Everything that happened on wild Day 1 of Johnny Depp libel case – Page Six

Hollywood’s battle royale between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard exploded in a British courtroom Tuesday — with the star blasting his ex as “sociopathic’’ while denying claims he beat her. “[Heard] said to the world that she was in fear of her life from me and I had been this horrible monster, if you will. Which was not the case,’’ Depp said in a written statement released as he took the stand in a libel case. “I am now convinced that she came into my life to take from me anything worth taking and then destroy what remained of it.” The 57-year-old actor is suing Britain’s The Sun over a 2018 article that called him a “wife beater’’ based on Heard’s allegations that he repeatedly assaulted her during their doomed romance. The warring couple’s ugly yearslong drama was laid out ...

Thandie Newton Recalls Conversation With Amy Pascal That The Actress Says Helped Convince Her To Turn Down ‘Charlie’s Angels’ – Deadline

In an incredibly frank conversation with Vulture, actress Thandie Newton spoke about her decision to turn down a part in the remake of Charlie’s Angels starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and, in the role that Newton was considered for, Lucy Liu. Newton said she was “massively affected” by the abuse, racism and objectification she encountered after she began working as an actress at age 16. Newton said she encountered “people that were doing the same [abusive] sh*t, and so I would challenge them or want to get out of it, or not want to work with people.” One of those people, according to Newton, was former co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and chairman of that studio’s Motion Picture Group, Amy Pascal.
