Depp defends his ex

London - Actor Johnny Depp says he was appalled by the public reaction in Britain to the publication of pictures of his ex-girlfriend Kate Moss allegedly snorting cocaine.
"The first thing that went through my mind was I was concerned for her, hoping that she was OK and that she and her baby were OK," said Depp, 42, who dated the supermodel for four years until 1998.
"No 2 was just being appalled and shocked at the kind of vicious attacks," Depp said in an interview on Friday with GMTV.
"She's super sharp, really smart and (has) got a great heart. She's a good mum, and she just happens to be human, and the press wouldn't allow that, and that's unforgivable."
Moss, 31, recently left a US rehab clinic and was reunited with her three-year-old daughter, Lila Grace.
Moss lost several modelling contracts after the photographs were published, but her career appears to be back on track.
She appears on the cover of this month's Vanity Fair magazine and recently shot a new campaign for designer Roberto Cavalli.
