'I wouldn't wish him on my worst enemy!': Rachel Riley trolled for BRUTAL swing at Johnny Depp
Rachel Riley stated on Wednesday, May 18 that she "wouldn't wish" Johnny Depp on her "worst enemy" after sharing a Twitter thread calling the actor "problematic." The 36-year-old Countdown actor reposted a piece, which detailed claims about Depp's history as he continues to battle ex-wife Amber Heard in court for the ongoing defamation trial.
It also referenced his relationship with Marylin Manson, who was accused of physical and sexual assault in early 2021 by ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and several other women, which he has rejected. The thread reportedly claimed that 'Johnny groomed Winona Rider when she was 17 and he was nearing 30' and that the actor had a 'history of homophobia,' however, there is no proof to back up these accusations.

Riley then shared a tweet from domestic abuse researcher Emma Katz, which contained a link to an article titled 'The Myth of Mutual Abuse' from the National Domestic Violence Hotline in the United States. "Many times, we speak with survivors of abuse who want to address concerns they have about their own behaviors," according to the article.

"They will often express that their relationship is mutually abusive, a concept used when describing a relationship where both partners are abusive towards one another. Abuse is about an imbalance of power and control. In an unhealthy or abusive relationship, there may be unhealthy behaviors from both/all partners, but in an abusive relationship, one person tends to have more control than the other," the article stated.
Many users were quick to share their knowledge with Riley. One user wrote, "The jury is very much out on whether he has hit her. But Heard has been recorded admitting she hit him on several occasions, severed his finger, belittled him, and still hasn't paid the $charity she told the world she had donated. So I hope your opinion of her is at least the same."

Depp is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, for defamation following an op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post in 2018 in which she discussed her experience as a victim of domestic abuse. Heard, the Aquaman star has countersued for $100 million, and the court case has gotten a lot of attention in recent weeks, with Heard stating that her husband abused and threatened her.
