There may have been more than just water flowing on the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom set.
As reported by Variety, documents written by Amber Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes, include allegations that Jason Momoa arrived on set drunk and dressed like Heard’s ex-husband, Johnny Depp.
“Jason said he wanted me fired,” the notes read. “Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.”
The documents emerged from Heard’s defamation trial against Depp, which took place in April 2022. A source close to Heard confirmed that the notes were taken during a therapy session that occurred on December 27, 2021.
While Momoa’s rep declined to comment to Variety, a spokesperson for DC told the outlet that “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Another source that was on the set while filming told the outlet that “Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set.”
The source also claimed that they saw the two stars joking around together while filming.
“And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp,” they continued. “He has always dressed in that bohemian style.”
Other findings from the investigation include that director James Wan allegedly “raised his voice” at Heard on set and almost fired her from the sequel; a DC spokesperson told Variety, “James is known for treating members of his cast and crew with the utmost respect and for fostering a positive, collaborative environment on set — the Aquaman films were no exception.”
The report also stated that Heard’s former flame Elon Musk allegedly had one of his litigators send a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down” if Heard wasn’t hired for the sequel after she was allegedly nearly let go due to “lack of chemistry” with Momoa.
Decider has reached out to Warner Bros. and Wan’s representative, but did not hear back by time of publication.
Heard reportedly only appears in 10 minutes of the second Aquaman film, per IndieWire.
