To think that Dior are way off the mark to employ Johnny Depp

[dollydayscream]

Who does he appeal to?

Aftershave for wife beaters?

They also employed John Galliano.

I am baffled.

Sauvage is a crap scent anyhows

south yet allegedly an allegation of domestic violence or rape can ruin a man's life..

I really have no idea why people find it so hard to believe he was abusive towards her tbh.

Johnny Depp himself has admitted that he has a temper and struggles to keep his anger under control. He has also been arrested for assault before but for some reason it is unbelievable that he may have hit his wife

He's popular, it's that simple. He's been a bad boy heart throb for over a decade. Fans will be willing to forgive him even if he did hit her. He will still be bringing them in money. A lot of people will associate him with characters he's played rather than who he actually is as a person. Pretty faces get sales.

Yep. Who needs due process. Pitchforks at the ready!

She made it all up. It is actually her who has a history of that which has been proven anddddd he does all that great work for sick kids in hospital which he doesn't need to do.

I wouldn't

So Blah do you also think Depp was lying when he said he has a temper on him?

I'm curious to know what history Heard has however whilst we are the subject of history it is also worth pointing out that Depp has assaulted people before and has been arrested for it.

'he does all that great work for sick kids in hospital which he doesn't need to do.'

What has that got to do with the price of fish?

Or are you saying his charidy work overrides anything shit he might do?

Is this about that cringeworthy ad where he goes off and digs a hole on the desert? If so, that ad has been around for at least a few years.

I actually thought it was going to be a parody of the naff perfume ads at first. But no.

He's just an embarrassment in every way.

I have to say though, i don't give a rats backside who is advertising a perfume, it doesn't make me go out and sample it with a view to buying it if i like it, just because a famous person i like is being paid to pretend to love it.
I have old faithful perfumes i've loved for years, and am unlikely to switch to something new unless they get discontinued. If i'm buying something new i honestly go off how interesting the bottle looks as my first criteria as i like to keep them even empty as decoration. Then i go off price, then which of the candidates left smells nicest.

Dior hire him because he's still a big name and he sells.

He takes the work because he's desperate for the cash.

If people didn't buy it, they wouldn't hire him.

The Sauvage contract was definitely signed before Amber Heard went public, because there was a billboard at my regular bus stop and I remember thinking 'that's an unfortunate name'.

Have Dior showed sound commercial judgement by continuing to push the campaign? Hell no, obviously. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't behind his rehab photo shoot either.

So anyway who still finds it hard to understand the reasons why women don't report?

I laughed out loud at "he does all that hard work for sick kids".

Weirdly, they seem to be pushing that ad more. It's a terrible ad and given the revelations over his home life, it's pretty odd.

I saw it the other day. It is quite offputting indeed!

He's abused multiple partners

Has he? Who?

Must admit I didn't realise he'd admitted beating Amber Heard. When did he admit that?

He is stuck in a cycle of abuse (he grew up in an abusive home) but I hope he got help but he is still handsome

Supposedly Winona Ryder talked about being in an abusive relationship in an interview when she was younger. Although she didn't name any names, the timeline of events she gave fit when she was in a relationship with Depp perfectly*

*I've never actually seen Winona Ryder talk about this not was I able to find any quotes online from her when I tried to find some. However I have seen it referenced in quite a few places and not just MN.

I agree completely.
I will not buy anything he advertises and I'm really really disappointed he is in the new Harry Potter movies.

She had physical injury, recorded evidence and witnesses. What more does it take to be believed? No wonder women don't report...
Amber Heard - I believe you.

So everyone is just guessing

Hmm, so he 'may' have had an abusive relationship with Winona but she's not confirming it and there's no evidence.

Who else has he (possibly but not proven) been abusive to? I know he smashed up a hotel room and got arrested when he was with Kate Moss but there was no suggestion of abuse towards her as far as I know.

FTR I'm not trying to defend an alleged abuser, just wanting to clarify what he's actually done rather than rumours/gossip.

I don't think Amber is reading mumsnet quinoa
