Meet Stephen Deuters, Johnny Depp’s Friend/Personal Assistant
Stephen Deuters has been Johnny Depp’s personal assistant since 2004. Although not one of the most prominent faces in Johnny’s team, Stephen has appeared with the star at film festivals such as the 68th San Sebastian International Film Festival and the 16th Zurich Film Festival in 2020.
Unsurprisingly, Stephen was also called Johnny’s “former right-hand man” by Page Six.
So when Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard began their legal battle, it was understandable that Stephen would be asked to testify on their behalf.
During their legal battle in 2020—when Johnny sued News Group Newspapers for calling him a “wife beater”—Stephen claimed that he had never seen Johnny abuse Amber. On the other hand, he had witnessed Amber abusing Johnny “multiple times.”
Additionally, at that time, private messages (dating back to May 26, 2016) between Stephen and actor Paul Bettany surfaced, in which Stephen called Amber a “sick show horse. Cunning dominatrix. Useless bitch. Get off on shit.” And for this, Stephen apologized and stated that he would never use such language to describe a woman.
When questioned by Johnny’s lawyer, Stephen only said that Johnny and Amber “were two people who loved each other but shouldn’t have been together.”
By April 2022, Johnny was in another legal battle against Amber for defamation for $50 million. Once again, Stephen was asked to testify on his behalf.
According to official court documents, Amber is accused of defaming Johnny in a 2018 Washington Post editorial. Meanwhile, Amber also filed a counter-suit accusing her ex-husband of allegedly orchestrating a “smear campaign” against her.
The trial begins on April 11, 2022, and is expected to last a total of six weeks.
