Eminem Makes Amber Heard Subject of Brutal Punchline With Reference to ‘Disgusting’ Act From Johnny Depp Trial
Eminem makes Amber Heard subject of brutal punchline with reference to ‘disgusting’ act from Johnny Depp trial The rapper hasn’t held back on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) – and even Amber Heard is in the firing line Just when you think something’s finally been put to bed – no pun intended – you can count on Eminem to bring it back up again and remind us all about it.
The Detroit rapper, 51, hasn’t held back on his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), which sees him kill off his alter-ego while addressing some very topical issues. He’s never been one to shy away from including controversial subjects in his songs, shocking fans with his insane wordplay and below the belt barbs towards other famous faces – but targeting Amber Heard is a new one.
Forget Eminem dissing Diddy on the track ‘Antichrist’ or addressing his future death on ‘Temporary’, as it’s the seventh track on his 12th album which left listeners open-mouthed. He made Aquaman star Heard, 38, the subject of a brutal punchline in the song ‘Lucifer’, which centred around a certain embarrassing incident, which emerged during the defamation trial she fought against her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

A lot has gone in since the former couple battled it out in court and a jury in Virginia, US, unanimously ruled in The Pirates of the Caribbean actor’s favour, but there was one detail which has managed to stick in a lot of our minds.
It’s clearly inserted itself firmly into Eminem’s memory too, seen as though he brings it up on ‘Lucifer’. While wrapping up his second verse on the song, he says: “My s**t is like taking Deborah Mathers at her word “Yeah, I’m that absurd, we had a spat, then afterwards “We squashed the beef like a hamburger patty, or should I say gigantic turd? “‘Cause I put that s**t to bed like Amber Heard at a Mattress Firm.”
So as well as getting in yet another shot at his mother’s poor parenting, Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – decided to also touch on Heard’s toilet habits – or lack thereof.

For those who need a refresher in all of the details which emerged during the Depp v Heard trial, something quite gross came to light while Starling Jenkins III was on the stand. The longtime executive chauffeur and security guard, who first met the Edward Scissorhands star in 1993, explained that Heard had made a bizarre admission about a ‘horrible practical joke gone wrong’ while he drove her to Coachella.
Recalling the conversation, he told the court that he and Heard had ‘a conversation pertaining to the surprise she left in the boss’s bed’ after allegedly arguing with Depp, 61, during her 30th birthday party before she headed to the festival.
The surprise was, of course, ‘the defecation’ which had been left on their bed. Speaking on the stand, Depp recalled how he had intended to head to their home to collect some things while his then-wife was out of town, only for Jenkins to warn him ‘it wasn’t a good time to go’.

He explained: “And I thought, ‘It’s the perfect time. She’s not going to be home for two days.’ Then he showed me a photograph on his telephone of…it was a photograph of our bed, and on my side of the bed, was human fecal matter.” According to the actor, Heard ‘tried to blame’ the mess on their dogs. Depp added: “They’re teacup Yorkies. They weigh about 4 pounds each.
The photograph that I saw – I lived with those dogs for many years. It was not the dogs.” In the trial, Heard also said that Depp’s dog, Boo, had ‘bowel control issues’, and when asked to clarify if she’d committed ‘any prank’ in relation to the fecal matter, she said: “Absolutely not.” Although all this s**t talk had long died down, Eminem clearly thinks we shouldn’t forget it so easily.
By the way, if you are going to rush off and listen to ‘Lucifer’ or the entire The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) for yourself now, just remember that the rapper issued a warning about what order you play it in. As it’s a ‘conceptual album’, Eminem told fans it ‘might not make sense’ if it isn’t listened to chronologically.
