Johnny Depp won his defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard on Wednesday after six weeks of bombshell testimony at the Fairfax County Courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia.
Paul Barresi says he is still haunted by the expression on Amber Heard 's face as she gave her now infamous testimony to a U.S. courtroom in 2022 claiming that her former partner Johnny Depp sexually assaulted her with a bottle of bourbon.He can't make sense of it, and God knows he has tried more than most.
He shrugs. 'No one believed her. And she is an actor. I've wondered if she witnessed something else — nothing to do with Depp — that she could call on. Still, it troubles me.' 'I spoke to hundreds of people, everything's here,' he says, tapping it. 'Every taped conversation, email conversation. I spent three months on it, left no stone unturned.'
Depp testifies during a hearing in the Fairfax County courtroom in 2022 as he sued his ex-wife Amber for libel 'I'm the last-resort man,' he tells me. 'When people have exhausted all the other options, they come to me. I'll climb every tree I have to.' After going public about his trawl through Depp's life, he received a thank you from Depp himself, via his lawyer, for speaking out. It was another extraordinary development in the Hollywood drama to end all dramas. Doesn't switching sides, or at least going public about how there was very little dirt to be found, break every rule about what a private investigator does? 'I never signed any non-disclosure agreement,' he says.
'For some reason, and I still don't understand why, he latched onto people that really were no good for him.' Are we talking about the same Johnny Depp who once threatened to set a journalist on fire? Barresi himself verified this as true in his investigations.Nice guy who got in with the wrong crowd, then? 'There were people who never had a bad word to say about him, but there were also those who wouldn't talk.
Barresi can't be sure about how much of his 'evidence' was used, but since very little of it was helpful to Heard's legal team, it's safe to assume not much. But was there a precise point at which he realised that, emotionally, he was switching sides? Small in stature, Barresi began weightlifting to bulk up, and joined the U.S. military. He served in Vietnam before being discharged in 1971, when he became involved in the world of personal training. He worked as a bodyguard and personal trainer for movie movers-and-shakers, and through them, stars, too.
Artichokes? 'Yes, they were for Raquel Welch. I didn't know who she was. I was just giving artichokes to a pretty girl in a robe.' But how on earth do you get from the porn business into the private detective one? Very easily, he says.
