Testimony at Johnny Depp’s
defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard on the 28th of April, 2022 wrapped up
for the day with testimony from longtime Depp’s bodyguard Malcolm Connolly and
driver Starling Jenkins.
Depp’s
driver Starling Jenkins’ Testimony
Amber Heard got sick from
drinking red wine and consuming “magic mushrooms” at Coachella, Depp’s driver
testified.
Starling Jenkins said that the
actress went to the music festival and was “partying it up with her friends”
when she got sick.
Jenkins, Depp’s longtime
driver, and bodyguard, also testified that during one fight between the couple
Heard tossed Depp’s credit cards and mobile phone out the window. Heard’s
lawyer noted that Jenkins was loyal to his longtime employer, and suggested it
was Heard’s pregnant sister, Whitney, who was sick at Coachella despite being
sober.
But questioned again on
re-direct, Jenkins said he knew the difference. “One is the boss’s wife, one is
the boss’s sister-in-law,” he said.
Security
Guard’s Testimony
Johnny Depp’s security guard
testified that Amber Heard was “crazy, crazy” and “fierce” during a massive
fight between the troubled couple.
Malcolm Connolly says Heard
was also courteous with him but described seeing drag-out fights between the
two actors in Los Angeles and in Australia when Depp was filming the fifth
installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.
Connolly conceded he was still
employed by Depp and was loyal to him. Questioned about one particularly
vicious fight between the pair in March 2015 in Australia, Connolly said he
wanted to get Depp out of the house.
He denied remembering that a
drunk Depp tried to urinate in the foyer. “I think I would remember seeing Mr.
Depp’s penis,” he quipped.
The jury is due to return to
the Fairfax, Virginia courtroom Monday.
So with the recent testimonies, what do you think? So is going to win?
