Johnny Depp praised Amber Heard’s ‘strength,’ called himself ‘old junkie’

Depp’s high-profile defamation suit against his former spouse continues in Fairfax, Virginia. Seven months before Depp slammed Heard as a “fat a – -“ and “c – -t” who was “full of s – – t as a Christmas goose,” Depp texted an emotional declaration of admiration to Heard’s late mom, Paige Parsons, on August 19, 2014, as he was heading into detox for addiction to prescription painkillers. “My dearest Paige, how unbelievably kind and pure your message was,” Depp wrote. “I am beyond thankful to have you in my life.

There’s no luckier man on this earth to have the strength that Amber gives me and the full support of each of you individually that I’ve gotten helps immeasurably.”The “Edward Scissorhands” star continued, describing himself as a “poor, old junkie.”“I don’t need to explain the horrors to you,” he stated. “You know as well as I.

What you do need to know – that your daughter has risen far above the nightmarish task of taking care of this poor, old junkie.”“Never a second has gone by that she didn’t look out for me or have her eyes on me to make sure that I was okay.

Words are truly feeble in attempting to explain her heroism in a text. Suffice to say that I have never met, or loved, a woman or a thing, more,” Depp wrote. “She has the strength of a thousand men and that is due to no one or nothing but you, sweetheart.
