“Dad never reacted when Mom hit him or screamed at him. Basically, he would let her scream and get it out and be done. The way you dealt with my mom, he always tried to keep the peace.” She added: “She would hit us, threw things, go pick a switch off a tree, that would be what she’d hit us with. One that’s nice and green. If it wasn’t a nice green twig it wouldn’t break.”

Christi said of her brother Johnny Depp, who also suffered their mother’s abuse: “He was a typical little boy, when hurt he would cry. For the most part, he just wanted to get away from it. When he was older even if she hit or threw things. he never went to that place he would get away, he would leave the area, go to his room.”

“As a young child, none of what was happening in our home felt good so as I got older, you know, both Johnny and I actually decided once we left we were never going to repeat anything ever similar to our childhood.” Christi has a close relationship with her brother Johnny Depp. She is Johnny’s personal manager.
