The trial opposing Johnny Depp to Amber Heard continues to make headlines. While recent revelations ofElon Musk came to weaken the defense of the actress, we learn today that the testimony of the bodyguard of Johnny Depp confirms his statements.
chilling testimony
Nothing is going well for Amber Heard. While the star ofAquaman seemed to have won all her lawsuits against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, it would seem that the actor of Pirates of the Caribbean is about to take his revenge against the one who accused him (wrongly or rightly, Justice will decide) of domestic violence. As a reminder, the couple, who met on the set of Express Rumhas been torn for several years now, following Heard’s accusations against Depp.
If Johnny Depp has lost several lawsuits, including the one brought for defamation against the British tabloid The Sunwho openly accused him of being a « woman beater », he recently responded with a new lawsuit, this time against Amber Heard himself, whom he accuses of having ruined his career and his reputation, by defaming him. The trial, which is in its fourth week, has lifted the veil on many elements of this controversial file, including what appear to be lies or untruths on the part of Amber Heard.
We think in particular of this palette of makeup that the actress would have used to hide the bruises resulting from the blows that Johnny Depp allegedly gave her – make-up palette which did not yet exist at the material time according to the words of the brand. Above all, part of the strategy of Johnny Depp’s camp consists in demonstrating that Amber Heard was violent towards him.
While chilling recordings, unveiled at the end of April, seemed to prove Johnny Depp’s version right, the recent testimony of her bodyguard adds another nail to the coffin of the actress’ defense. Not present in court, Travis McGivern answered questions by videoconference. He testifies to having seen Amber Heard hit his employer twice.
Thus, according to McGivern, Amber Heard would have given »a punch to the left side of the faceby Johnny Depp in March 2015. He also testifies to another scene testifying to the violence of the actress: Amber Heard throwing a can of Red Bull at Johnny Depp’s back.
These testimonies further weaken the defense of the actress. In effect, in February 2021, the actress explained the beatings she gave to her ex-husband, referring to self-defense against Depp’s abuse. She then said:
If you were strangled, would you try, or not, to save your life in any way? Ask yourself the question. Would you encourage your daughters or sisters not to retaliate when someone attacked them again?
However, Travis McGivern’s statements tend to show that it was neither isolated violence nor a situation of self-defense, but many cases of proven violence. It remains to be seen what strategy the actress’ lawyers will choose. It is recalled that this highly publicized trial will end next week. While the petition calling for Amber Heard’s dismissal in Aquaman and the Last Kingdom is close to breaking this incredible record, the American actress may have a lot of work to do to heal her public image after the various revelations made during this trial.
