Drunk, unreliable, wasteful: Johnny Depp didn’t hear much good about himself on the current day of the trial. Ellen Barkin also contributed.
The trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has been going on for five weeks and new, dirty details are still coming to light. From Johnny Depp’s point of view, the current day of the trial was particularly unpleasant: in their testimonies, the witnesses who were invited were not very positive about the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star.
A testimony from Depp’s ex Ellen Barkin was also played on the 18th day of the trial. It was recorded in 2019 and was used in court in 2020 when Depp sued the British tabloid The Sun. The two were in front of the camera in 1998 during the shooting of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, the film adaptation of the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, and during the time had an affair in which they are said to have seen each other several times a week.
But apparently Barkin does not have fond memories of the time together: “He was drunk most of the time,” Barkin said in her testimony, which was played via video recording in the courtroom in Fairfax, Virginia. The actor drank a lot of red wine and was also often “high” on drugs, says Barkin. “He was always drinking or smoking a joint.” Once he even threw a bottle of red wine through the hotel room. Even after the relationship ended, Depp behaved jealously and controllingly, the “Sea of Love” star describes.

However, Ellen Barkin’s memories were not the only problem for Johnny Depp that trial day. His former boyfriend Bruce Witkin testified that while they were dating he discovered a bruise on Amber Heard’s arm and it looked like she had been grabbed.
Depp’s former agent Tracey Jacobs then described a different side of the actor: he was talented but unreliable. He was “constantly late to appear on practically every film”.
A statement that Depp’s former business partner Joel Mandel largely confirmed. The Hollywood star has also lost control of his expenses: A security employee who has since died received around $ 10,000 for his services – per day! And Depp’s private doctor is said to have collected a fee of $ 100,000 per month.
From Johnny Depp’s point of view, the only ray of hope that day was the testimony of his lawyer Adam Waldman. Heard’s legal team accuses him of launching a “smear campaign” against the actress. Here, at least, nothing unpleasant came up about Depp: Waldman declined to answer questions – citing attorney-client privilege.
