In Johnny Depp’s Defense: Vanessa Paradis Stands Up for Her Ex-Husband

Johnny Deep got some more moral and legal support in his $50 million defamation lawsuit in Virginia against ex-wife Amber Heard. In 2016, Amber announced that during the years of marriage, she was a victim of domestic violence, as the famous actor beat her. Vanessa Paradis once again stood up for her former longtime partner: she also believes that Amber Heard’s accusations are false.

“I have known Johnny Deep for more than 25 years. We’ve been partners for 14 years and we raised out two children together. Through all these years, I’ve known Johnny to be kind, attentive, generous, and a non-violent person and father.” The actress went on to acknowledge that she’s been aware of Heard’s accusations of physical and emotional abuse for more than four years. In turn, Vanessa admits, that for all the years the couple lived together, Johnny Depp never insulted her and wasn’t cruel to her. “This is nothing like the true Johnny I have known, and from my personal experience of many years, I can say he was never violent or abusive to me. I have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing, and also caused damage to his career because, unfortunately, people have gone on believing these false facts,”she explained. 

Earlier, several other of Depp’s famous friends and ex-partners have publicly come to the defense of the actor, including Penelope Cruz and Winona Ryder.
