The high-profile defamation case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has captured decent headlines as the former couple engaged in a legal battle that delved into their tumultuous past. The case was initiated by Johnny Depp in 2020, following an op-ed written by Amber Heard in 2018, which alluded to domestic abuse without explicitly mentioning him.
As the trial unfolds, shocking revelations emerge, shedding light on the incompatibility of their relationship paired with some serious accusations being made by both sides. One such revelation included Heard’s clarification regarding her relationship with James Franco, and the insights into the volatile nature of her interactions with Johnny Depp during their time together.
Amber Heard Clarifies Her Relationship With James Franco
During the defamation trial, Amber Heard was confronted with security footage depicting her with actor James Franco on the night before she filed for divorce from Johnny Depp. However, the Aquaman star swiftly clarified that her relationship with the Oz the Great and Powerful star was nothing more than a pure friendship, and the Paranoia star revealed that she was very much in need of a friend’s support at that tough time. Heard revealed that Depp harbored a deep dislike for Franco, accusing her of past involvement with him due to their shared work on the film, Pineapple Express.
“He was my friend and he lived next door, quite literally next door, and I had frankly exhausted my support network with my usual friends and was happy to welcome as much friendship at that time as I could possibly get. He hated James Franco. He was accusing me of having a thing with him in the past since we had done Pineapple Express together.”
Amber Heard On Johnny Depp’s Reaction To Her On-Screen Romantic Scenes
The Danish Girl star detailed the Edward Scissorhands star’s extreme jealousy and insecurity when it came to her on-screen romantic scenes with other actors. She disclosed that Depp would become irate if she failed to inform him explicitly about these scenes, accusing her of hiding information from him.
“I had spoken to Johnny — I’m in Boston, he’s in New York. He had already been upset at me and accused me in many arguments about not telling him about scenes I had. If I had a kissing scene, any sort of romantic scene, and I wasn’t explicit about what I was going to do. I was accused of hiding information from him.”
Heard added that the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s reaction was explosive and he reacted as if the Aquaman star had betrayed him, expressing disbelief and severe anger.
“I didn’t want the fight, of course, but I had to kind of eggshell, tip-toe around how to tell him when I had any sort of scene like that, and I did tell him in this occasion. He was upset with me, but he didn’t sound coherent on the phone. He was yelling at me, ‘How could you! How could you tell me this when I’m filming this scene when I am working.’ I told him as soon as it was relevant, but he said, ‘How could you just tell me this.’ It was like I told him I was having an affair. He started to sound less connected to reality as these arguments would happen on the phone.”
The defamation case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp surely brought some shocking revelations to the public, offering further insights into the complex relationship between the two superstars.
