Kate Moss has to testify for Johnny Depp this week and open the lid on their wild, debauched, and sometimes stupid relationship.
Kate Moss has never had trouble talking about Johnny Depp.
In the mid-1990s, a British morning TV presenter asked the supermodel about how romantic her boyfriend was at the time, and revealed that Depp liked to surprise her with parties and gifts.
“Oh, come on, what kind of presents?” he asked The Great Breakfast host Gaby Roslin.
“He gave me a diamond necklace he had hidden in my asshole!” The moss whistled.
Years later, he recalled the jewelry, he reports The New York Post.
“He said, ‘Come on, let’s go to the (New York institution) Russian tea room for dinner’ … as we walked out the door, I don’t know what it is, you’ll look at me, ” he told Nick Knight’s Fashion Film.
“I only knew him three months ago! I put my hand on the back of his pants and took off this Tiffany necklace. It was nice not to find a bull. This necklace is a fucking class …”
It’s probably not a story Moss will repeat on Wednesday, when he appears on video to testify on behalf of Depp in his defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Instead, Moss, 48, is expected to explain how Depp swept her once and took her after he slid down the stairs, according to sources.
Moss was caught up in the legal drama when Heard, 36, told the jury about a fight in March 2015 in which he punched Depp, 58, for fear of pushing his sister, Whitney Henriquez, by a ladder.
He Aquaman The actor said Mrs. Henriquez was near a staircase “on the line of fire … trying to stop Johnny,” which reminded her of a rumored incident between Moss and Depp.
“[Whitney’s] her back was on the ladder, and Johnny swayed toward her, “Heard declared.” I don’t doubt it, I don’t expect it; I just think of Kate Moss and the stairs in my head. “
Mentioning the alleged misconduct, Heard inadvertently allowed Depp’s lawyers to call the model as a witness.
A source familiar with the case said so The mail that Moss will recount an incident that sounds more romantic than traumatic, when “he was going down some stairs in Jamaica. He was wearing flip-flops and slipped down the last two stairs. Johnny picked her up and took care of her. “
Decadent and volatile relationship
Depp and Moss were the iconic couple of the ’90s. Decadent and volatile, their passionate romance, which lasted from 1994 to 1997, took them from London to Hollywood and Cannes, sometimes leaving chaos in their wake.
The actor, who found fame in television series Carrer del Salt, 21, was 31, and Moss was 20 when they met. “I knew from the first moment we talked that we would be together,” the model said.
Fashion writer and ex Vanity Fair Columnist George Wayne introduced them in 1994 “at the Tabac Cafe in the East Village (New York),” he posted on Instagram. “She went in with Naomi to our favorite meeting place back then … I grabbed her hand and immediately took her to Johnny’s table in the middle of the restaurant.” Johnny, this is Kate. “Kate, you know Johnny.”
Depp has claimed that he and Moss had sex in each of the 63 rooms of the legendary Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and reportedly filled a tub with champagne at the Portobello Hotel in London to bathe. .
The couple’s ranks were legendary
But his passionate ranks, with rumors of shouting matches, were legendary.
In September 1994, police were called to the Mark Hotel in New York, where they found Moss and a “possibly intoxicated” Depp in a presidential suite ruined after an alleged fight.
Depp blamed the mess on an armadillo who said he was hiding in the closet. No such creatures were found.
A criminal court judge dismissed the indictment against Depp on the condition that he stay out of trouble for six months. The actor paid The Mark more than $ 2,000 in damages.
Although the couple resigned in 1997 after three years and a rumor of engagement, they briefly appeared together at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1998, where Moss was reprimanded for wearing his bikini in the hallways of the legendary Hotel du Cap- Eden-Roc. . In response, he reportedly ruined his hotel room and was banned from setting foot in the place for life.
Perhaps it was still being done above Depp, who has taken responsibility for their separation.
“I’ve never been so excited about a woman before,” Depp said in an interview Hello magazine in 1998. “I was very stupid because we had a lot to do for our relationship. I’m the one who has to take responsibility for what happened, I struggled to move on, I let my work get in the way and I didn’t pay attention to what I should have done.
“It was all crazy because I should never have cared so much about what people had to say about my job,” he said.
“I’m sure I’ll have to worry about my movies, but when I get home I’ll have to try to stay behind. I couldn’t do that and it was horrible to live in it. Trust me, sometimes I’m an idiot total “.
“Years and Years of Crying” by Moss
Moss, for his part, admitted that he fought for a long time after his breakup, saying Vanity Fair in 2012: “No one has been able to take care of me. Johnny did a little. I believed what he said. As if to say, “What am I doing?” he would tell me. And that’s what I missed when I left. I really missed this indicator of someone I could trust.
“Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears! “She added.
Although they both married each other, they stay close.

This is not the first time Heard has mentioned Moss in court. In 2020, Depp was involved in a defamation case against the UK The sun a diary about an article calling her a “women’s hitter.” Heard admitted in court that he beat the actor for fear of being attacked by his sister, Whitney.
“I hit Johnny that day, in defense of my sister,” he said in reference to the March 2015 fight. Heard claimed his sister was standing at the top of a ladder.
“I felt like I was pushing an old girl, I think it was Kate Moss, down the stairs. And I thought about it right away and reacted in defense of her. [Whitney]. ”
Depp lost the case after Judge Andrew Nicol ruled The sun proved that the article was “substantially true.”

Meanwhile, Paradis said in a statement to the court: “This is not at all like the real Johnny I met … This is so annoying because he has helped so many people in his personal and professional life, with kindness and generosity.” .
So did Depp’s first forgotten wife, Lori Anne Allison The mail that she was by his side.
