Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp has opened up about the ab*se he suffered at the hands of his late mother, Betty Sue Palmer.
This is not the first time he has spoken on the topic. During his 2022 defamation hearing, the result of a Wall Street Journal op-ed by his ex-wife Amber Heard, he detailed how he had suffered in his childhood.
More recently, in an interview with the United Kingdom’s The Telegraph, he claimed that he was actually thankful for it as his experiences affected his own approach to childrearing.
