America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz

Accompanied by his lawyer and Agent Hui Gemu, Johnny Depp walked out of the police station with a grim expression. A frenzied crowd of entertainment reporters and paparazzi swarmed around him, bombarding him with questions as if they were free of charge. "Johnny, how many times have you beaten your wife?" "Did you cause domestic violence due to excessive drug use?" "What do you have to say about Amber Heard's allegations of marital rape?" "Your record is terrible, do you often abuse your female partners?" Before the police had confirmed any domestic violence, the media had already rushed to condemn Depp. Unable to contain himself, Depp shouted, "I've never committed domestic abuse! Absolutely no domestic abuse! I, Johnny Depp, swear to God, I've never hit any woman in my life!" He defended himself with unprecedented seriousness, "The only person I've ever abused in my life is myself!" But none of the entertainment reporters on-site believed him, just like the majority of people online, they were all convinced Johnny Depp was the perpetrator of domestic violence. Besides being a man, Depp's long-established bad image was fatal. Drug use, alcohol abuse, womanizing, being late, throwing tantrums, flipping off fans, urinating in public on other film sets, etc. These incidents, exposed one after another, almost stereotyped Depp's public image. This is a bad guy; isn't it normal for a villain to commit domestic abuse? Destroying a Hollywood A-list superstar like Johnny Depp is not an easy task. Since last year, filming "The Martian" in Death Valley National Park, where Depp urinated in front of the crew, Martin had been carefully plotting how to cause the social and media death of a Hollywood superstar. After almost a year, he finally reaped the fruits of his efforts today. No one was willing to believe Johnny Depp's words, and even if Depp could prove his innocence through prolonged entanglement later, his image in the media and public would be utterly ruined. Depp publicly urinated, and Martin wanted to repay him with not only financial bankruptcy but also image bankruptcy! Facing hundreds of entertainment reporters, Depp loudly defended himself, but it was effectively useless. Urged by the bodyguards, lawyers, and agent, Depp finally shut his mouth and got into the car. As soon as the car door closed, Depp loudly asked, "Where's that woman? That crazy woman, where is she? I want to ask her, how did I abuse her? I've never hit her once!" The driver started the car and drove away. Hui Gemu quickly said, "Calm down, Johnny, just calm down a little." How could Depp possibly calm down, "I've never done anything to cause her bodily harm! Why would she do this, why..." "Johnny, you have to pull yourself together to deal with this. The evidence Amber has presented is extremely unfavorable to you!" the lawyer solemnly informed, "The multiple key exhibits she submitted to the LAPD all have your fingerprints on them, the medical examination shows signs of damage to her lower body, and your DNA was found..." Depp said, "No, it's not like that. She saw I was upset and took the initiative to do these things to relieve my stress." The lawyer reminded, "Do you have any audio recordings, videos, or witnesses to prove it?" "I..." Depp was stunned, his mind in a haze, unable to understand, "Why would she do this?" The lawyer continued, "From the information I got from the LAPD, the evidence provided by Amber is not only from this time but also includes multiple previous incidents, ranging from videos and photos she took to bottles and weapons she provided as exhibits." Hui Gemu reminded him, "Johnny, wake up, that woman wants to completely destroy you!" The lover-boy Depp finally sobered up a bit and asked, "Where is she? I want to talk to her personally, all these are false, all her slander against me." For now, that seemed like an option. Hui Gemu made a phone call, and his face turned dark. The lawyer asked, "What's happened now?" Hui Gemu hung up the phone and said, "Amber Heard is holding a press conference, accusing Johnny of domestic abuse." Clearly, Amber Heard was intent on blowing up the situation, not settling the matter privately. ...... Beverly Hills, Hilton Hotel. The large press room was packed with reporters, their cameras and video cameras all aimed at the woman in front of the microphone. Amber Heard's eyes were red and swollen, her face marked with scars, and there were red marks on her neck. Accompanied by her agent, she opened a box and took out an empty bottle with a diameter of about 7 centimeters. "During one episode of abuse, I was choked by Johnny Depp's hands!" Amber mimicked the choking motion before carefully picking up the bottle and saying, "He pushed me on top of the ping-pong table..." She stopped there, covering her mouth and breaking down into tears. Even though she didn't finish her sentence, all the reporters present understood the implication. The room erupted in shock, flashbulbs flashed continuously, and every camera focused on the bottle. A bottle with a diameter of 7 centimeters! Amber composed herself and continued, "Johnny Depp hurt me over and over, and all I wished for was that it wasn't a broken bottle." A woman's fear and helplessness were vividly portrayed by Amber Heard at that moment, "In an effort to help Depp with his addiction, I flushed all of his drugs down the drain. One time when he had a craving, he asked me where the drugs were. I told him I had thrown them all away, but he didn't believe me. He actually tore off my clothes to search for drugs inside me, and that incident caused me tremendous mental trauma." Due to Depp's extremely poor public image in the media over the past year, none of the reporters present doubted that these allegations were fabricated lies. "This is something Depp could do." "It's not surprising at all for a junkie like him to do these kinds of things." "Poor woman, to have been tormented by Depp to this state." The reporters buzzed with discussion, as they had already pinned the blame on Depp in advance. Amber glanced at her agent, who turned on the projector behind her, projecting some photos and videos onto the screen. The video showed Depp going crazy and smashing things at the wedding scene, and he fiercely pushed Amber, who tried to intervene, to the ground, his hand striking Amber's face. The scene switched to a close-up of Amber in her wedding dress with a large bruise on her face. Then, more photos and videos of the injured Amber appeared on the projection screen. All of this pointed out that Johnny Depp had been domestically abusing Amber Heard since the day they got married. At the end of the press conference, Amber tearfully stated, "I wanted to endure all of this in silence, hoping to help Depp out of the difficulties caused by his drug addiction and alcoholism. But all I received were hurts and tears time after time. I can't continue this marriage any longer, and hereby announce my divorce from Johnny Depp, and will seek legal accountability!" The press room erupted like a boiling pot, as this meant that another high-profile drama was about to unfold. There would be no shortage of news to follow. Amber did not take questions from the reporter, left the press room alone, entered the rest area behind it, and after making a phone call, she went into the meeting room on the same floor. Megan Ellison was waiting there and commented upon seeing Amber, "You did well." Without any false modesty, Amber responded, "Boss, I need a good lawyer to handle my divorce and compensation claims." Megan Ellison was prepared, handing Amber a business card, "Lawyer Bjorkman, specialized in divorce litigation and financial compensation claims." Amber knew that Depp still had a lot of assets to deal with: "I am going to turn Depp into a penniless man!" Megan Ellison's mood improved a bit when she thought of Depp, who had been a nuisance to the production crew and even to her personally. She looked at the evidence in Amber's hand and asked, "Did Depp really use this?" "For a drunkard like Depp, getting a bottle with his fingerprints and saliva on it was too easy," Amber said. Megan Ellison nodded without further comment, and left the meeting room directly. Afterward, Johnny Depp's domestic abuse scandal caused a media storm that quickly spread across the world. News outlets all around the world covered this explosive drama. Depp's side also launched a counterattack, engaging in a war of words through the media. The couple had once shown much affection for each other in the media, and now they showed equal hatred. Depp might have been able to hold on for a while, but Amber's side released a damning video that even involved The United States Parents and Teachers Association. In a video featured on TMZ's homepage, Johnny Depp was seen taking drugs, with his daughter Lily Rose Depp sitting beside him, not only drinking heavily but also having powder-like substances on the table in front of her. Public opinion exploded. What kind of father would commit such insane acts? "Is that Depp's biological daughter?" "God, please come to earth and take Depp away; the world can't bear him anymore." "I feel sad for this girl; she has a father who is addicted to drugs, domestic violence, and doesn't love her." "Can't someone control Depp? He's committing a crime!" The United States Parents and Teachers Association immediately announced their extreme concern about the event and would send someone to follow up on it. Perhaps in Depp's eyes, doing all these things in front of his daughter was nothing new; he had grown used to it over the years and didn't care. But society and public opinion demand correctness. And so, public sentiment completely sided with Amber Heard. Behind this little white flower was not just Megan Ellison but also Musk, and behind Musk was Martin, who could conjure up hundreds of dastardly ideas in a day. Under Martin's manipulation through Musk, Amber Heard fashioned herself as a spokesperson against domestic violence. In turn, Johnny Depp became the synonym for domestic abuser. A few days later, Amber Heard's legal representative filed for divorce at the Los Angeles Court on her behalf, citing reasons not limited to domestic abuse and marital coercion. The lawsuit involved not only the division of assets but also claims for abuse compensation. Amber demanded a compensatory amount of—100 million US Dollars! (Much of this matches the reality of the two figures in a dramatic tear-up.)
