TVLine Items: Johnny vs. Amber Doc, Finding Magic Mike Teaser and More
Discovery+ will take viewers inside the dissolution of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s relationship in the two-part documentary Johnny vs. Amber, our sister site Deadline reports.
The first installment will present the pair’s court case from Depp’s point of view, while the second episode will take a look at events from Heard’s perspective. The doc will include interviews with lawyers on both sides, as well as people close to Depp and Heard.
“Through the tapes, home videos and text messages shown in court, these films give viewers a rare and important insight into a marriage that went tragically wrong, and to better understand the hugely important issue of domestic violence,” executive producer Nick Hornby told Deadline.

“Mom can you come downstairs? It’s been 7 hours and we are really worried. Please turn off Finding Magic Mike and talk to your family”
I hope someday to make as much money as Johnny Depp spends on wine
and Cowboys hats
Amber spends way more on wine. There’s countless pics of her with wine, literally by the cases. What Johnny spends his money on is his choice since he earned it. Amber didn’t earn any money. SHe abused Johnny and then stole $3.5 million from CHLA (sick children) and publicly claimed she donated that money. Johnny was sober for years until he got tangled up with sociopath abuser Amber Hear and he fell off the wagon. Making jokes at a domestic violence survivor’s expense is disgusting and this documentary coming out is abhorrent.
Okay? It was widely reported on multiple news sites that Johnny drops 30 grand a month on wine, but I haven’t seen a breakdown of Amber’s spending habits.
I thought 50 Cent wasn’t going to work with Starz ever again…
again at least discovery + is taking both sides so we’ll get to see how horrible both are
I won’t watch, but I highly doubt it will be an accurate as all of Amber’s “evidence” is contradicted by LAPD testimony, bodycam footage, witness testimony, reports that found almost all the pics she submitted in UK for 2015 incident were taken on a device that didn’t exist in 2015 and in fact were taken 4 months after Johnny sued NGN. I doubt it will point out that TMX video was edited by Amber and the full video shows Johnny left and Amber laughed even though she testified that he became enraged and beat her we actually see he calls her an “A**hole” and leaves and she smiles and laughs. She also positions the camera to catch him getting angry, but all he ever does is slam cupboards. He never lays a hand on her. Her “witnesses” never saw anything and have refused to sit down to be deposed yet will give interviews for this documentary? Johnny is an addict, but he was not violent or abusive. Amber is a sociopathic narcissistic abusive liar and I highly doubt any so-called documentary will show the mountain of evidence that proves that.
Finding Magic Mike = The Big Leap
but in a GREAT, unscripted way :)
Don’t waste your time with a documentary on AH and JD. It won’t present an accurate picture. If you really want to know the truth, listen to the audio tapes, read the court transcripts and witness statements and look at all the pics that show AH uninjured with no makeup around the time of every alleged incident. She’s a narcissist so she can’t help taking pics of herself and JD’s team has all of them to prove her lies. Also she was ordered by a judge to hand over all devices so an expert can determine if any of her “evidence” is edited or filtered or altered in any way. Everything is about to be exposed so instead of wasting your time on a documentary wait for the VA trial and the world will see the evidence from both sides. Amber has filtered pics, a diary entry, an unsent email she wrote, her witnesses are friends and family. Johnny has doctor’s notes, LAPD testimony, body cam footage, videos, pics, 19 witnesses, doctor testimony, texts, audio recordings, emails, and tech expert testimony to prove AH altered or faked her evidence. Their sides aren’t equal because she can’t prove abuse that didn’t happen and he can prove abuse that did.
Ryan Murphy must consider his second installment of mini series, Feud for this power couple.
