Marilyn Manson used a racial slur against The Smashing Pumpkins’ James Iha during a text message conversation with Johnny Depp.The conversation happened in 2016 after Lindsay Usich (Manson’s current wife) allegedly “filed a police report” against Manson.The text accuses Usich of “pulling an Amber (Heard)” by getting the police involved but, according to Manson, it was only because her brother-in-law James Iha and her “poor, fat Mom want to steal my money”.

It’s here Manson uses a racial slur targeted at people of East Asian descent.According to the texts, Depp then offers Manson a place to “hide out”, if he needs it.More text messages between Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp pic.twitter.com/T02Mh1rrqU— kamilla (@k4mil1aa) July 31, 2022Thousands of pages of documents filed in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation case were unsealed at the end of last month, with Depp supporters paying over $3,300 (£2700) to access the files.At the start of June, the jury in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial gave their verdict, ruling in favour of Depp.The verdict was returned after almost 13 hours of deliberation across three days at the district court in Fairfax, Virginia.Depp has been awarded $10million (£8million) in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages.
