Like I said above, Deuters changed his story to say that he never contacted TMZ once it was time to go to court clearly because he wanted to protect himself and Depp. In the three years between the TMZ article and the trial, Deuters never once said he didn’t contact them.* He only changed course during the trial.

Also it seems highly unlikely that TMZ would make up a statement so inconsequential like that. If anything it would dampen the story for them to lie about what his assistant said lol.

Why are you bringing up the ‘texts not being found on his phone’ when Deuters himself admitted they were real? It doesn’t matter that they weren’t found, they’re real, the man admitted it himself.
