The trial between Johnny Deep and his ex-wife Amber Heard is still ongoing, with the actor and star of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies suing his ex-wife for defamation. Today, Tuesday, April 19th, it’s Depp’s turn to testify against Amber Heard.
In 2018, Heard wrote a review in the Washington Post, where he stated that he had been the victim of abuse, although she never mentioned Deep directly. That article greatly impacted the actor’s career, who started this lawsuit against his ex-wife days ago and is still going on. It is expected to last for weeks between witness statements and the statements of the protagonists of this trial, i.e., Depp and Heard.
In Deep’s case, he is likely to make his first statements this week in this trial, which already had its opening arguments and some witnesses. We can still expect more suspense about this trial and what more facts both actors can bring to this trial.

Jhonny Depp is expected to testify and give his side of the story this Friday against Heard. The famous actor alleges that his ex-wife defamed him and ruined his career to get attention. Depp will speak out against his ex-wife and give his side of the story this Friday.
We still don’t know much about Deep’s statements on the stand. However, in an interview with the actor’s lawyers, they stated that he had never attacked Heard. So we can assume that his statements are along those lines to prove that he never assaulted his ex-wife.
As for Deep’s evidence against Heard, we don’t know much about what evidence he will show in court on Friday. What we know is that it must be compelling, given the type of accusation made. Since it is usually required to prove defamation convincingly, otherwise, they are typically dismissed.
