On Tuesday (April 19th), Johnny Depp testified in the defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp took the stand in Fairfax, Virginia, and said that Heard’s abuse allegations against him came as a “complete shock.”
“Never did I myself reach the point of striking Ms. Heard in any way, nor have I ever struck any woman in my life,” Depp said under oath.
He continued, “Since I knew there was no truth to it whatsoever, I felt it my responsibility to stand up not only for myself in that instance but stand up for my children, who at the time were 14 and 16.”
