UPDATED!
[Blind Gossip] We told you last week about a celebrity who lied about why she was in a hospital.
Now we have another liar for you!
This one is a very famous actor, whose filming on a major franchise was halted when he suffered a serious injury.
However, the injury didn’t happen the way it was reported!
The truth is that he was not in a moving vehicle at all. He was actually in his mate’s house, he was totally drunk, and his injury occurred during a fit of anger.
Of course, his reps do not want you to know that in real life he is an angry, out-of-control alcoholic. So they fabricated a story that made the accident seem completely innocent and playful.
Did the film’s insurers buy the phony story? Did you buy it? Aye, you did, didn’t you?

Actor: Johnny Depp
Franchise: Pirates of the Caribbean
Remember when Johnny Depp “broke his hand” in March 2015? His reps said that he injured it in an outdoor “go-kart accident” in Australia while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
No.
Right after it happened, Blind Gossip told you that the “go-kart accident”/”broken hand” story was a lie. We told you that he actually injured himself in a house, and it happened because he was drunk and injured himself in a fit of anger.
Well, we were right… and we have all the gory details of what really happened!
It is now being revealed that Johnny Depp accidentally sliced off a significant part of his finger inside the house. He did this while angry at Amber Heard. It is unclear if Heard was in the house with Depp at the time of the incident.
Heard had been filming a movie with Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband. Depp’s fit of anger supposedly stemmed from his belief that Heard had cheated on him with Thornton.
While drunk and angry, Depp proceeded to smash bottles and windows inside of the rented home. He accidentally lost part of his finger. Depp then took the sliced finger, dipped it in paint, and wrote his accusations against Heard on the wall in a combination of blood and paint. Ewww.
Surgeons used another part of Depp’s hand to reconstruct the part he had sliced off. That’s why Depp’s entire hand was bandaged after the accident.
From TMZ:
Johnny Depp Cuts Off Fingertip in Fit of Rage … Amber Claims
Johnny Depp accidentally cut off his fingertip in a fit of rage … then dipped the stump in dark blue paint and wrote on the wall in paint and blood the name “Billy Bob” — the actor with whom Johnny accused Amber Heard of cheating — this according to Amber and her people.
We’re told the incident went down in March of last year, just a month after Amber and Johnny married. They were in a villa in Australia when a fierce argument erupted.
According to Amber’s version of events Johnny, who was drunk and high on ecstasy, smashed several bottles and windows and also slammed a plastic phone against the wall unit. She claims a piece of one of the items cut off a portion of his forefinger.
Amber’s version goes on … she’s a painter and had dark blue paint in the room. She claims Johnny dipped what remained of his forefinger in the paint and then used the gnarly digit to write various words on the wall, including “Billy Bob” and “Easy Amber.”
Amber had done a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and she claims Johnny accused the 2 of sleeping together — something she strongly denied, adding he accused her of infidelity with other men as well.
Amber’s people say Johnny didn’t get medical help for nearly 24 hours, so doctors could not reattach the fingertip … they used a flap from his hand to sew on a new tip.

They do not want you to know that in real life he is an angry, out-of-control, black-out drunk. So they fabricated the “go-kart accident”/”broken hand” lie to make the injury seem completely innocent and playful.
Depp’s team also lied because alcoholic, violent movie stars who hurt themselves and others can’t get insurance, which is a critical component in film financing and production.
Congratulations to Katerboo24 for being first with the correct answer!
Did you catch the clues? Australia clue: mates. Pirating clue: aye. Put Australia and pirate together… and you should have come up with Johnny Depp!
UPDATE!
Amber Heard has just released some more details about the night that Johnny Depp cut off the tip of his finger in what he originally claimed was a “go-kart” accident in Australia.
Blind Gossip was the FIRST to tell you that his story was a lie.
We knew that Depp had hurt his finger/hand inside the house while fighting with Amber Heard, but it has taken a four years to find out exactly what happened that night.
It turns out that the accident occurred during a wild, sleepless, three-day, alcohol and drug-fueled bender during which Depp continuously raged at Heard and injured himself in the process.
From NY Post:
Amber Heard recounts horrific abuse at hands of ‘Monster’ Johnny Depp
The couple married in February 2015. Yet just a month into their marriage, Heard goes on to allege that, in March 2015, Depp — who was supposed to be clean at the time but didn’t believe taking ecstasy broke his sobriety — went on a three-day bender on MDMA/ecstasy in Australia.
“Johnny told me that I had not explicitly forbidden him from taking ecstasy. The argument heated up, and Johnny pushed me, slapped me, and shoved me to the ground before I retreated to a locked bedroom.”
That’s scary.
But it gets even worse!
The next morning, “I went downstairs to find that Johnny was still awake, and that he had stayed up all night, having taken about eight MDMA pills. He was also drinking again. We got into a fight that Johnny made physical, and I barricaded myself in one of the rooms. That didn’t stop Johnny from busting through the door of the room I was in.
“By nightfall, Johnny had hit me multiple times, shoved and pushed me to the ground, choked me, and spit in my face.
“Johnny then handed me a liquor bottle that he was drinking from, and asked me, ‘What are you going to do?’ I threw the bottle on the floor. Johnny responded by starting to throw cans and unopened glass bottles at me. . .
“That night, Johnny shoved me into a ping pong table that collapsed underneath me. Johnny threw bottles through the window panels of a glass door, breaking two panes, and leaving glass everywhere. Johnny then grabbed me, gripping my body and nightgown. He tore the nightgown off, and at some point, I was n*ked and barefoot, covered in alcohol and glass.
He didn’t stop there.
“Johnny grabbed me by my hair and choked me against the refrigerator in the kitchen. I tried to stand myself up but I was sliding around the glass-strewn floor and countertop. Johnny threw me away from him, and I tried to run away as Johnny continued to throw objects and alcohol at me.
“In one of the most horrific and scariest moments of this three-day ordeal, Johnny grabbed me by the neck and collarbone and slammed me against the countertop. I struggled to stand up as he strangled me, but my arms and feet kept slipping and sliding on to the spilled alcohol and were dragged against the broken glass on the countertop and floor, which repeatedly slashed my feet and arms. Scared for my life, I told Johnny, ‘You are hurting me and cutting me.’
Johnny ignored me, continuing to hit me with the back of one closed hand, and slamming a hard plastic phone against a wall with his other until it was smashed into smithereens. While he was smashing the phone, Johnny severely injured his finger, cutting off the tip of it. . . . Once I was able to get away, I barricaded myself in an upstairs bedroom.
Now comes the artistic part of the program.
“On the third day of Johnny staying awake without sleeping, I came downstairs to find numerous messages Johnny had written to me around the house, on the walls and on my clothes, written in a combination of oil paint and the blood from his broken and severed finger. Johnny also urinated all over the house.”
Heard states that the actor was finally hospitalized, and Heard states she was left with “a busted lip, a swollen nose, and cuts all over my body . . . to this day, I still have scars on my arms and feet from this incident.”
This story is part of the ongoing legal battle between Depp and Heard. Amber Heard detailed this event as part of her Virginia court filing in response to Depp’s $50 million defamation lawsuit against her.
