it look more and more as though Depp is every bit the unstable alcoholic that Heard has claimed he is.
Depp’s recent behavior on his band’s tour of Europe might serve as further proof of Amber’s claims, as Page Six is reporting that the 52-year-old actor has been boozing and brawling on a level with the swaggering pirate he portrays on screen.
According to witnesses, Depp got into an “altercation” with his own bodyguard while knocking back drinks at a bar in Denmark last night.
The bodyguard was reportedly attempting to usher a drunken Depp back to his hotel room around 2:30 am.
Depp, who sources say was hell-bent on keeping the party going, got physical with the bodyguard and continued knocking back drinks and chatting up a mystery brunette.
“Johnny was in a party mood, that’s for sure,” says one onlooker.
“His bodyguard had his hand on his shoulder and was trying to get him to go back inside, but Johnny refused to go.”
“The bodyguard got more and more persistent but Johnny didn’t want to go,” another witness claims. “And he definitely drank his fair share of alcohol.”
The source adds that the bodyguard eventually backed away and left Depp to continue carousing:
“Johnny was the last one to leave the bar, even after everyone had finished the champagne and gone home, it was Johnny that went back to the bar.
“To look at him last night, with his clothes from the show and the mascara and everything, he looked like he was Jack Sparrow one more time.”
Yikes. We’re guessing no good can come from a grown man behaving like a Disney pirate in real life.
