Following an op-ed by Amber Heard in 2018, Penélope Cruz was one of the first Hollywood figures to come to Johnny Depp’s defense. “One of the most generous people” that Cruz had ever met, according to her, was “always kind to everyone around him.” After new accusations were filed against Depp in court, the hashtag #AmberHeardIsAPsychopath began trending on social media platforms, fueled by Cruz’s comments.
The defamation lawsuit between Heard, 36, and Depp, 58, has been put on hold for a week after four weeks of testimony. The ‘Aquaman’ actor testified that her ex-husband began threatening her life after the pair married. She claimed he sexually assaulted her with a bottle of Maker’s Mark while they were in Australia during the filming of the upcoming fifth ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film.
In contrast, Depp has stated that he never assaulted Heard and that she was, in fact, the violent partner. He charged her with throwing a bottle of vodka at him and chopping off his finger as a result of the altercation. Why Is #AmberHeardIsAPsycopath Trending?
