The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard began on April 12 and lasted over a few months. Every day seemed to bring a shocking new revelation about the now-divorced couple, from the Aquaman actress' alleged infidelity with billionaire Elon Musk (whom she later dated) to her seemingly getting caught in a lie for claiming to use a specific make-up product to cover her bruises when, apparently, the collection didn't yet exist at the time she said she was using it.
Since the court case began, it has truly been a whirlwind, and the entire world has been watching as if it were a movie. Celebrities such as Winona Ryder and Penélope Cruz have also expressed their support for their former co-star Depp. But what does Johnny Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, think of all the drama? His eldest child, with French singer-model Vanessa Paradis, has defended her father.
Johnny revealed during the court case on April 20 that the Voyagers star was not present at the couple's 2015 wedding for various reasons.
According to People, Heard and Lily-Rose were not on particularly good terms, and Heard was always quite fond of MDMA, which is Ecstasy and mushrooms. He also stated that the wedding itinerary included dinner, dancing, and drugs. Lily-Rose, it's OK to pass on it.
Lily-Rose has been a staunch supporter of her father since the beginning. When Heard filed a restraining order against Johnny in 2016, Lily-Rose shared social media posts clarifying that police "found zero evidence of any crime at the scene," according to The News International.
In May of that year, the French-American actress also shared a now-deleted throwback photo with the caption stating that her dad is the sweetest, most loving person she knows; he's been nothing but a wonderful father to her little brother and herself. Everyone who knows him would say the same.
Lily-Rose is not the only one who dislikes her father's ex-wife. Johnny's second child with Paradis, 20-year-old Jack Depp, appears to share these sentiments. Johnny testified in court that his children have a non-existent relationship with Heard. “They are far smarter than he is. They wouldn't be near her," Johnny has been widely quoted saying.
Despite not explicitly addressing the case on social media recently, the ‘The King’ actress did pay tribute to her beautiful mother on Mother's Day, according to Hello. Johnny and Paradis were together from 1998 to 2012, following his divorce from supermodel Kate Moss, and she is the mother of his only two children.
After their divorce, they remained close, and Paradis quickly addressed Heard's allegations against Johnny, saying that she is aware of the accusations that Amber Heard has publicly accused Johnny of for more than four years. This is not the true Johnny she knew, and she can say from personal experience over many years that he was never violent or abusive to her. She noted that Heard's domestic violence allegations were "outrageous" and "really distressing" for both Johnny's career and the entire family.
Lily-Rose provided sound advice to Entertainment Tonight, saying it's impossible always to be perfect. Nobody is flawless. Period. She just thinks that's just the way it is, she explained. But she thinks a big part of keeping a good head on your shoulders is self-awareness and never feeling like you're too serious to question your actions again.
It was her first interview since her father's libel case against The Sun, which infamously labeled him a "wife beater" in 2018.
When asked if she would work with her father again in a film (they co-starred in Yoga Hosers when Johnny first got her into acting), she replied, "Never say never," and that she enjoys working with talented actors.
Despite Lily-Rose's acknowledged emotional distance from The Rum Diary starlet, Heard does not appear to share her sentiments. According to OK Magazine, even though they didn’t know each other well, she said that she felt protective of Johnny’s daughter. The former stepmother accused Johnny of introducing his daughter to marijuana as a young adolescent, which Johnny has repeatedly denied.
Heard previously told Marie Claire in 2015 that her friendship with Johnny's children was an honor and the greatest, most unexpected gift she had ever received. She says she discovered new flavors that she had no idea existed. New colors she had no idea existed have been introduced into her life. She was so happy.
The Aquaman star recalled her 2013 trip to Depp’s private island in the Bahamas with the two children alongside the Pirates of the Caribbean star. “I accompanied Depp and his children on a trip to his private island in the Bahamas in 2013, where he had a yacht”, according to Heard's testimony. The family was supposed to take one last trip on the ship before Depp sold it to J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series.
Heard claimed that Depp assaulted her for embarrassing him in front of his children and threatened to kill her during the trip. Heard also discussed Depp's rage toward his daughter Lily-Rose Depp, which caused the young actress to cry at the time. She claimed she consoled Lily-Rose Depp following the incident.
Amber Heard implied that Depp was under the influence of alcohol at the time. According to Heard, after a disagreement with Lily-Rose Depp about the drinking, Depp yelled angrily at his daughter. Heard continued, saying that Lily-Rose was inconsolable. It became like a panic attack, with rapid breathing and many questions. I was holding her and comforting her when I noticed he had shifted his attention to me and appeared very angry.
Johnny Depp allegedly yelled at Heard after he asked his daughter to leave. According to Heard, Depp accused her of disclosing his alcoholic binge to his daughter. In addition, Depp allegedly implied that she called him drunk in front of his children.
Amber Heard claimed that Depp shoved her against the boat's cabin wall by her neck and threatened to "f***ing kill" her. Following the heated argument, Heard drove Lily-Rose Depp to the island, from which they flew away in a helicopter. The 36-year-old testified to the jury, saying she had Lily-Rose under her arm and she was crying as we took off. Even though she had just left, she felt terrible about it.
Heard testified during the trial that she looked after Depp's daughter during their 2013 trip. The statement elicited a visible chuckle from Depp. Last month, he implied that his children had cut Heard out of their lives because they were not on good terms. Lily-Rose was not present at the wedding. She and Ms. Heard did not get along for a variety of reasons.
Given her public stance on Heard's allegations, it's safe to assume the 22-year-old actress is averse to associating with her father's ex-wife.
Irrespective of the decision regarding the libel suit, it honestly seems as though Heard has always been opposed by practically everyone surrounding her, even her now ex-husband's children.
