When they dated in the 1990s, actress Ellen Barkin testified in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial that he was a jealous, controlling guy who was fueled by drugs and alcohol.
Why did Ellen Barkin testify against Johnny Depp?
Depp is suing ex-wife Amber Heard for $50 million after she claimed to be a victim of domestic violence in a 2018 op-ed.
Depp denies being the abuser, but filed the lawsuit regardless, saying that the abuse was implied and that he lost business as a result.
The trial that followed has resulted in days of slanderous claims from both performers on the stand and witness after witness testifying about their characteristics.
Barkin, who co-starred with Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, said she met him in 1990 and began a sexual connection with him in 1994.
She said in court that Depp was “drunk a lot” and took cocaine, marijuana, and hallucinogenics during that time.
Depp was fighting with his pals and assistant in a hotel room in Las Vegas, according to Barkin, when he tossed a wine bottle across the room.
The bottle did not hit anyone, but Barkin said Depp hurled it at her for no apparent reason.
Depp eventually ended their connection, according to Barkin.
