Ellen Barkin to testify at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial

msn.com:

Ellen Barkin will testify at the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The defamation case is set to resume in Virginia on Monday (16.

05. 22) and the 'Animal Kingdom' star is scheduled to take the stand as part of Heard's defence. Ellen was reportedly dating Depp during the making of 1998 film 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and she is expected to supply a testimony similar to the one she offered in the actor's failed defamation case against The Sun newspaper in Britain, when she reportedly claimed that the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star "threw a wine bottle in her direction during a heated moment in a hotel room".

Heard's sister Whitney Henriquez is also scheduled to testify next week. The 'Aquaman' actress will finish her testimony when the trial resumes while Depp is also expected to return to the stand as a witness for the defence, after previously testifying on his own behalf for days about his turbulent relationship with his former wife.

Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over a 2018 Washington Post newspaper op-ed where she chronicled her experiences as a domestic violence survivor.
