Summary
Thursday's list of witnesses in the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp defamation battle was a hit parade of Depp's exes: an ex-girlfriend, an ex-friend, an ex-manager and an ex-Disney rep.
Actress Ellen Barkin testifies about her sexual relationship with Depp in the mid-1990s. She said that the Depp was “jealous” and “controlling” and had once thrown a wine bottle across a Las Vegas hotel room while fighting with a group of people.
Disney executive Tina Newman testified that she had never heard anyone inside Disney say that Heard’s Washington Post op-ed was the reason behind Depp’s loss of his role as Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. It's Ellen Barkin’s testimony that could be key.
