James Franco is willing to testify in the defamation lawsuit brought by Johnny Depp to Amber Heard on the condition that he remains under seal. Understand: nothing that he says should be public and even less in the press. This is what his lawyers asked, threatening, if not, to demand damages.
"Before agreeing to appear, we request that a confidentiality protection order be entered by the Court and contain, among other provisions, the following: the transcript will not be used for any purpose other than litigation ; if part of the transcript is submitted to the Court, the latter must be submitted under seal; no party can discuss the fact that Mr. Franco's testimony is or has been taken with a third party or any other person, including the press; no party may discuss Mr. Franco's testimony and / or the transcript (or show any part of the transcript to) a third party or any other person, including the press; and if a party breaches these confidentiality provisions, that party will be held liable for damages (of an amount which we may discuss), "reads the request that The Blast obtained.
Key witness
Johnny Depp attacks his ex-wife for declaring in a Washington Post article that she is a victim of domestic violence. If she doesn't name him, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor is easily identifiable. What does James Franco do in the acts of violence brought by the actress against her ex-husband?
He was in the building where the couple lived in the aftermath of the attack which Amber Heard claims to have been the victim of at the hands of Johnny Depp and which led to his divorce request. More specifically, as the publication recalls, he was seen going up in the elevator of the building with the actress in the direction of the apartment that day. James Franco is therefore one of the key witnesses to this case.
