Johnny Depp, Chump?

Posted on | May 30, 2016 | 77 Comments

“I’m a lucky man.”
Johnny Depp, November 2014

“Johnny Depp got used, manipulated, set up and made to look like an a–hole.”
Doug Stanhope, May 2016

“Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.”
Benjamin Franklin

The Giant Wheel o’ Karma turned against Johnny Depp last week when his wife Amber Heard filed for divorce and then filed for a restraining order, accusing Depp of domestic abuse. Anyone who was surprised by this simply hasn’t been paying attention to the many omens of doom surrounding their relationship. Most obviously, Depp was 49 when he dumped the mother of his two children (French actress Vanessa Paradis, whom he had been with for 14 years) to be with Heard, who was then 26. A move like that is nearly always a mistake. If you can’t make a relationship work with the mother of your children, what makes you think you’re going to have better luck with a woman half your age?

Oh, sure, Depp and Paradis had “grown apart,” their relationship was “on the rocks,” yadda yadda yadda, but if any middle-aged man honestly thinks that the solution to such a problem is to hook up with a 20-something, he should probably consult a psychiatrist.

So, what do we know about Little Miss Homewrecker, Amber Heard?

Heard, who was raised Catholic, subsequently declared herself an atheist after being introduced to the works of Ayn Rand by her then-boyfriend. She has said of Rand, “I’ve read all of her books. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with her ideals. All I’ve ever needed is myself.”

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Look, I loved Atlas Shrugged as an attack on the liberal welfare-state mentality of the New Deal, but when it reaches the point where Rand rolls out her Nietzsche-influenced anti-Christian philosophy? No, thanks.

The ugly denouement of Rand’s personal life — her affair with Nathaniel Branden, a leader of the weird cult following around Objectivism — was sufficient proof that, whatever else you say about free-market idealism, it is no substitute for sexual morality. If you’re a middle-aged movie star looking for thrills, I suppose hooking up with a young Objectivist could be fun, but marry her? Whoa. Slow your roll, homeslice.

Another thing: Watch out for lapsed Catholics. Hitler was a lapsed Catholic. Yeah, backslid Baptists and apostate Pentecostals have been known to go off the deep end, but when Catholics go bad, they’re likely to go all the way to pure evil. Prostitution, witchcraft, human sacrifice, voting Democrat — there’s no limit to their wickedness.

OK, nice Catholic girl from Texas hooks up with boyfriend who gets her reading Ayn Rand, she becomes an atheist, moves to Hollywood and . . .

 

Actress Amber Heard comes out
as a lesbian at GLAAD event

. . . The 24-year-old stepped out on Friday night for the GLAAD 25th anniversary bash with girlfriend Tasya van Ree. . . .
‘Injustice can never be stood for. It always must be fought against and I just was sick of it being a problem.
And she explained how, by hiding her sexual identity, she felt she was admitting it was a bad thing to be gay.
She says: ‘I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something, you’re inadvertently admitting it’s wrong.’

Oh, but no labels, please:

“It’s been frustrating as I don’t label myself one way or another — I have had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love, it’s the person that matters.”

It depends on how you define “successful relationships,” I guess. Maybe her ex-boyfriends would define “successful” differently, but no one’s interviewing them to find out their opinions of Ms. Heard. As for her relationship with Tasya van Ree, who is 10 years older than Ms. Heard, let’s ask: What’s up with this “no labels” idea? Sure, I’ve got a copy of Lisa Diamond’s Sexual Fluidity on my bookshelf, so I’m familiar with this phenomenon at the conceptual level, but in terms of day-to-day life, it makes no sense whatsoever. A person who is either heterosexual or homosexual can narrow the choices down to 50% of the human race, at least, whereas a polymorphous “no labels” sexuality . . .

Well, wouldn’t that be kind of emotionally exhausting after a while? “Maybe I like this . . . No, wait, probably I like that a little better.”

Three words: Borderline personality disorder.

It was my lesbian friend Cynthia Yockey who pointed out the substantial overlap between bisexuality and borderline personality disorder. People with BPD notoriously have “boundary issues.” They can’t stand to be told “no,” and don’t think the rules should apply to them. They love to cause drama, and would rather have negative attention than to be ignored. BPD is “characterized by extreme fear of abandonment; unstable relationships with other people, sense of self, or emotions; feelings of emptiness; frequent dangerous behavior; and self-harm.”

Does that fit Amber Heard? I’m not qualified to offer a clinical diagnosis, but her “no labels” attitude struck me as symptomatic, and it seems as if the “unstable relationships” factor was evident in her marriage to Johnny Depp. There are reports that Ms. Heard never fully let go of her relationship with Tasya van Ree, and that this created problems.

Depp’s friend Doug Stanhope says he never liked Ms. Heard, and accuses her of blackmailing Depp. We cannot know the whole truth of two people’s private relationship, so I’ll reserve judgment as to the details, but let me say this in general: I don’t trust bisexuals.

This wasn’t something I’d spent much time thinking about until I started studying radical feminism, which necessarily requires paying attention to lesbian feminism, and issues surrounding women’s sexuality in general. Once I started examining the Feminist Tumblr phenomenon, I encountered a seemingly interminable war over the boundary between lesbians and bisexual women — and the bisexuals were clearly the aggressors in that conflict. However, in a strange reversal of reality, bisexual women depicted lesbians as the villains in the conflict, asserting that it was “extremist” or “bigoted” for lesbians to exclude from their lives the possibility of relationships with (or attraction to) males.

Now, I can’t say how much this Tumblr quarrel reflects any real-life conflict inside the LGBT coalition, but it did make me think about why (some) guys are so absurdly enthusiastic about the idea of bisexual women, viewing them in terms of a porn-inspired fantasy of threesomes. This kind of fetishistic obsession is unhealthy, to say the least, and pursuing such fantasies can have disastrous consequences.

About 25 or 30 years ago, there were plenty of married guys who thought “swinging” (or polyamory, as it is nowadays called) was an excellent way to “spice up” their sex lives, and they would cajole their reluctant wives into trying it. These guys were typically eager to get their wives to replicate the “hot” girl-on-girl scenes that were so common in porn videos. And, having overcome their initial reluctance, some of these wives discovered they liked other women much better than they liked their porn-addicted weirdo husbands, leading to divorce. Oops.

Once you’ve heard a few sad tales like that, you tend to develop a dim view of the misguided notion that living out one’s wildest fantasies is necessary to self-fulfillment. “Lead us not into temptation,” see?

This brings me back around to my distrust of bisexuals, because here’s the thing: If lesbians don’t trust bisexual women, why should men?

Within the lesbian community, the negative stereotype of bisexual women is that they always end up going back to men. Is that true? Should this be celebrated as a triumph of the heteropatriarchy? I’m not sure. Bisexuality is quite trendy nowadays, and my hunch is that this trend bodes ill for the future because, despite the tendency to disparage bisexuality as “just a phase” or “they’re just doing it for attention,” such women are likely to have difficulty forming durable monogamous relationships. Of course, you’d need a lot of research studies to be able to demonstrate such a correlation in terms of social science, but old-fashioned common sense and anecdotal evidence suggests that the man who thinks it’s a smart idea to marry a bisexual woman may be bitterly disappointed by the result.

Johnny Depp probably wasn’t thinking in terms of statistical probability when he hooked up with Amber Heard. He was a middle-aged guy and she was a 26-year-old blonde — no, a guy in that situation doesn’t calculate the odds rationally. “Thinking with the wrong organ,” as they say, and maybe Amber Heard wasn’t shrewd and cunning, but just emotionally unstable, but either way, Johnny Depp got played for a chump.

Pay attention to those warning signs, guys.

    Amber Heard’s bisexuality is actually at the root of her problems with Depp, who according to sources, was uneasy with her relationships with other women, like model Cara Delvigne, and her female exe’s. As someone who has dated openly bisexual women, it’s a bad idea. It starts out as no big deal, but ends with the same issues Depp’s relationship with Heard had. You’re always suspicious of her female friends, and women have a way of flirting with one another that is different than when men do it, and its harder to intervene because it can make you look paranoid. Furthermore, they can’t deal with monogamy, and don’t view their same sex attractions when involved with a heterosexual partner, as a big deal, and feel they should be allowed to indulge it because it’s same sex, and to deny them is stifling in their mind.

    Interesting take. What I see is an additional factor of difficulty. A hookup or just dating is one thing, but a serious relationship? Marriage? You don’t need that kind of trouble. Marriage is about stability, commitment and trust.

    It’s almost always a bad idea to marry with that large an age difference. From the sounds of things, Depp was simply seeking a way to get back to his 20s.

    Absolutely. In his case, it’s like a really cliche “mid-life crisis” move. From all accounts, he had a good relationship with his former wife, and mother of his children, and probably left because “the excitement wasn’t there anymore”.

    Yeah, according to some of the press, his friends are saying he had problems with her from the start, and never should have married her. I would never have thought she was a Randoid, especially in Hollywood, but apparently that’s how she rationalized her self centered, amoral, hedonism. When I read that he had issues with some of the women she hung around with, I knew exactly the feeling, and the level of insecurity it can make you feel both in the relationship, and in yourself. Her defenders will undoubtedly make this about her LGBT status eventually, and that bisexuals are unfairly demonized. In fact, bisexual actress, Evan Rachel Wood, who also seems to have a total lack of stability in her relationships, is already doing just that, arguing that her bisexuality is irrelevant and that the press shouldn’t be talking about it at all. I really hate identity politics.

    In all fairness, how is a male friend going to tell a guy about the personality failings of his own wife? It’s not possible – it’s his wife. Blind spots or no, he knows her better than his buds. Why bother saying anything? No guy’s going to leave his wife on the word of his buds. It’s a thing you have to let play out and there’s no winning. You either keep your friend and shut up or cut yourself off and lose your friend… until it plays out – if ever. There’s always some intimate connection, even in abusing relationships, that only the couple truly understands. There’s some reciprocity there. We’ve all had buds with women you couldn’t stand.

    I’ve had a close friend with girlfriends I couldn’t figure out. Only much later did I learn he beat them and they stayed. Guess I didn’t know him as well as I thought, and we were real close. I had another good friend leave his wife for a good looking disaster. I tried to talk to him to no avail. His sticking up for her cost him his great job of many years. He left town and sank into misery. There are some men you just can’t talk to about this. They’re getting something at the time that’s worth more than anything.

    However, then there were my parents who met post WWII when my dad was a 35 year old ex- USN Lt. Cmdr. and my mom was the 19 year old secretary. They were devoted to each other until his death, Indeed in the thirty years since then, my mother has steadfastly refused to ever consider any other relationships, no matter how innocent. As she puts it, “no one will ever come close to your father.”

    Aside from your seriously misinformed mischaracterization of Ayn Rand, I agree with your assessment: if you can’t get along with the mother of your children, trading her in for a younger model isn’t likely to work out.
    .
    Ayn Rand actually agreed with many Christian notions of sexual morality, she just justified them differently. And while I certainly don’t understand it myself, her affair with Branden was with the consent of both of their spouses. She broke it off with him in 1965 after discovering that he took up with yet another woman without telling her or his wife. I don’t understand how men like Frank O’Connor conclude that it’s cool for their wives to take up with other men, or for women like Barbara Branden to be cool with their husbands having other women, but some of them actually do this.
    .
    If you want to see an actual Objectivist, take a look at the former CEO of BB&T Bank John Allison.
    .
    The rest of this is spot-on. He was thinking with his dick, and she wasn’t sane to begin with.

    Fixed it for you…

    Depp is a chump….simple as that.
    Despite wealth and fame he has never seen a Red Pill in his life….
    There is NOTHING wrong with a 50 year old guy banging a 20 something year old hot chick….it is in fact HIS DUTY to do so.
    But getting Married???? Without a Pre-Nup????
    That is simply stupid.

    You didn’t fix anything. The age thing is decisive. Were I remarrying tomorrow, I wouldn’t take a woman under about 48 yo. That would be 13 years, and it would be better if it were less than 10. Depp was thinking with his little head.
    The wealth thing takes a bit of care, but, in this case, it exacerbates the age difference problem. If I were worth half a billion, I wouldn’t change my standard on age at all.

  19. Quartermaster
    May 31st, 2016 @ 8:56 am

    16 years isn’t too bad. At one time it was common to have 20 years difference. It was expected that a man would establish himself in life before taking a wife, so marriages with him 40 and her 18-20 wasn’t uncommon.

    Please, spare us the “red pill”, alpha-male, reductionist, Darwinian bullshit that it’s the duty of 50 year old men to bang 20 somethings to propagate the species cuz evolution, Derp! Derp! Derp! Is it not clear that relationships are based more on human psychology than biology? Heard prefers women, so your theories just totally imploded, because by your conventional wisdom she should be madly in love with Depp since he has all the outward signs of success that supposedly set women on fire, but yet something still seems to be missing. You guys really have the most shallow conception of what is behind human intimacy and relationships, and still think that PUA tactics like negs are a quicker way to bedding a woman than trust, and respect.

    One thing that RSM is forgetting. Heard is an aging Hollywood actress. She’s now 30 years old and has never hit it big. Marrying Depp was probably an attempt to stay in the spotlight or generate enough publicity to get rmore and bigger roles.

    Think of it in terms of Anna Nicole Smith or all of Hefner’s girlfriends. They want a sugar-daddy, or someone who will open door to them that are currently closed.

    The ultimate Hollywood hypergamy marriage.

    While I have nothing against Depp personally, he has always struck me as a horribly immature person. I think that’s reflected in his body of work – whereas DiCaprio, for example, pushes himself in different roles, Depp pretty much just does quirky.

    Captain Jack Sparrow? Brilliant (at least in the first Pirates film – after that, tiresome). But that was one time his “I’ll play anything so long as it’s quirky” approach perfectly matched the role and film.

    Professionally, he’s more or less the class clown, always cutting up, always being outrageous, living for the throngs saying “I can’t believe you just did that!” but never showing any depth or seriousness.

    In general I do not identify an actor with his work. Harrison Ford is neither Han Solo nor Jack Ryan. But when an actor carves a niche by doing the same thing again and again with only the prosthetics and makeup changing, it’s hard to conclude anything other than what we see is what we get.

    Of course, immaturity is a common feature among that set. The entertainment sector is the apotheosis of our society’s obsession with arrested development and perpetual adolescence.

    Nobody said ANYTHING about propagating the species….I think the word I used was banging.

    Depp since he has all the outward signs of success that supposedly set women on fire, but yet something still seems to be missing.

    What is missing is the REDPILL…..he is a CHUMP (a nice guy maybe?)….He is there to be used and abused…..he proved that.
    The “outward signs” to attract women ARE THERE ….keeping them in is a different thing all together.

    Yeah, she’s past the young starlet phase of her career and getting her hooks into Depp could be seen as opportunistic, so if whatever personal benefit she hoped to gain from their marriage failed to materialize, why not score some points with her feminist friends in Hollywood by branding Depp an abusive misogynist in her dramatic exit?

    Johnny should have seen it coming, but he was thinking with the wrong organ….

    “Her defenders will undoubtedly make this about her LGBT status eventually, and that bisexuals are unfairly demonized. … I really hate identity politics.”

    The phrase “unfairly demonized” suggests that (a) there are no fair reasons to be suspicious about the ability of bisexuals to commit to stable relationships, and (b) that reasonable skepticism is the same as “demonization.”

    Am I advocating or endorsing hate crimes against bisexuals? No, I’m just saying that it is probably wise to avoid relationships with bisexuals — advice based in large measure on the bad opinion that lesbians express toward bisexual women. If lesbians don’t want to get involved with these women, should heterosexual men? Everyone is free to make their own choices, but I think caution is certainly warranted.

Yes, physically an 18 year old might look better, but beyond that what is there for a mature man of 50 years old to really be interested in with a girl that young? They certainly can’t relate, more than likely have little in common, don’t share the same values, level of experience, wisdom, etc. They’re at completely different places in life, too. And even to take it down to your base level, older women are better in bed than 18 year old females. This is what I’m saying: you just don’t get it.

    No, I’m not female. I’m a mature male adult, and I’m laughing at your pathetic state of mind. Thinking you were 25 was way too generous. At best you’re 17, and have never had a girlfriend. This is obvious to anyone when you claim anything beyond sex with a woman you have male friends for. Maybe you’re a homosexual? Try it with a guy, and then you’ll have everything you need in a relationship. Or maybe you already have and you’re not comfortable with it, and hiding in really sad displays of machismo? And your judgments about what’s good in bed comes from the fact that the majority of your sexual experience is jacking off to porn which is populated with coked out 18-22 year old women. Time for you to get those jammies on little man, get mommy to give you a boppie, and go to bed.

    “why not score some points with her feminist friends in Hollywood by branding Depp an abusive misogynist in her dramatic exit?”

    Once actors or actresses invoke the activist/identity politics cards as their means to prominence, it’s essentially an admission that they’re never going to hit it big or that their peak has ended, if ever they had one.

    Rose McGowan started playing the feminist scold of Hollywood once she aged out of the provocative temptress roles and was relegated to Lifetime TV movies.

    As for Ellen Page, I don’t know if she actually thought her hyped coming out speech was actually going to get her leading roles, or if she just realized she was never going to get beyond the annoying, smarmy, wisecracking, supporting roles and figured she would ride the gay card as far as it could take her. Right now, her best gig is hosting some tv show called “Gaycation.”

    Most gays and lesbians I have known had nothing but contempt for bisexuals, viewing them as shameless opportunists if not outright predators.

    In general, men have a code of honor (at least regarding relationships) that is lacking in women.

    Right, huge generalization. Plenty of scumbags and sleazes with testicles. But guys are models of decorum compared to a group of women who get their hooks into one of their own. A man seeing another with a beautiful woman is likely to admire the other man’s luck, or skill, or whatever. A woman is likely to start picking away at the other woman.
