Records of Depp’s texts read “Have you heard from Manson’s Ryan..??” (the alleged assistant) and “Yes and yes and of course!!! Yes please!! And you will pay Ryan for it!!!??” then “Disappearer!!! We should have more happy pills!!!?? Can you???”

A further text reads, “Hello. Master D … I say I do believe that Ryan (Munson’s) just gave you a wee baggage for me…??? Where does it reside??? X.”

The texts were confirmed by Depp in court to have been sent in March of 2015 between him and his personal assistant Nathan Holmes. Depp also confirmed that “Munson” was his nickname for Manson aka Brian Warner. Depp is reputed to be long-time friends with the shock rocker. According to LinkedIn, Marilyn Manson’s personal assistant since 2010 is Ryan Brown.
