Grey reveals Depp was "crazy, jealous and paranoid"

Further in her memoir, Jennifer Grey revealed how Depp became crazy and jealous over time during their engagement. She wrote, "Johnny was commuting every week back and forth from Vancouver, but had begun more and more regularly to be getting into trouble: fights in bars, skirmishes with cops". Jennifer further added, "He’d started missing his flights home to LA having overslept or when he did come home, he’d be crazy jealous and paranoid about what I’d been up to while he was gone. I attributed his ill-temper and unhappiness to him feeling miserable and powerless to get off (the TV series) ’21 Jump Street.'"
