We admit that we may have chuckled a bit at Johnny Depp’s drunk speech from the Hollywood Film Awards last week, but if there’s any truth to the rumors of him battling a serious addiction we’d like to take this opportunity to retract our laughter.
“Johnny was extremely intoxicated,” a witness from that night tells Star magazine. “There were times he had to have someone help him stand. He couldn’t say a complete sentence.”
Like we said, not as funny as it initially seemed. Even less funny are the rumors that Depp’s drinking is driving away his fiancee, Amber Heard.
Heard and Depp got engaged in early 2014, and insiders say less than a year later, she’s ready to call it quits as a result of Johnny’s boozing.
“There’s chatter in Johnny’s camp about rehab,” one source claims. “At this point, he’s driving everyone – including Amber – away.”
Depp’s been lying so low since the HFAs that some have speculated he may have already checked himself in to a treatment facility. Here’s hoping he gets the help he needs.
