An allegedly drunk Jason Momoa dressed like Johnny Depp on ‘Aquaman 2’ set and pushed to have Amber Heard ousted from the role of superhero Mera from the movie, according to a recent report.
Fans of the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor paid court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes, in which the revelation about Momoa was written down. These were raw notes taken by the therapist, which were part of last year’s high-profile defamation trial between Depp and Heard in a Virginia court, in which the actor emerged as the winner.
Documents from the Depp-Heard defamation trial surfaced on Reddit. “Jason said he wanted me fired,” the notes say. “Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.”
A DC spokesperson pushed back on Heard’s description, telling Variety, “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.’”
Variety also spoke to an insider who was on the London set in 2021, saying, “Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set. And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style.” The insider added that the two stars got along and were seen joking together on the set.
Here are some of the reactions blasting Momoa on social media after the report came out:
The therapy session in question was conducted on December 27, 2021, and the set was of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
In the therapy sessions, Heard added that he felt unsupported by the film’s director, James Wan. She also mentioned that she was treated like a pariah because of her legal battle with her ex-husband. “He raised his voice @ me — ‘I can’t even post about Aquaman’ — made it like it was my fault – I said ‘I’m sorry,’” say Hughes’ notes in reference to Wan. “Nobody could take selfies with me on set given blackout.”
