Johnny Depp was the first to take the witness stand and tell his side of the story. Now, Amber Heard took the stand last week and has been stating her testimony. The proceeding is halted this week but will resume on May 16. The actress will take the stand again along with other witnesses. Among the main witnesses are Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez and Ellen Barkin.
Johnny Depp’s ex Ellen Barkin is testifying for Heard
Johnny Depp has dated a number of women in the past. In fact, Amber Heard was not his first wife. Among the list of exes is Ellen Barkin. She is the actress best known for her role in the 2007 film Ocean’s Thirteen. She has also been in Modern Family and won a Primetime Emmy for her acting in Before Women Had Wings in 1998.
The actress met the Pirates of the Caribbean star on the set of Fear and Loathing in 1997. She is 10 years his senior. And the two started dating, which was later labeled as “casual” by Depp. Previously, Ellen Barkin has called the actor violent. She said, “there was always an air of violence around him…there was just this world of violence…He is a yeller. He is verbally abusive.”
She also accused him of throwing a bottle of wine at her but said that he never physically hurt her. But the claims could’ve been false. Though Johnny Depp stated that the reason behind Barkin’s such claims was him not reciprocating her feelings in the relationship. Also, she did not like the way the actor ended things with her.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp defamation trial
The ongoing trial between the Aquaman star and her ex-husband has taken nasty turns. According to Johnny Depp and his team, Amber Heard is a liar and taking advantage of the #MeToo movement. Also, they’ve claimed that Heard was really the one abusive in the relationship. And Amber Heard has also described elaborate events of repeated sexual and physical abuse from the actor.
She claimed that the actor would hit and sexually assault her. But the fans of Depp are trolling her on social media. As of now, there is no real way to tell in whose favor the case is. The day of the final judgment is May 27. And the world is watching to see, who would win this trial.
