Please answer the following question for me: Why does Johnny Depp suck? You are welcome to disagree, but then of course you would be wrong. I could have started this thread a month ago, but I finally felt absolutely compelled to start it now due to recent events. The fact that Johnny Depp sucks has now become an undeniable fact that nobody can convince me of otherwise. So once again tell me why Johnny Depp sucks. It can not be repeated too often. Let the daggers fly.
Johnny Depp sucks just like every other human being sucks.
He (supposedly) has problems and struggles with drug and/or alcohol addiction. I'm sure there are forum members that can relate to that, no? I can't hate the guy just because his struggles are paraded around by the media for all to see. Consider yourself lucky for not having to be in that position.
As for his acting, he is good. I don't go out if my way to watch any of his movies simply because I usually have no interest in that genre, but that doesn't mean he is not a good actor.
As for the recent allegations, I think they are bogus. Yes, there is a picture of her with a black eye. But was that done purposely? Did it fly out of his hand and hit her accidently and she saw that as an opportunity to use it against him? Or did he have nothing to do with the incident?
Also, when someone is accused of domestic violence, the first thing one should do is look to see if there are any past incidents that would support this type of behavior. His has had long term relationships with a few women that were very public and not one of them has come forward with any claims of domestic violence at his hands. If anything, they have nothing but nice things to say. He sounded like a loving and supportive partner.
Domestic violence is not something that happens overnight. It is part of the abuser's character starting at an early age. It can either be stopped by early intervention or it can (and usually will) progressively get worse. The latter is more common.
Again, there is ZERO past history that would indicate that he was an abuser. And he is in his late 50's. It doesn't add up.
If people start coming out of the woodworks with allegations of abuse then I may reconsider my stance. But as for now, I am leaning towards him being innocent.
I'll give it a month until I firm up that conclusion. I feel that is plenty of time for someone to step forward. Doesn't seem likely though.
