Trial Amber Heard claims to have suffered "physical violence and assault" since her first date with Johnny Depp
Whitney Henriquez
, sister of actress
Amber Heard
, has stated that she witnessed
Johnny Depp punch
Heard
repeatedly in the face
during an argument in her then-partner's penthouse apartment in March 2015.
Henríquez
thus corroborated her sister's version before the Fairfax court (Virginia, USA), in which the defamation lawsuit that
Depp
filed against
Heard
is being settled .
According to
Henríquez
's account , the actor had a fight with
Heard
that day , they both shouted at each other and, in addition to beating her ex-partner, she also attacked her.
"Don't hit my fucking sister"
.
This is how Heard
defended
Henríquez
, according to
the latter, who added that the security guard had to separate them while
Depp
called them "damn whores".
Depp
had previously spoken during this litigation about the "ladder incident", as those who have followed the case already know.
In his version, he avoided talking about whether he hit the sisters and claimed that
he was the "real victim"
of an attack that left his face bruised.
Subsequently, Travis McGivern, the security guard, gave testimony that matched
Depp
's account of events .
For her part,
Heard
has already testified in this trial that she hit
Depp
that day to protect her sister, but that he grabbed her by the back of the head and hit her face repeatedly.
This episode was also analyzed in the previous defamation lawsuit that the former couple already had in the United Kingdom during the year 2020.
Henriquez
then
testified to the same thing and the judge ended up ruling that
Depp
, on that occasion as well as many others, assaulted
Heard
.
On April 11, this second legal battle between
Depp
and
Heard
began , for which the actor accuses her of defamation and demands compensation of 50 million dollars due to an article she published in
The Washington Post
in 2018, after of his divorce, in which he claimed to have suffered "domestic abuse".
