Amber Heard’s sister, 36, Whitney Henriquez, has spoken out for the first time since the verdict in the trial between the actress and her ex-husband Johnny Depp, 58. The jury found that Heard defamed the actor in his editorial to the Washington Post, and determined that she pay US$ 8.35 million (R$ 40 million) to the ex.
“I’m still with you young lady. Yesterday, today and tomorrow I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself, for witnessing both here in Virginia and in the UK and for being the voice for so many who cannot speak about the things that happen at closed,” she began in an Instagram post.
“We knew this was going to be an uphill battle and the cards were stacked against us. But you stood up and spoke up regardless. I’m so honored to testify for you, and I would do it a million times because I know what I saw and because the truth is out there. always on your side,” he continued.
“I’m sorry this wasn’t reflected in the decision made by this jury, but I will never give up on you, and neither will anyone who is with you. Forever by your side,” she added in the caption. Whitney even testified in court during the trial.
She said in a statement that at the beginning of the relationship, the two seemed to be very much in love, but, little by little, the actor was revealing himself to be a controlling man. “It started with light jokes about the clothes she should or shouldn’t wear. It just got more intense and Amber started to have a more conservative style,” he recalled at the time.
Whitney also pointed out that whenever the ex-couple fought, some electronic device Amber Heard ended up being smashed by Depp. Fury attacks would be frequent and, because of them, the actress would have lost “a cell phone, a tablet and a laptop”.
Johnny, according to his former sister-in-law, was jealous and possessive. He was suspicious of “anything” on his sister’s cell phone, and she ended up being involved in a fight between the two at the ex-couple’s penthouse in Los Angeles. According to Whitney, she would have been woken up by her sister in the middle of the night. Amber accused Johnny of cheating and the two exchanged insults such as “used garbage bag” and “old and fat”.
