Superstar Johnny Depp's struggles with drugs and alcohol has taken another ugly turn, this time in Australia, where he is filming another of the 'Pirate' series films. According to reports, Depp cut off a bit of his middle finger in a drug induced rage and then used the blood to scribble about the identity of the man his estranged wife Amber Heard is having an affair with.
According to a report in the New York Post, "The roguish "Pirates of the Caribbean" veteran even dipped the severed finger in blue paint to complete his handiwork, which included the accusation, "STARRING BILLY BOB EASY AMBER" written on an ornate mirror." The report also quoted sources who are familiar with the incident. "He was super high. He consumed an entire bag's worth of ecstasy, he was taking coke, smoking weed and drinking red wine," the source said. He went on to say "He was so high he couldn't feel anything and was writing all over the walls in blood and paint." On how his finger was mutilated, the source stated, that Depp "bashed a telephone against the wall so hard that it sheared a piece of plastic off the phone that cut off the end of his finger,"
It is being speculated that 'BILLY BOB' refers to star Billy Bob Thornton and the source who spoke to the New York Post said, "This wasn't just about [Thornton]. He scrawled so many names of actors she'd worked with ... He became completely delusional that she was going to cheat on him." The report stated, "Heard and Thornton have starred together most recently in "London Fields," which was brutally panned following a single showing at last year's Toronto Film Festival. She and the 61-year-old "Sling Blade" star also co-starred in 2004's "Friday Night Lights" and the 2008 flop "The Informers." Depp met Heard on the set of 2011's "The Rum Diary." She adamantly denies cheating on Depp and is "horrified anyone would think she would be involved with Billy Bob Thornton" because Thornton is old enough to be her father, a source told The Post."
