Johnny Depp confirmed that he put Boo in the off microwave as a joke. And didn’t keep track of how the pet swallowed a ball of hash. Amber Heard and Johnny Depp in court in Queensland, where Heard was fined for bringing animals into Australia illegally, Johnny Depp Amber Heard transcript in a Queensland court where Heard was fined for illegally transporting animals to Australia, 2015 © Robert Shakespeare/Fairfax Media via Getty Images via Getty Images. Tara Roberts, Depp’s house manager in the Bahamas, said that Amber often insulted her ex-husband in her presence and once threw a can of solvent at him. In 2013, comedian Depp suggested that Paul Bettany drown and burn his wife and then have sex with the corpse to make sure he was dead. The actor attributed the joke to the fact that he was fed up with Heard’s pleas to quit drinking and drugs. Against this background, Johnny Depp’s desire to cut off Ilon Musk’s penis for sleeping with Amber looks like a cute joke.
