Howard Stern calls Johnny Depp ‘huge narcissist,’ says he’s ‘overacting’ in defamation trial

Howard Stern had some less-than-kind things to say about Johnny Depp‘s behaviour in his ongoing, fully televised defamation trial against the actor’s ex-wife Amber Heard.On Monday’s episode of radio’s The Howard Stern Show, Stern and co-host Robin Quivers discussed the trial.

Stern, 68, called Depp a “huge narcissist” and claimed he was “overacting” during his testimony.Stern hypothesized the reason for the trial being televised was Depp’s own doing.“The reason he wanted that on — he wanted it televised — is that’s what narcissists do,” said Stern. “They think they can talk their way out of anything.” Johnny Depp says he was ‘broken’ as his testimony ends in Amber Heard defamation trial Neither Depp nor Heard had a say in the allowance of cameras in the courtroom, though Heard’s legal team attempted to have cameras removed.“I think Johnny Depp is a huge narcissist and what I mean by that is — he figured, ‘I’ll put this on TV and because I’m so persuasive and because I’m so smart, I’m such a wonderful guy,'” Stern continued on-air.“He’s so overacting,” said Stern. “He’s writing his own material as he goes along.

You know, I got to tell you, he’s wrong. He shouldn’t be putting this on TV in any shape.” Johnny Depp jurors shown actor’s explicit, disturbing texts about Amber Heard Quivers sympathized in the broadcast, saying Depp is “trying to save his career.”She added, “I don’t think this is going to help.”“It’s not going well for (Depp), it’s not going well for her.

It’s not going well for anybody. You sound like two battling children,” Stern said.Stern and Quivers also poked fun at Depp’s speaking patterns and cadence.“First of all, his difficulty in speaking the English language is fantastic!” Stern joked.
