Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith welcomed Dakota Mayi Johnson on October 4, 1989, at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, Texas. In Texas, where she was born, her father was filming the 1990 movie The Hot Spot.  Advertising executive Peter Griffith, a former child actor, and actress Tippi Hedren are her maternal grandparents. She is Tracy Griffith’s and Clay A. Griffith’s niece, the actor and set designer, respectively. Spanish actor Antonio Banderas was formerly her stepfather. She has one half-brother, Alexander Bauer, and one half-sister, Stella Banderas, on her mother’s side; three half-brothers, Jesse, Jasper, and Deacon; and one half-sister, Grace Johnson, on her father’s side. Johnson has a total of six half-siblings.  Johnson spent a large portion of her youth traveling to different locations with her acting parents for premieres and film shoots, though she also spent a significant amount of time in Aspen and Woody Creek, Colorado, where she worked at the local market as a teenager during the summers.

Her father had been acquainted with Hunter S. Thompson for many years, and they lived next door to one other in Woody Creek. Hunter S. Thompson would frequently visit their home in the early morning hours, shooting a handgun to signal his arrival. She spent some time going to the Aspen Community School.

Johnson remarked that because she was always unmoored and confused, she was without an anchor. She spent her first year of high school at the exclusive New Roads School in Santa Monica, California, after which she transferred to the Santa Catalina School in Monterey, California. The legal troubles of her former co-star Johnny Depp are not something Dakota Johnson is interested in. A viral video captioned “The EXACT instant Dakota Johnson KNEW Amber Heard was VIOLENT towards Johnny Depp” made its way online throughout the past two months as part of the actor and Amber Heard’s defamation case, which captured the attention of the entire globe.

Depp and Johnson were promoting Black Mass at the 2015 Venice Film Festival when the video, which was not used as evidence, purported to show Depp’s wounded finger. Johnson was worried about being asked to testify because of the publicity. “Why, for the love of God? I exclaimed. I’m involved in this, but why? “she told Vanity Fair. “Take me out of here, even though I have no memory of that at all. Prevent this from escalating. Oh, my God, try to picture how I would feel if I had to testify.” Depp stated during the trial that Heard is suspected of being the aggressor who broke off Depp’s fingertip during their altercation in March 2015 in Australia. Depp asserted that Heard hurled a vodka bottle at him, shattering it in his hand. This was disputed by her.

Johnson will tell you that she was surprised by how many people were focused on the case. I can’t believe people are watching [the trial] like it’s a show, she told the newspaper. “My heart is breaking, it’s like a courtroom drama. The craziness is unreal. Weird as all get out, people. The world wide web is a very dangerous place.” Depp received $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages from the jury after 13 hours of deliberations. Later, Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Penney Azcarate decreased the punitive damages to $350,000, the state’s statutory limitation or the legal maximum, bringing his total damages to less than $10.4 million. Here are some of the posts by her fans on Twitter:

 

The jury decided to give Heard $2 million in compensatory damages in her countersuit. Johnson also covered the phenomenon of cancel culture in her most recent interview. Johnson stated that people can develop and grow over time, despite the fact that she did not specifically address Depp or Heard by name. The phrase “cancel culture” and the idea behind canceling a person if they were an appointment are what bother her most, she admitted. “Mistakes are a part of life for everyone. In order to understand it, one must be living. It is unacceptable to damage or cause harm to other individuals. For those deeds, there are repercussions. However, it is terrifying, sad, and incorrect for the Twitterverse to decide whether someone just stopped existing.” Additionally, she urged the audience to consider the larger population. Twitter accounts for roughly 12% of the global population. Johnson said that he does not have a profile. Some of these individuals, I mean, can’t even spell.
