As fascinating details continue to emerge in the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, celebrities have continued to speak out in support of Depp.
Depp is suing his ex-wife, Heard, in a $50 million defamation lawsuit over an op-ed she wrote in 2018 describing the “domestic violence” she faced. Heard is suing $100 million. The trial caught the attention of millions with revelations of bed-feces, Depp losing part of a finger, allegations of drug and alcohol abuse, and an angry exchange of opinions between the couple during their marriage.
During the current trial, some have publicly expressed their support for Depp, while other celebrities have been called as witnesses on both sides.
