When it seemed that things could not get worse for Amber Heard in her legal battle with her ex-partner Johnny Depp, her situation ended up twisting.
Just a few days after learning that the actress's legal team has decided to drop the case alleging logistical problems derived from the pandemic, it is now known that another of Heard's supporters has also decided to back down, although for different reasons.
Amanda de Cadenet, best friend of the actress, presenter, photographer, and activist of the Me Too movement -in charge of the fight against crimes within the Hollywood industry-, has decided not to testify against Johnny Depp for the alleged mistreatment of the actress.
Apparently, according to the British publication, the reason why De Cadenet would now have refused to support Heard in the trial is the audio leaked by the same medium a few months ago, in which the actress mocked that no one He was going to believe in the innocence of Johnny Depp and admitted to having become violent with the actor on more than one occasion and having hit him in the jaw, having thrown pots, pans, and vases at him.
This version presented in the audios leaked by the English medium corroborated the version offered by the British actor a year earlier, in May 2019, when he decided to answer the accusations against him and tell how he experienced violence within the couple, in the who felt like a victim: “(Amber) hit me, punched and kicked me. He frequently threw objects at my head and body, such as heavy bottles, soda cans, lighted candles, television remote controls, and paint thinners.”
According to documentation obtained by the Daily Mail about this update on the status of the defense in the defamation lawsuit filed by the Pirates of the Caribbean star, the 48-year-old British television presenter admits to having changed her mind because she is "appalled and shocked to hear what Amber was saying to Johnny."
“I will not testify in the Johnny Depp defamation case. New facts have come to my attention which have changed my perspective on this matter. When I confronted Amber regarding the recording, she told me that it was edited by Johnny's team. She expected her to take responsibility for his behavior, but she didn't. We have not spoken since then and I want to emphasize that I have no further personal knowledge of what happened between Johnny and Amber, and I do not know the truth of their accusations against him," Amanda de Cadenet admitted, according to resignation documents filed with the courts on June 18.
According to the statement obtained by the aforementioned medium from a source close to Amber Heard's now ex-friend, she has emphasized her own past as a survivor of her commitment to the fight for women's rights: " Feeling that she has been used and cheated by Amber, Amanda hopes that Amber will get the help she needs. Amanda believes in the power of redemption and reconciliation and she hopes that both parties can achieve it."
Four years after the couple's separation in 2016 and Amber Heard's first accusations against Johnny Depp for alleged domestic violence, which have triggered a second legal battle between the actor and the tabloid The Sun and the Aquaman actress for defamation for a total of 50 million dollars, the interpreter will have to face the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean again once the case resumes after the pandemic. Now things look worse than ever for Amber Heard.
