The Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial saw someone important to both stars testify on the stand.
Christian Carino, the actor's former agent (whom Lady Gaga fans know well), was asked about the consequences of Amber Heard's accusations on the
Pirates of the Caribbean
star's career .
And according to him, if the interpreter of Jack Sparrow was excluded from the franchise by Disney, it is only because of the reputation that sticks to his skin since his ex-wife accused him of domestic violence .
“In my opinion, it was related to the Amber accusations,” he claimed, according to
Deadline
, acknowledging that he had only spoken about the situation with Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the franchise, but not with studio executives.
"But that's my understanding of it, based on discussions I've had with colleagues and film professionals," he added.
And to conclude: “It is something that everyone has understood in the industry”.
Late all his life
Amber Heard's lawyers interviewed Christian Carino about the actor's setbacks, including his repeated delays, on the set of the franchise's latest installment,
Salazar's Revenge
.
The agent, who was also representing the actress at the time, denied that it had anything to do with her ousting.
“He was behind on everything his whole life.
Everyone has learned how to produce a film, how to manage it,” he replied.
The question of the impact of Amber Heard's accusations on Johnny Depp's career is central to the trial.
The camp of the star of
Aquaman
affirms for its part that the actor was already deemed undesirable before the publication of the editorial in which his ex-wife claimed to be the victim of domestic violence.
