"I've Been Through a Lot." Johnny Depp Recalls Amber Heard Trial at Press Conference
Johnny Depp spoke at a press conference dedicated to his directorial work on the film "Modi - Three Days on the Wings of Madness" and recalled how his trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard took place.
Johnny Depp flew to San Sebastian with the cast of the film, which tells the story of several days in the life of the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Depp gave a press conference and compared his life to the life of the film's hero: "Everyone has a story, because I'm sure everyone can say that they've been through a lot here and there. ... Maybe yours hasn't turned into a soap opera. I mean, literally, into a TV series," he said, hinting that the recent court hearings have indeed become something of a fascinating series for many.
"But we all go through what we go through. So to see people on the verge of getting their moment in the spotlight. ... For me, there's something beautiful about those days when I lived in a tiny studio apartment off Hollywood Boulevard in a tough neighborhood. They were tough. They were rough, they were ugly. They were weird, they were all different, but they were beautiful," he said.
Let us recall that the scandalous court battles between the actors ended in 2022. Amber Heard accused Depp of domestic violence, because of these accusations he was practically "canceled" and deprived of roles, but in court the actress could not prove his guilt. She was ordered to pay him $ 1 million. Various details of their life emerged in court: in particular, Depp said that his ex-wife defecated on their bed as a joke.
After the trial, Amber Heard left the United States and moved to Spain, where she lives with her daughter. The actress faced online bullying and lost many contracts. She herself stated that Depp's popularity helped him win the trial, as the jury was well-disposed towards him. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard divorced in 2017. They were married for only a year and a half.
