Amber Heard hired a private detective who used to be an adult film star to dig up dirt on her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, in the summer of 2019. Paul Barresi was a mustachioed stud who appeared in Co-ed Fever, Bad Girls II and other X-rated films. Reinvented as a private detective, he’s worked for Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy and Sylvester Stallone. Now he’s an issue in Depp’s US$50mil defamation suit against his ex-wife, who claims the actor repeatedly assaulted her. In a deposition taken in April 2021, Depp’s lawyer Ben Chew asked Heard’s former attorney Eric George whether he was aware of Barresi’s history in adult film. When George’s lawyers instructed George not to answer, Chew quickly said: “We’re going to fight this another day.” Chew then asked George what tasks he gave to Barresi with respect to investigating Depp. This inquiry was also met with objection from George’s counsel and instructions for him not to answer. Barresi told me: “It was Amber herself who assigned me … [Read more...] about Amber Heard hired ex-porn star-turned-detective to dig up dirt on Johnny Depp

Royal Challengers Bangalore sneeked into the play-offs after Mumbai Indians broke Delhi Capitals' heart with a five-wicket win in their last IPL match on Saturday. Already out of contention, MI played partypoopers as they first restricted DC to 159 for 7 with Jasprit Bumrah snapping three wickets and then returned to overhaul the target in 19.1 overs to knock the 2020 finalists out of the tournament. While Ishan Kishan (48) and Dewald Brevis (37) kept MI in the hunt, it was Tim David's 11-ball 34-run cameo that brought the five-time champions back into the chase. Tilak Varma also chipped in with a crucial 17-ball 21. With MI at 95 for 3 in 14.3 overs, DC skipper Rishabh Pant made a strategic blunder as he refused to go for DRS after David nicked the first ball of his innings but the onfield umpire didn't give him out. It came back to haunt DC as David slammed fours and sixes at will to bring down the equation to 15 off 14 balls. Ramandeep then provided the finishing touch … [Read more...] about IPL 2022 | RCB seal last playoff berth after MI beat DC by five wickets
