Depp's Daughter Laughs in the Face of Harmful Infection

Johnny Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose, looks well as she takes a stroll along the Thames with dad.

Lily was originally thought to have had blood poisoning, but was later diagnosed as having an E. coli infection, which affected her kidneys. Johnny kept vigil at her bedside in a London hospital until the tot bounced back.

Depp is in England filming Tim Burton's version of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd," which had halted production during Lily's illness.

17. My dear, lexie,

E.Coli poisoning can sometimes be hard to diagnose unless you are specifically looking for it. In it's early stages it appears to be nothing more than the flu with typical flu-like symptoms. It wasn't until she got really sick that they realized it must be something else, so please keep your fingers in line.

18. Depp is the hottest man alive. A caring father too! Vanessa is one lucky woman, they look great together.

20. Now the photo has been changed to show their daughter, rather than their son, but E. Coli is still not a virus.

22. It is a picture of Lily-Rose. I don't know what you guys see but I see a little girl with long hair. Johnny is behind her. For the medias, there has been pictures published last week showing the family going out for a walk and now there is that one showing them going on a boat. Would it be too difficult to let those people alone and stop following them around? After what they have been going through, I think they need their privacy. Paparazzis should go find another target now.

23. Mr. Depp and beautiful partner,
I am so happy for both of you that Lily-Rose is ok, i know the scare very well, i have 2 special needs angels who have been in and out of hospitals many times, and there were those times when the doctors didnt think they would make it. My prayers were with you. What a wonderful happy ending for all of you. Take care, and have much love of your work Mr Depp.
Warm Regards,
Cathi

24. Comments about Johnny and Vanessa's parenting abilities are TOTALLY off-base. E. Coli bacterial infection has a rapid and severe onset. There was little delay in getting Lily-Rose to the hospital. They missed nothing, and did nothing wrong. The way the article is written "first thought to be a blood infection" was referring to a rumor run rampant that had NOTHING to do with the truth. She never had a blood infection. The E. Coli caused sudden and severe dehydration that caused her kidneys to stop functioning.

These two are doting, involved and very loving parents. They take turns with their career events so that the children are not alone with others. The fact that Johnny is in London filming Sweeney Todd and the whole family has moved there shows just how dedicated to family he is. A sweeter, more attentive father never has walked the earth.

If you're going to slam someone, lexie, you should get your research done first.

26. Lexie- piss off. You have no idea what you're talking about, and you obviuosly have some kind of wierd vendetta against Johnny and Vanessa. Either that, or you're nothing but a troll.

27. Is TMZ a troll magnet or what? All the family did was take a walk and he's accused of exploiting his child??? How is that exploiting his child? He's never even spoken about her illness, this has all been tabloid reporting and paparazzi pictures. If anything his kid's privacy has been totally invaded. He couldn't have been more low key about it, and yet people still rant. sheesh. People will say the most horrible things from the safety of internet anonymity, its like road rage or something and its getting worse and worse. This is why yahoo.news quit allowing comments on news articles.
Here's an article about the (Lexie/Sharp Eye) problem:

Funny, are you his press agent. People have opinions and are expressing them. Yes he's a publicity whore. Usually they scream about how much they hate ,that their privacy is being infringe upon, but lo and behold, right before their movie comes out, they're out and about being snapped left and right.

Just because I'm not cooing over him and I'm pointing out ,his less than savory appearance doesn't make me a troll. Live with it. TMZ wants to know what people really feel. Hey I'm real and that's how I feel!!

29. You are a real troll Sharp Eye, making outrageous comments in an attempt o provoke crap, and I'm sure his real press agents have better things to do than respond to people like you. He's walking down the street, he's not at a trendy restaurant, he's not trying to be photographed. Newsweek said he's the second biggest movie star right now. I'm sure if one of Will's Smith's kids (he's the biggest movie star per Newsweek) were in the hospital with a serious illness the tabloids would be all over that too. Tabloids seem to try to turn everything into a soap opera anyway, so if something really bad comes along they are all over it. I'm sure they think its more newsworthy when the star is about to come out with a movie, but that's not his fault. Read some of the comments from real people whose kids have had e. coli, if that's what she had, it can apparently be devastating. (And he doesn't have to tell us, but everything now says that's what it was) Look it up on Wikipedia, when little kids get it they can get so sick, they can have terrible complications, they can die. It's horrible that people troll about the serious illness of a young child. Its' just inhumane. Even if we're anonymous on a stupid gossip site, we are still people, we can still behave with some compassion.

30. Sharp Eye, can you actually hear yourself? He's taking a walk with his family, and some arsehole photog, no doubt hiding in a bush, is taking pictures. Would you prefer it if he raised his children like hermits, just so that he can't be accused of being a publicity whore?

Johnny Depp DOES NOT need to exploit his kids to promote one of his films, anyway.
