Paul Bettany has publicly clarified his relationship with Johnny Depp, stating that they were not close friends and that he had not spoken to the actor in years prior to the 2020 libel case involving Depp and Amber Heard. The clarification comes after text messages exchanged between Bettany and Depp in 2013 were read during the trial, where Depp sued The Sun for libel over a column referring to him as a 'wife beater'. The messages, which included joking about 'drowning' Amber Heard to test if she was a witch, were shared in court and have since been widely discussed. Bettany told The Times that during the trial, he felt misrepresented as a close friend of Depp, despite not having spoken to him for years. He explained that he remained silent at the time because he believed the situation was 'probably a nothing burger' and that others around him shared this view. The texts, sent in 2013, featured Bettany suggesting a 'drowning test' for Heard, with Depp replying with a crude joke about 'fucking her burnt corpse'. Bettany also reflected on the experience in a 2022 interview with the Independent, describing it as 'a really difficult subject' and noting the discomfort of having personal communications scrutinized by lawyers for a decade. The libel case ultimately resulted in Depp losing the case, with the judge ruling that the term 'wife beater' was 'substantially true' regarding domestic abuse allegations made by Heard. Bettany's comments aim to distance himself from the controversy, which has been amplified by social media posts and public reactions, including criticism from Depp's supporters who accused him of 'turning his back on a close friend'.

The National Post reports on the text messages exchanged between Air Canada employees Parmpal Sidhu and Simran Preet Panesar, who are accused of involvement in the $22 million gold heist at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The messages, obtained from Sidhu's seized phone, show pre-heist coordination and post-heist tension between the two men. Sidhu, a 56-year-old former Air Canada cargo warehouse employee, is on trial in Brampton, Ontario, for theft and conspiracy, while Panesar, his former supervisor, is a fugitive wanted in India. The messages include Panesar's 'Gooooood morning it is' text to Sidhu on the morning of the heist, followed by Sidhu's 'soo tired.. no sleep' reply. Panesar later texted 'We looking good anyways for today,' which prosecutors consider potentially relevant to the investigation. The messages also reveal their personal relationship, including references to gym sessions, haircuts, coffee, and rides to work. After the heist, the relationship deteriorated, with Sidhu blocking Panesar on Instagram and sending messages like 'Last chance' and 'Bullshit.' The investigation revealed Sidhu's phone contained messages from various platforms including encrypted apps and social media. Police used Cellebrite software to extract data from Sidhu's phone, producing a two-inch thick report. The heist involved the theft of gold and cash worth over $22 million from a Brink's security transit crate. The case has been ongoing since April 2024, with Sidhu pleading not guilty. The trial continues as investigators seek to establish the full extent of the insider conspiracy.
