The legal problems for the Oscar nominee began for some, after Heard, his ex-wife, will demand physical violence against her, but everything took a turn in late 2019, when Depp's lawyer presented some recordings that prove that she was the one who actually abused him.
After this, several stars who worked with Depp came out to give statements at the trial to support them, one of them was the Spanish Penélope Cruz, who acted together with the Disney feature film as in two other productions.
"Many years have passed and I have not only made 3 films with him, but I also count on him as a great friend. I have always been impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent and his peculiar sense of humor," wrote the European in a letter sent to the judge handling that case.
In addition to Penélope Cruz defending Johnny Depp, 'Stranger Things' star actress Winona Ryder, the actor's former partner and co-worker, also spoke in favor of him.
She Said, "I am aware of the statements of violence made public in recent years by Johnny Depp's ex-wife, Amber Heard. I do not want to call anyone a liar, but based on my experience with Johnny, it is impossible to believe that so many horrible things are true. These sayings bother me extremely, since I know him a lot."
These testimonies could affect the defense of Heard, who has currently been attacked by netizens and have started a campaign to replace it from the sequel to ‘Aquaman’, for the moment this trial continues.
