A recent report that details the many issues surrounding Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has revealed that Amber Heard believed co-star Jason Momoa showed up to the set drunk and was intentionally dressing like Johnny Depp.
The revelation comes from notes written by Heard’s therapist Dr. Dawn Hughes that were part of the high profile trial between the pair in the summer of 2022.
The documents, which were made public after, according to Variety, “Depp fans paid the court fees for their release”, see Heard claiming that Momoa wanted her fired and would show up to set drunk and dressed like Depp.
“Jason said he wanted me fired,” the notes say. “Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.”
A rep for Momoa declined comment, but a DC spokesperson pushed back on Heard’s characterization, saying, “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” [via Variety]
In addition to the spokesperson for DC Studios, Variety spoke to a source who was on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom that also painted a different picture than the one Heard presented to her therapist.
“Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set,” said the inside. “And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style.”
The findings in Heard’s therapist’s notes were just many notable details from Variety‘s report, which also revealed that Elon Musk had one of his lawyers threaten Warner Bros. in order to make sure that Heard — who he dated briefly in 2017 — wasn’t fired from the project.
While Heard’s character Mera remains in the film, sources say that “at least two” of her scenes were cut, including an action set piece with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta and a love scene with Momoa.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be hitting movie theaters in the United States on Wednesday, December 20. In addition to Momoa and Heard, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Kidman, Dolph Lundgren, and Temuera Morrison also star.
