Amber Heard told her therapist Jason Momoa was purposely dressing like her ex Johnny Depp while filming the ‘Aquaman’ sequel … one of many claims just now coming to light.
The news comes courtesy of new legal docs from Amber’s defamation trial last year, which were recently made public … and detail some startling allegations she made in therapy sessions back in 2021, when she and Jason were working on ‘A2.’
During one particular session in December of that year, she said she felt Jason was seemingly trying to play mind games with her by intentionally copying JD’s fashion sense, right down to his multi-fingered rings … according to Variety.
There are more allegations she made about Jason to her therapist at the time — including a claim he was intoxicated on set, and that he was working to get her fired.
A rep for DC denied these characterizations, saying … “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” A separate source told Variety, Jason’s fashion sensibility naturally reflects a bohemian style … pushing back on Amber feeling he was trying to torment her.
There are a lot more juicy nuggets in the docs … including the allegation Warner/DC tried canning Amber ahead of filming of ‘Aquaman 2’ — but not because of her Johnny drama, but more so over a perceived lack of chemistry with Jason.
Amber’s then-boyfriend, Elon Musk, fired off a letter to the studio on the heels of that … threatening to “burn the house down” at WB, according to Variety.
If true, you’d have to say it worked … they did keep Amber, although a handful of her scenes were cut down in the final edit of ‘Aquaman 2; — including a love scene with JM.
It’s a peek behind the curtain amid a lot of speculation at the time over how much the Amber-Johnny saga had affected their respective work prospects — especially for Amber, who came under intense criticism in the wake of Johnny’s victory. Remember, fans wanted her character, Mera, completely recast, and a viral petition got started over it … to no avail.
Now, ‘A2’ is set to hit theaters in December … and time will tell what the box office will be. The first one was a massive success, but insiders say this new one hasn’t landed so well with audiences in test screenings, which has spurred a number of reshoots/new cuts.
In any case, we’ve reached out to both Amber and Jason’s teams … so far, no word back.
