Paul Bettany: having Johnny Depp texts read aloud in libel trial was ‘an unpleasant feeling’

[shangri__la]

Just an idea Paul Bettany, but if you don’t want “unpleasantness”, maybe don’t ever chat with your mate about whether the two of you would murder his wife by “burning” or “drowning” her. https://t.co/lJyaE64ihQ

Vile. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I swear Disney/marvel did a lot to try to bury this because I only hear about this on ONTD and Reddit. At least no one on ONTD (to my current knowledge) has tried to defend him for this. Men are trash.

[jellycar]

a lot of his fans are wifebeater fans from what i’ve seen so yeah they definitely try to bury this every single time

[asnindie]

Disney buried everything related to this and Thanos.

he strangely has a lot of fan goodwill thanks to the pirates movie, which is nuts.

honestly, i think it’s just because no one cares. everyone took a couple of edited clips and some viral tweets accusing amber of being the villain and just ran with it. people have already decided they hate her and don’t care enough to read any further into it, and johnny depp stans defend the texts saying he was ‘venting about his abuser.’ the way people are so ready to hate women is just absolutely insane.

Yeah I was a Bettany fan since A Knights Tale and wouldn’t have known about this w/o ONTD

The way that Jeremy Renner story disappeared is extremely suspicious.

Right?? I was so confused, didn’t he like kidnap his daughter and threaten to kill them both? Am I wrong or did that not happen? Like why does he still have a show that’s actively out?

[loveumbrella]

what story!?

[jontargaryen]

He abused his ex-wife. Then, one night after they broke up, he got high on coke and started telling people he wanted to murder her. He went to her house, while their child was there asleep, waved a loaded gun around, threatened to kill her and himself, then fired the gun into the ceiling.

His defense was just going, "Oh, she's crazy." You know how crazy women are, always lying about almost being murdered.

[loveumbrella]

what the fuck

[sluttyroyals]

Seriously, along with the Josh Brolin and Jeremy Renner stuff.
