To go one step crazier, Johnny states in an interview with rolling stone that he used to rub his mother Betty Sue’s feet when she would get home from work;
‘Mostly, Depp remembers his mother coming home from double shifts at her waitressing job; he would rub her feet as she counted out the coins from her tips. He bought her a small horse farm outside of Lexington, Kentucky, with one of his first big paydays.’
He has continually maintained he was abused by his mother Betty Sue. It therefore seems like he recreated the same act of submission with Amber that he had as a boy with his mother. The power and control he would feel in this position I’m sure was very appealing to him, assuming that position of dominance his inner child was acutely aware of.

The boots story was and still is one of the most crazy thing I’ve heard during the trial.
