But when the courts and the police get involved, the chances of things going back to normal for you ever again are super slim.

Once a Hollywood favourite, Johnny Depp and his career in the industry have taken a massive hit following serious accusations against him by his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

However, rumours suggest that Depp might find help in the form of his long-time friend, Robert Downey Jr.

What did Johnny Depp do?

Amber Heard, Depp’s ex-wife, has charged him with serious allegations of domestic abuse on multiple occasions. Depp has denied them all, even though Heard’s allegations are detailed and backed by people such as her ex-acting coach, Kristina Sexton.

Depp is also suing the tabloid “The Sun” after it accused him of being a “wife-beater”.

Following these shocking revelations and accusations, Depp’s career has hit a major low. Those at the high offices at Disney have pointedly excluded Depp, not calling him back to take on his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in their plans for a new pirates adventure project. Other than this, the actor has also been delivering a string of box-office fails, sadly cementing his outcast position in the industry.
