Howard Stern has blasted Johnny Depp over his behavior in his defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.
Howard Stern Brands Johnny Depp A ‘Narcissist’ For His Conduct In His Defamation Trial Against Amber Heard
Johnny, for his part, is suing after a headline was published in The Washington Post in which Amber implied that their time together was characterised by abuse. And as part of his lawsuit, the legal battle has been available for livestream.
While Johnny may welcome this as a way for the public to side with him, Howard did not take that very well. In fact, he called out the actor for being into himself.
In an episode of his show, he said: “I think Johnny Depp is a huge narcissist and what I mean by that is — he figured, ‘I’ll put this on TV and because I’m so persuasive and because I’m so smart, I’m such a wonderful guy.’”
But this was only just the start. The radio host also went on to question Depp’s credibility by implying that he was acting in the trial. And in the process of doing so, it made him come across in a negative way.
This included accusations that Johnny’s accent was not what it usually has been in addition to the fact that he and Amber were coming across like ‘children’.
He added: “If he isn’t acting — I mean, he’s so overacting because he’s writing his own material as he goes along. Does that sound like a guy from Kentucky?”
The fans on social media were very brutal towards Stern. A significant proportion of people called him out for his lack of sensitivity.
Meanwhile, others were of the view that he should have listened to the evidence that was being shown in court rather than just slamming Depp.
One person wrote: “Sure, tell that to the pile of evidence that says that Johnny is innocent and Amber Turd is the aggressor.”
This trial still has some way to go, and with that, people will continue to have divergent opinions. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
