From workhouse connect in AJ Benzer fame, He'd like to be walked on a
leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's the guy put the
cock in the Peacock Network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody AJ Benzi
here with fame? Is it? Bitch? This is Saturday. It's April
twenty third, twenty twenty two, and I'm doing a show on the weekend
because frankly, when I got sick on Friday, I felt bad. I
felt bad that I didn't go there with two shows to you guys. And
I don't know what's going on. I hate to say this, but call
me a conspiracy theorist whatever you want. But ever since I got the vaccination
and the booster, I feel like I've gone through different ailments with my stomach.
I don't know what. I don't know what's going on, but I've
never been this sick as well. Let's say I'm sick as often I've been
sick lately. It bothers me, and it really bothers me when it coincide
with not being able to give you guys a show. I apologize. It's
Saturday. There's some landscapers out behind the fucking hotel. They're also on top
of the roof putting. I guess a new roof on. It's one of
those crazy weekends. But by the grace of God, here I go.
I want to give you a show because I feel like I owe you one,
and we'll be back on schedule Monday, doing the typical five shows a
week, etc. But listen, let me wait until this goddamn landscape or
leaves because, believe it or not, it's illegal to have a gas powered
leaf blower on your back in Los Angeles, but no one cares about the
law here, motherfucker. Hold on Jesus Christ. Sorry, I can't take
that. It's absolutely illegal to have these gas powered, gas powered leaf blowers
on your back. But that's all you see in Los Angeles. You know
every time I go out, you know I have pretty much the shaved head.
I have a little hair coming back now. But you'd be shocked when
I come back. I take a towel, I put water on my head,
and I wipe my head with a towel and it comes back dirty.
That's how much shit is being blown around the air. Look at here he
is again, this fucking idiot. I gotta talk to him. This is
ridiculous. I gotta say you something. Hold on, hold on, are
we fucking done yet? Are you done? Are you done yet? This
is not even legal, a gas powered fucking law. It's not even llegal.
Bro, No, it's not legal. You can't have gas powered on
your fucking back. It's not legal. And I'll put the fucking blowing.
Man, I think you want to make it show him do fuck me?
Sorry, that's real life shit. Man. He was sorry with his goddamn
straw hat. But right is right? Any Look, I wanted to talk
to you today. You could tell I'm in a bed and I'm in a
bad mood. But I'm in a good mood. But I gotta tell you
I feel bad that I just shelled it the guy. I always feel bad
after our yellow people. I gotta go back and give him five bucks.
This is the way I get ready fire aim school of speaking to people.
I'm guilty of that. I'll take care of him. Don't worry about it.
Um. I want to talk to you about the Johnny Depp trial.
This is what this whole show is going to be about. I said some
things a couple of days ago about it. I felt a certain way.
And now as we're you know, in this thing for a week, it's
become apparent to me that there are things that are being broadcast and there are
people saying certain things about the man on trial that simply aren't true. I
was a journalist during the O. J. Simpson trial. I've never seen
anything like this before or since. But this Amber versus Johnny trial is getting
so crazy. Obviously, nobody died, all right, so you know,
mentioning that it's close to the O. J. Simpson trial seems trivial,
But it has all the odd glamor and all the for lack of a better
word, juiciness that attracts people to watch. And I gotta tell you,
I've never gotten so many emails and texts and direct messages from people in the
know. This is a story that I myself have gone down endless rabbit holes
to get toward the truth. And by the way, if you want to
see if you want to see what this woman does on Instagram, you need
to follow the Instagram page called house Inhabit. Oh my god, Oh my
god, is she on top of this thing. It's amazing. But I've
got to tell you, and there are people who disagree with me. Yeah,
I saw him slamming fucking kitchen cabinets. I saw him poor the big
glass of wine and say, do you want to see crazy? This is
crazy. I've been that guy, But so far, I've seen no evidence
of physical violence, taught Amber Heard from Johnny Depth. All they show is
someone who had a problem with drinking. Obviously, doing drugs isn't good,
and writing text messages that weren't nice. But that's not the same as somebody
physically abusing someone physically abusing. You can say on a text, I want
to kill so and so, but unless you try and do, and it
doesn't make you guilty in a court of law, in the court of public
opinion, and might made people turn their cheek and say, oh my god,
he's awful. You know, I'm never gonna tell you I was abused.
I was never physically abused, but I've experienced emotional abuse absolutely, and
Amber Heard does not I'm across as a victim at all. Her actions are
definitely not sitting well with me. They're not. Also, his past relationships
have never had any claims with spousal abuse. I'm finding it very hard to
believe this is the first time Johnny Depp was a woman, abuse would give
me a goddamn break. Now, I will tell you this, and it's
not something I'm proud of, But I had a girlfriend who at some point
I didn't want to stay at the house anymore. I wanted to leave and
go out and meet my friends. And it was the tale end of our
relationship. And I just was like, I gotta go, and I knew
it was gonna be hard to leave, and she made it almost impossible for
me to leave. I mean, in fact, she told me, if
you leave, I'm gonna slam my eye on this doorknob and tell the cops
you punched me. And I said, why would you do that? Why
would you try to ruin my life? Because I just want to leave.
I don't want to be here anymore. This is over twenty years ago,
but this is the kind of shit that exists. This happens to men.
I know men' smack women around. We've all heard about male toxicity blah blah
blah, but it exists on the female level as well. Toxic masculinely is
one thing. Toxic femininity is another thing. We saw it with Jada Pinkett
Smith. We've seen it with her. There are many other women I can
bring into light with this, but enter Amber Heard. She is the newest
latest face that you can put on toxic femininity. Amber Heard's actions are definitely
not sitting well with me. They're they're not I can see through people who
are full of shit. Johnny comes across as the victim of domestic abuse and
all the mental health consequences that causes it. He's a man, and there's
nowhere for abused men to go. Really, you may be able to do
it if you're a single, if you're if you're a married man in Indiana
and no one's looking at you, but try doing it when you're a big
Hollywood star and your wife is a big Hollywood star. No one's gonna believe
it. She's a frail, little blonde. He called her slim. That
was his nickname for her. He's big, bad Johnny Depth. Not that
he's big, not that he's a physically violent person. But you look at
his movies, like Donnie Brascow in Black Mask. He could currently come across
his violin. So there are people who are waiting with bated breath to call
him violent, but he's not. He's a gentle guy. But there really
is nowhere for men to go when they feel abused. And basically, I've
been in that position, not physically abused, but emotionally abused. And you
have women saying things to you, egging you on, goading you into,
trying to make you the monster you don't want to be. It's a terrible
position to be in. What are you gonna do? Go to a fucking
doctor, You're gonna go to a psychologist. What can you do? There's
not a lot of avenues for a man to go down. There's just not.
No one wants to believe a multi millionaire superstar actor is abused by a
little slim amber Heard and I love that he changed the initials on his fingers
from slim to scum. Amber Heard has literally admitted to physically harming him on
tape. I didn't beat you, I hit you. I didn't punch you
out, I hit you. You know, be a man, Johnny.
I don't know where you come from. But a man can't hear that kind
of talk without popping off. Yeah, if he parted himself a big fucking
wine, and if he threw a couple of kitchen cabinets across the So be
it a man. I can't hear a woman say I didn't punch you,
Johnny, I hit you. There's a difference. Be a man. Yeah.
A lot of you are saying, well, just walk away. I
know it sounds so simple, just walk away, But there's a lot of
strings attached. Man. But she admitted to physically harming him on tape,
and then she attempted to gaslight him again, all recorded and played for the
courtroom. And if he did another Pirates movie, which he said he wouldn't,
it would break all records with the public favor that this has won him.
I don't care what you think, but I suddenly tomorrow it was announced
that Johnny Depp's doing the next Pirates of the Caribbean installment. The ticket sales
would be insane. Now, he might not win this suit. I think
he will, but let's leave room for doubt. He might not win this
suit, but he's proven that she was the worst of the two and had
literally no business writing that op ed for The Washington Post. I read the
article a while back, with people saying how his need for revenge is out
of control and he's only hurting himself, not to mention, costing himself in
more ways than one. Look at man, I think both of them has
serious emotional problems. She exaggerated whether she believes that or not as debatable,
and he downplayed it. They obviously had a toxic relationship and they brought out
the worst in each other, to say the least, that happens in relationships.
And now he's using the legal system to further abuse her, but in
a legal way. It's the only means he has left. The guy knows
that people want to believe him, so he's getting up there and playing his
part. People like him more than her, and maybe he knows, maybe
he knows that he maybe can't win the case, but he will win in
the court of public opinion. You can scroll through Facebook and Instagram and I'll
be proven right. When he enters the courtroom, women swoon. Even the
men look at each other when Johnny walks in the fucking room. They don't
do that for amberhard. And if you think that doesn't make a difference in
a court case, you're completely wrong, completely wrong. I watched John Gotti
walk into court a couple of times. I know the jury was pay off,
but man, oh man, that the people in that courtroom fucking swoon.
Little did I know back then that Sammy the Bull Gravano was paying off
jurors to get john off the case. But people swooned. When people see
Johnny Depp helping women out of the limousine or the truck that's taken them to
the courtroom, they love it. They can't believe this man is on trial
for being physically abusive. All that matters, guys, It all matters.
People love to say that. You know, it's very manipulative and abusive that
men in the real world to do this all the time. No one wants
to believe that handsome, nice guys are capable of violent things. Listen,
I know they are. But if you can't see that this sweet, young,
pretty blonde with beautiful hair is a complete lying bitch, I don't know
what to tell you. The proof is in the tapes, but riddle me
this am I the only one who suspects him actually miss her. You know,
when someone's attracted to something so nasty that they know it's their downfall,
but they must have it. If Johnny has been and he's been on record
saying this an abuser of alcohol and pills, that's the same thing as wanting
to be with a woman you know is no good for you. He knows
the opioid roxy coadum is no good for him. It may feel good in
the moment, but over time it's no good for him. Cocaine is no
good for him, tobacco, alcohol, whatever you want to say, is
no good for him. Neither his amber heart. She's one of the things
that are toxic to him that he misses. Johnny didn't want this to go
to court. He begged her, I'm giving you an out. You don't
want to do this, but she kept at it, and he felt he
had to do what he had to do. And if I can't have you,
I will destroy you way. I got that feeling. And I wonder
if they'll get an offer for a goddamn reality show or an intensive marriage he
had but doctor Phil or doctor Drew or every doctor combined. Of course they
won't do it. But believe me, those things are lined up. Johnny
has him look great lately. He hasn't. He cleaned himself up in court.
I'm glad he put the ponytail him when he went up on stand to
talk, because you look like hell with the hand just hanging there. He
really did, and she's dressing like someone from the fucking Handmaid's Tale, and
it's not working, especially when she's obviously taking his zat next before each court
day. Sometimes I think the screen is frozen on her, only to find
out, Oh, no, she's frozen. She's just not She's frozen.
She's on Zanlex. Johnny's not coming to court high Amber heard is. Trust
me. I usually enjoy scrolling through Facebook and Instagram for the videos and stuff,
but I have to stop over the week, and I had to lay
off. I have so many friends on my own feed reposting trial footage and
ranting about Johnny's innocence. It's insane. It's celebrity worship at the most bizarre
level. And there are people, especially women, who want so badly to
believe that these handsome male actors are the characters they play on screen. They
so desperately want to believe that these romanticized versions of their good guy ideal is
real that they sometimes ignore heart and clear evidence to the contrary. Now,
I think Johnny's innocent, but I'm just telling you what some people believe.
You may say, as some of my male friends do and some of them
are in the journalism business that absolutely nothing can excuse those text messages Johnny sent
about wanting Amber dead and referencing, you know, having sex with their dead
corpse. I gotta tell you someone, I'm guilty of texting similar things with
like minded friends. Never do we mean what we say, but we say
it just the same. My relationship with my girlfriend began where she read a
text or an email I wrote to somebody that was just completely just me being
insane and stupid and irreverently funny with somebody I know who can take the joke.
But when you read it and you're not, you know, on it,
it sounds disgusting and looks insane. Took me weeks to battle that.
I'm still battling it out. I know it doesn't make any sense, but
I've had friends who say the most horrible things on emails, and we know
we don't mean it. We just say it for entertaining ourselves. It's a
way to use humor to diffuse the pain we feel. Now. Do I
believe men can be victim of abuse? Of course I do do. I
believe the continuation and retaliation of abuse with abuse is justified I don't know.
I'm not in Johnny depp shoes, but I'll tell you right now, I
don't give a shit what you think. But the studios will be lining up
with parts for Johnny Depp because this listen, this lawsuit is so misguided.
There are some details I haven't really pinned down and paid really a lot of
attention to. So forgive me if I'm wrong, But these lawsuits can't be
won. Sometimes, regardless of fault or who initiated watt, who go to
whom only to film them, they were both messy, intoxicated, violent,
volatile messes of people. You listen to those tapes and you get sick.
You want to turn them off, but you can't. It's like hearing your
next door neighbors just threatening to kill each other. Some people say Johnny should
have let the slide, but here we are, and in a lot of
ways, he is imitating his idol, Marlon Brando, not only in what
he says and acts, but actually how he looks. Let's say, for
arguments sake, Amber started fights to watch fireworks go off and then film it
for leverage. If the relationship ended and Johnny still went nuts, I see
his point. Some people say there's no winning in this situation. The best
outcome would be to minimize the damage, to walk away, to know when
to fold them. He's going scorched earth. But I believe and I know
that she instigated these dramas, and I don't think he should have walked away
sooner. I don't. I think sometimes you gotta fight for what's right.
Do I think he has mental health issues, not particularly, but she certainly
licked the match to the alcohol soaked red that he's become. People say,
well, walk away, That's easier said than done. Guys, if someone's
mentally ill, or if someone has issues like Johnny has, but he's just
not violent, He's non physical when it comes to these things. I don't
know how you can't see that. Yes, I think he should have put
this in the rearview mirror and try to get away from it. But maybe
he's compulsive and couldn't let it go. It's very sad either way. And
by the way, you can start the countdown between the Paul Bettany and Jennifer
colony and divorce, because after hearing those text messages publicly, it's not gonna
last much longer. There's gonna be some issues in that relationship, but I
feel like if I were to judge in any of these cases, I would
rule that, look, you're both hot ass messes, and I'd call it
a fucking day. I wish they could. I wish they'd go, look
enough enough, you're both full of shit, you're both crazy. No one's
getting fifty million or one hundred million. Let's just call it a day and
go home. Both of you stop talking to each other. I wished that
were the case. Johnny's got these ardent defenders who are never gonna believe he's
anything but a saint on earth, and Amber is always going to be that
messy bitch who led him astray and made him out to be a meaning and
unfortunately that's going to be part of his legacy going forward. The truth is
likely somewhere in the middle, as it always is, but some people just
can't wrap their mind around the fact that both of them can be both toxic
to each other. This is proof that only love can hurt like this.
Johnny Depp has been up there, understand raw and very vulnerable, and many
people take that his weakness or his guilt, but I don't. I read
the stories and the newspapers and the websites about how he's no longer employable,
how he droned on for hours and ruined any chance he's ever working again.
Bullshit. It makes me laugh. If you haven't learned that Hollywood loves a
comeback story, you're not paying a mention to anything. There's so many names
mentioned in connection to Johnny and Amberger. Hollywood is literally licking its chops to
get him in the room and talk about a movie again. You're crazy.
If all the world loves a car crash and everybody is explaining his performance in
the courtroom as a car crash, what do you think's gonna happen? The
whole world is going to slow down and watch the fucking movie, just as
he watched the car crash. We've all driven by car crashes. We can't
explain why it happens. And after we leave the car crash, we all
say, what is everybody looking at? Why don't anybody slow down? What
we're looking at is something we hope to see, and that is surviving the
car crash. Johnny Depp has been so good at making us fall in love
with all the characters he's played from Edward scissor Hands to Gilbert Grape to Jack
Sparrow, and on and on. And if you think for a second America
is not ready for another heaping spoonful of Johnny Depp on screen, you're crazy.
Matter of fact, there's never been a time when he's been more hot
than right now. How could any of you not see this trial and not
visibly see proof that Amber Heard is a gaslighting, crazy bitch. I don't
know. Maybe none of you have been in dysfunctional, awful relationships, but
I have, and I know those texts, and I hear those phone calls,
and boy, oh boy, I'd been on the other end of those
things. You have no idea when a woman is antagonizing you and begging you
to blow up and begging you to become the monster you don't want to be.
And then Johnny Depp did become that monster. He did use drunks to
cope with their bullshit. But there's no way you can tie an angry text
message along with physically abusing her, especially when the makeup she claimed she used
wasn't even around back then. It came to light in twenty seventeen. I
don't know if you read those stories but the makeup she claimed to always use
on her bruises wasn't even around. The makeup company came out and said,
listen, we weren't around during this abusive stage, alleged abusive stage, so
we don't want to get involved in this. She's full of shit, guys,
if you can't see that's what she wanted to do to him. I
don't know what to tell you. You've lived a charmed life. You've never
been down those lovely hole ways of relationships where women can become the devil in
a second. But you look at him on truck. Can you imagine having
to expose your own trauma in front of the whole world and then be judged
by the performance in which you do it, as if it's a movie role.
I think people who do this are sick and demented, and they don't
understand the nature of being traumatized, especially by a woman you love. I
find it gross that people think what he's doing is boring up there on the
stand. I'm sorry, but recounting my trauma is boring to you. I'm
sorry. This is not meant to be a Hollywood performance. He's in the
trial of his life, his testimony is not meant to be exciting and riveting
because the trial is not for your entertainment. And the media is the biggest
culprit because for years they painted amber Heard as a victim without really examining the
facts. Are you shocked by that? And now they don't know what to
do with an emotional man sitting on the stand speaking about his trauma. America
is not ready for that. America has not seen that before. And it's
easier to just act like he's bullshitting than to counter the truth, because then
they've got to retract everything they ever said and wrote, and you know,
the media never does that. And I gotta tell you something, My heart
hurt for him when he was trying to explain the Winona Forever tattoo, which
amber Heard hated, and he changed it to Wino Forever after they broke up.
I don't know he did what he had to do. I don't know
how you've lived your lives, but there comes a point when humor has to
intersect and come to the rescue of your pain. And you're lucky if you've
never had to do that. It's not an easy thing to do, to
make fun of your pain. But if you want to survive with that pain,
you need to bring humor into it. And that's all Wino Forever is
all right. The guy likes wine. Obviously he's allowed to like wine.
It's not illegal to like wine. But again, this has nothing to do
with anything. It has nothing to do with allegedly physically abusing her. And
for Christ's sake, again, you can tell by the way she's dressing and
what she's trying to portray herself as I mean, not using mass Scarratt doesn't
make her look at this and it just makes her look tired. And I
know someone is on Zanix and she clearly is on Zanis in that courtroom every
day. Meanwhile, Johnny's bright out and bush tailed when you see him.
Understand, I think the whole Hollywood images are stripped away. So he's less
the Hollywood icon we all know and love, and more a man just trying
to redeem his name. You've got to think of him like that. Finally,
I got this letter from a long time publicist who's a listener and a
patron, and I find it very illuminating. Stacy Benasco has been at this
game a long time, and she's a patron and a listener, and I
wanted to include this letter she sent me. She said, since Johnny Depp
is being dragged through the mud again with the new trial, I wanted to
share my Johnny Depp story and how much of a gentleman he is. The
New York City premier of his film Chuck a Lot was on December fourth at
the Paris Theater. It was brutally cold and the red carpet arrival's line was
outside, so we had a huge group of media, including photographers, cruise
and print reporters waiting to get a photo and a sound bite from Johnny Depp.
There were also several fans waiting by the carpet to catch a glimpse of
him. I was there that day. I know all about this movie.
Johnny's reps were trying to rush him past the press and into the theater.
They needed to start the film, and everyone was waiting on him. I
was handling media on the red carpet and my assignment was to get the shots
for our freezing call photographers. And since this film was a Mirror Max production,
the stress level was high. Johnny wouldn't let his reps win, and
he sweetly told me that he will definitely take photos and make sure we get
the shots of him. He then took a few minutes spoke to fans and
made it clear that they were important to him. I remember he said something
to the reps along the lines of Hey, these people have been waiting in
the cold and wanted to say hi. He was a complete and absolute dream
to work with for those minutes. Everyone who came into contact with him felt
the same way. I worked with tons of celebrities since I started my PR
career in nineteen ninety eight and have so many celebrity horror stories, but this
brief interaction stays with me because of the way Johnny treated everyone, from a
lowly junior publicist to the photographers on the carpet. He was one percent class.
He could have done like many other celebs and passed by the carpet and
fans in the freezing cold. Jennifer Lopez was at the premiere didn't even want
to walk the carpet because she was too cold, but Johnny Dead didn't and
in turn, he made my job so much easier by allowing me to get
the shots and the photos needed if we didn't deliver the huge amount of post
premiere press that Harvey Weinstein expected, we would have hell to pay. Needless
to say, the premiere was covered everywhere. In Johnny's photos were the ones
used. I would love to see him make a deserved comeback, and I
loved that letter Stacy, thank you. I would too, and I think
we will see to come back. I only met Johnny once, although we
have so many things in common from me dating Whenona Ryder years ago, and
there's a lot of strange things that we have in common, even to the
extent not to sound like I asked all that for a minute or two,
we looked pretty much alike. We had a very similar look. A matter
of fact, there was a picture up in my bedroom of myself that my
friend Adolpho Galella took, the great photographer, and I took it. I
had him take it when I just broke up with a girlfriend. I wanted
to always remember her anger I was in this picture and I had it framed
and put in my room. And one night Whenona was in my room,
and the first thing she ever said to me while she waited for me in
my room was remind me so much of Johnny in this photo. I'll sound
like an asshole. If I go further, I'll sound like a narcissistic idiot.
But the point is this, him and I have a lot in common.
And I only met him once, and we sat and talked at a
birthday party thrown for him and a joint called Metronome in New York City,
And I'll share that story on tomorrow's Patreon, but I can tell you he
was one of the most gentle and sweet celebrities I ever met. He didn't
care that I was a gossip columnist. He made sure there was room for
me at that table, even poured me a drink that we both sipped from.
He only cared that I was there with Mickey Rourke, and he said
to me, and he friended, Mickey's a friend of mine, and matter
what you do, he asked about my family, my girlfriend, my job,
my life, like he was actually interested. And when I left,
I said to myself, Jesus Christ, Johnny Depp just interviewed you. You
didn't ask him anything. But he politely and a deptly turned the tables on
me in the sweetest way possible. But I'm very good at first impressions,
and I could tell what I left him that I was sitting with a sweet
gentle man. And yeah, I know there are two signs to every man.
But as sure as I can say, I have been miscast and not
judged properly by people who don't truly know me. This is what I feel
about him too. Then and now, Johnny Depp will win this case.
He will win because he comes across as a man who has been tormented and
angered and hurt by a mean, plotting, gas lighting woman. She picked
on a gentle soul, but she's not gonna like the way this jury and
the public opinion comes back at her heart. Zamber Hurd's career that's going to
be damaged going forward, not Johnny Depp's. You mock my words. You
want to hear more, go to my Patreon show. I got plenty more
to say. In the meantime, I'm aj Benzo. That was Famous a
