After 33 years, Jennifer Grey describes how her relationship with Johhny Depp was in her book
and she describes how he was as well. She was also asked about the current defamation trial
Johhny Depp has been going through against his ex-wife Amber Heard. So what did Grey
have to say about Johnny and the trial? Jennifer Grey was a 1980s movie queen
who dirty-danced with Patrick Swayze and was engaged to Matthew Broderick,
her co-star in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now Grey is sharing details about her life
in a new memoir called "Out of the Corner," She discusses her relationships with men, among other
topics. One of her relationships was with Johnny Depp, who is currently in the news due to his
defamation suit against ex-wife Amber Heard. Grey described her connection with Depp as a
"bonfire" in the book, and she told Rachel Lindsay of "Extra" about the Johnny she knew years ago.
"Funny and kind and just so charming and quirky and funny and self-effacing and just
so distinctive and gorgeous," is what Jennifer said of Johhny Depp. she also said that he
was enamored with her and romantic. The ex-couple met on a blind date,
and the actress from Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a big fan of the relationship at first.
She described their dates saying that they ate, talked, drank Jack Daniel's, laughed their heads
off, and had mid-course cigarette breaks. She stated the obvious that he was unbelievably
attractive. In her book, she describes him as “surprisingly open, funny, quirky, and sweet,”
However, as Johnny's calendar began to fill up, she began to notice his absence and irritability.
And he'd begun missing his flights home to LA because he'd overslept, or he'd be insanely
jealous and paranoid about what she’d been up to while he was gone when he did return.
“I attributed his ill-temper and unhappiness to him feeling miserable and powerless to get
off 21 Jump Street,” she says The two were shortly engaged,
but the Dirty Dancing star called it off after his failure to show up after a meeting at their home.
And when Rachel asked Grey if she was surprised by what she had seen or heard about him now,
Grey simply replied: "I haven't seen him in 30 years," continued “I haven’t talked
to him. I haven’t seen him... The whole thing makes me insanely sad for everybody involved.
These are people who are damaged and continuing to damage each other. It’s sad. I don’t have an
opinion, except it breaks my heart... I just knew him in a very different time.”
She also said: “I will say that I haven't watched any of it. I don't even know how to. I don't even
know how to get Court TV. I don't even know where it would be. But from clips or things that I've
come across, I don't recognize the person. It's nothing to do with anything that I've
ever experienced, and it makes me sad. I don't understand what's going on,
and I just want everyone to be okay." Her answer left a lot of fans furious
because she didn’t defend her ex-husband as some of his exes and friends did!
If you don’t know, Vanessa Paradis wrote a letter defending Depp. the letter reads:
"Johnny Depp is the father of my two children, he is a sensitive, loving, and loved person. I
believe with all my heart that these recent allegations made are outrageous,
in all the years I have known Johnny he has never been physically abusive with me
and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years."
And even Sir Paul McCartney paid a tribute to Johnny at a recent concert in Climate
Pledge Arena in Seattle on Monday (May 2). Paul McCartney showed a video of long-time
buddy Johnny Depp. The video is from his performance of 'My Valentine'.
Jill Vedder, a philanthropist and the wife of Pearl Jam frontman Eddie, released a video of the
song to Instagram, with Depp's picture plainly visible behind McCartney while he performs on
piano. She posted it alongside a comment defending the actor. "Might be controversial to post this
video with J.D / Don’t care / Know him only to be a gentleman .. And while I support women and
the “me too” movement / I also know some women who have destroyed the lives of innocent & good
men. .. @johnnydepp ... p.s verbal abuse is not cool either.. watch your tongue.”
But the social media reaction was mixed as a Twitter user shamed Paul McCartney and wrote:
“Shame on @PaulMcCartney. After the stuff he went through with Heather Mills,
he should know better.” Meanwhile, @LloydLittle added: How could you possibly be team, Depp?
Please don’t tell us this is just a Yoko backlash? Wounded...”
But what makes sense is that Vanessa, Jill, and Sir Paul knew Johnny Depp closely! More
than any Twitter user! And not only 3 of them but when Amber accused Johnny of pushing kate
moss from the stairs, old interviews of Kate speaking well of Johnny have surfaced.
Amber has mentioned Moss while recounting how she slapped Depp in the face for the first time
in a 2015 fight at the top of a stairwell in Los Angeles with her sister present.
"Whitney, my sister, all of a sudden put herself in between Johnny and I," Heard testified.
"She threw herself like in the line of fire," about her sister.
"All of a sudden she was there and she was trying to get Johnny to stop.
Her back was to the staircase, and Johnny swings at her." Heard added:
"I don't hesitate. I don't wait. I instantly think of Kate Moss and the stairs and I swung at him."
And immediately after she said that Johnny’s team started celebrating! We could see Ben Chew turning
around towards his colleague Camille Vasquez. For all we know, Kate Moss told Vanity Fair that no
one has ever taken care of her as Johnny did! Jennifer also talked about her involvement in
a catastrophic vehicle accident in Ireland in 1987. Broderick was driving the car.
She expressed that It was the most horrible occurrence she’s ever experienced and that
she was the only living witness to this extremely public, awful catastrophic event
in which two people were killed, she continued saying that she was almost killed and that her
partner was gravely hurt...extremely hurt that she believed that he was dead
“I was in such a state of shock I didn’t feel excited about my movie.” Jennifer recalled the
accident, which occurred just before the release of her megahit "Dirty Dancing."
Grey co-starred in the film with the late Patrick Swayze, and she told Rachel that he was such
a good person behind the scenes. “He was such a good person. Such a big heart. Like, really kind.”
"We were not natural mates," she added. She explained that they were not a good
match as they were from different worlds and she was dating Matthew Broderick,"
she continued ”Matthew was the love of my life." 33 years later, She's back as Baby, starring
in and producing a "Dirty Dancing" sequel. according to Grey, the sequel is not going
to be a rerun, as it has to stand on its own. Her new novel, "Out of the Corner," was inspired
by the famous line from "Dirty Dancing," which says: "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
she told Rachel: “I thought, ‘I have to live up to that...’ The more I looked, the more I saw a story
that I had been telling myself was not the best story... I realized I had put myself in corners...
Suddenly, I have more power... When I wrote it, it was the greatest thing for me.”
When it came to Broderick, who Grey met while filming Ferris Bueller's Day Off,
the actress stated she didn't tell him about the book or his role in it. She explained that she had
no choice but to compose her own interpretation of the story. "I had to write my version of
the story. Everyone has a right to tell their story, and all I do is talk about my choices,
my part, how it affected me," she explained. "All I know is, he and every single person that I've
written about in the book, I loved." If you think that was interesting,
