It was only a few weeks back that newlyweds Johnny Depp and Amber Heard made news all over the world during a visit to Australia, when it was found that they had smuggled their two pet dogs into the country, prompting officials to threaten to euthanize their Yorkshire terriers.
As the new Mrs. Depp promotes her recently released film, "Magic Mike XXL," she explained that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard would be avoiding the land Down Under after the treatment they'd received, having entered a very public broil with the country's minister for agriculture, Barnaby Joyce.
According to The Mirror, the 29 year-old recently spoke in an interview about the situation involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's dogs, and she made a thinly veiled comment about Jones, saying that the couple would be avoiding the country as much as possible due to "certain politicians," obviously referring to the minister, who was very vocal about the whole affair.
"I have a feeling we're going to avoid the land Down Under from now on, just as much as we can, thanks to certain politicians there," said the actress, speaking publicly about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard scandal for the first time, E! Online reports. "I don't know, I guess everyone tries to go for their 15 minutes, including some government officials," Heard added.
The situation was thus: the Hollywood couple reached Australia by private jet as Depp was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," and they brought their two pet dogs along without declaring their presence in customs, prompting Jones to give them a deadline to send the dogs back to California or have them euthanized.
The Guardian reports that, when news of the presence of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's dogs Pistol and Boo in Australia became known, Jones said that the two Yorkshire terriers should be "buggered off back to the United States," quipping that they could go back in the same private jet that landed them in the country.
Obviously, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard didn't appreciated the way they and their pets were treated in Australia, though they've also been criticized over the fact that they broke local laws, as the country is very serious about its wildlife, and there's even an episode of "The Simpsons" dedicated to this.
