Johnny Depp’s Hollywood Hills home “raided while the actor was away with a suspected robbery suspect”

Johnny Depp’s Hollywood Hills home was broken into and a theft suspect was arrested over the weekend, according to a new report.

TMZ claims that a possibly homeless woman broke into the Oscar-nominated actor’s mansion over the weekend, with the home security system on and the police alerted.

The woman was reportedly startled by the alarm system and fled the property before the police arrived. It is not clear whether anything was taken from the 57-year-old actor’s home.

However, she was later found to be nearby with the police connecting her to another recent theft – and she was reportedly arrested on suspicion of theft.

It is understood that Depp was not at home at the time of the alleged robbery.

In 1995 Depp bought an eight-bedroom castle-like house from the 1920s in West Hollywood, in a four-acre eucalyptus grove.

Mailonline contacted representatives from Johnny Depp and the Los Angeles Police Department for comment.

The police incident comes amid a turbulent period for the actor, after the Supreme Court supported ex-wife Amber Heard’s allegations that Depp beat her during his marriage.

In November, Judge Nicol ruled that The Sun’s report alleging that Depp, 57, had been violent towards her was “substantially true”, and that the Pirates of the Caribbean star had scared her for his life while he stuffed himself of drink and drugs.

Depp appealed the Supreme Court verdict and is also suing Heard in the United States for a separate Washington Post article written two years ago, which means that the actress cannot speak freely about her legal battle with Depp.

Speaking to Sky News about her new role in a series based on a Stephen King novel, Heard said he asked her questions about being faced with ‘unbelievable circumstances and incredible adversity, and everything at stake’.

Heard’s new show, The Stand, shows it in the role of Nadine Cross, one of the survivors of a flu outbreak that kills 99% of the population, leading to a ‘struggle for the power of good and evil’.

Filming ended in March, just before the Covid pandemic spread around the world.

The star said: ‘Nothing could have prepared me for 2020, let’s face it. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that. I don’t think anything could have prepared me.

At the last legal hearing in Virginia between Heard and Depp this week, Fairfax County Judge Bruce D. White blocked Depp’s attempt to have Heard’s case against him removed from court amid a new law.

Heard was allowed to pursue his $ 100 million counterclaim against the actor after his lawyer Adam Waldman last year dubbed his domestic violence allegations ‘false’ and a ‘sexual violence fraud’, according to legal documents published in The Hollywood Reporter.

The Kentucky-born actor tried to use a new anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuits against public participation) law passed in the state last year to have the Heard lawsuit filed.

Depp failed in his allegations of anti-SLAPP immunity, the judge said, noting the lack of public concern and that actor Edward Scissorhands ‘may have made these statements with real or constructive knowledge or with careless oversight of being false.’

The judge added that Depp’s comments and Waldman’s ‘fraud’ indicate that Ms. Heard lied and perjured when she appeared in court in 2016 to obtain a temporary restraining order against Mr. Depp ‘and’ implies that she lied about being a victim of domestic violence.

‘In light of the #MeToo Movement and today’s social climate, falsely claiming abuse would certainly harm [Heard’s] reputation in the common evaluation of humanity ‘, wrote the judge in his decision. ‘Therefore, this Court considers that the statements contain the’ sting ‘requirement for an actionable defamation action.’

The judge concluded that Waldman’s statements do not fit the protected opinion, such as ‘whether Mr. Depp abused Mrs. Heard is a fact that can be proved true or false’.

In November, Depp was cut from Fantastic Beasts 3 by Warner Bros., playing Gellert Grindelwald on the JK Rowling series.

Depp’s case is scheduled to go to trial on May 3, while Heard’s case is due to go to court later this year.
