I was surprised and laughed hysterically when Amber Heard's team accused Johnny Depp of orchestrating this petition in recent court testimony in London. Johnny Depp is suing the Sun tabloid for calling him a wife-beater, remember. And Amber's team brought it up. Johnny was forced to answer about it. 

I didn't realize that Johnny or Amber were even aware of our little petition until then. 

I keep seeing articles repeating the same notion, that Johnny Depp colluded with me to start this thing. Another one came out just the other day. I still think it's hysterical, but the ore I see it, the more I wonder. Am I going to have to testify that I alone started this thing? The more she pushes, the more I think I might actually have to.

Not that I mind at all. I started this thing for a specific reason, and I still have a clear conscience about it. I do not believe that a serial abuser should be celebrated in the entertainment industry. I said it on the front page and I still believe it. If I'm called to the stand, that's exactly what I'll say. 

And if they ask me why I write under the name Jeannie Depp, I'll tell them. It has more to do with me than him. (I simply didn't want my ex to see his name on my work anymore, so I chose another name to use, one that I hoped would best serve my work.)

If they want to twist that into something ugly, I can't stop them. All I can do is tell the truth. Unlike the defendant, I haven't done anything that I should be ashamed of.

It would be cool to see Johnny in person, though. So I hope they DO call me for Virginia.
