SO SAD: Due to the situatoin, Johnny depp can not perform....

5 times Johnny Depp raised concerns about Amber Heard, before the trial: from his ‘frightened’ words to fans in 2016, to his parents’ disapproval, depression battles and emotional interviews

The defamation trial brought against Amber Heard by her ex-husband Johnny Depp has left millions enthralled as shock testimonies and intimate details about their relationship have been revealed to the world. Clear teams have developed too, with social media sleuths going out of their way to try and prove inconsistencies in both Heard and Depp’s testimonies.

The couple met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2009 and got married in 2015. Heard filed for divorce 15 months later. In 2018, after they split, Heard wrote an op-ed on domestic violence published on The Washington Post. Although she did not name Depp, it was widely speculated that the essay was about him and it forms the basis of the defamation trial against her, with Depp claiming her abuse allegations led to him being blacklisted by Hollywood.

While the trial has received much attention, we take a look back at some of the things Depp had previously said about Heard during their tumultuous relationship – and his possible fears for his safety.

Old footage of Depp on the red carpet for the London premiere of Alice Through The Looking Glass has resurfaced and gone viral, as it shows Depp talking about fearing for his life. In the clip from the interview, he’s asked what his message was for his fans.

He responded: “I’m scared to death. I’m frightened. I don’t know what to do. I’m confused and I want to go home.” At the time, the comments did not make headlines as Depp was known to make obscure comments that had little context.

But the footage was taken in May 2016, while Depp and Heard were married from 2015 to 2017. Depp fans have now connected his past comments to his testimony at the trial that Heard was abusive towards him.
