Johnny Depp: My friends betrayed me
Johnny Depp, the Hollywood actor, has claimed he was betrayed by his friends after being accused of abuse by his ex-wife Amber Heard. The strongly denied claims were first levelled against Depp, 62, by Heard during divorce proceedings in 2016. The actor's failed marriage to the 39-year-old actress made international headlines when details of alleged violence between the pair were aired in courts in the UK and US. Depp has now criticised the behaviour of several close friends at the time and also claimed he had been a 'crash test dummy for the #MeToo movement'. 'I'll tell you what hurts. There are people, and I'm thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids' parties, throwing them in the air,' he told The Sunday Times. 'And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice.' One individual who spoke out against Depp despite their long working relationship was Tracey Jacobs, his agent of 30 years, who was sacked in 2016. She claimed during Depp's legal battles that studios were 'reluctant' to hire him because of his lateness. Depp said of Jacobs: 'My loyalty is the last thing anybody could question. I was with one agent for 30 years, but she spoke in court about how difficult I was.' His image came under global scrutiny when he brought a libel case against The Sun newspaper after he was described as a 'wife-beater' in a column. Numerous alleged details of the couple's marriage were made public during the case, including claims of the actor having a finger severed, being struck by Heard, passing out drunk and finding her faeces in their bed. Depp said he felt compelled to risk revealing details of his personal life, adding: 'Look, it had gone far enough. I knew I'd have to semi-eviscerate myself. Everyone was saying 'It'll go away'. But I can't trust that.' While a judge ruled against Depp in his High Court case against The Sun, the star won damages for defamation from Heard in June 2022 following a legal battle in the US. But the allegations of abuse levelled against Depp by Heard continued to dog the film star, whose presence at the Cannes film festival in 2023 was opposed by several feminist groups in France. Following a period away from major Hollywood productions, Depp has this year been working on his comeback film Day Drinker. In the thriller, Depp will star as a mysterious guest on a private yacht who finds himself entangled with a criminal, played by Penelope Cruz.

Giants P Sean Hjelle subject of MLB investigation following wife's claim
June 22 - San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin said club officials have talked to Major League Baseball about allegations of abuse made by the wife of pitcher Sean Hjelle. MLB is investigating claims made by Caroline Hjelle, who on Friday posted a video to social media of herself with their two children with this caption: "When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after (this video was taken) once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone." She added hashtags that included #divorce and #cheating. "Obviously, we're aware of it. He told me about it last night," Melvin told reporters Saturday. "We've talked to MLB, and at this point, it's in their jurisdiction so we can't comment on it any further." MLB investigates such cases as part of its Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. Hjelle said after San Francisco's 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday that he and his wife are in the throes of a divorce. "I don't have an official comment right now," Hjelle told reporters. "I would like to actually talk with my agent, my lawyer. This has been something that's been going on for over a year now in terms of our relationship and our divorce and our separation and everything. ... I just want to talk to the appropriate people and figure out what the steps are. Just kind of taking it in stride right now. "So no comment right now. I feel confident saying that I will have one eventually. I don't have an exact timeline on that, but I would like to actually get with the people that are handling the situation with me and for me before I actually make an official statement." Hjelle, 28, is in his fourth season with the Giants. A right-handed reliever, he is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six appearances. Last season, he appeared in 58 games and was 3-4 with a 3.90 ERA. He has a career record of 7-8 with a 4.80 ERA over 87 games (one start). He remains eligible to pitch during the investigation. --Field Level Media
