Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have now dragged James Franco into their messy courtroom feud, with the previous testifying that the 127 Hours actor was “creepy” and “rapey” in direction of his former spouse. In equity, although, we knew that Franco can be part of this controversy ever since leaked photographs from a few months in the past confirmed him and the Aquaman actress cuddling in Depp’s penthouse elevator in 2016, after Depp had allegedly hit his spouse.
Earlier this week, the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s libel case towards The Solar kicked off in courtroom, with testimony alleging that Depp jokingly held one in every of Heard’s canines out of a window and slapped his then-partner 3 times after she mocked him due to his Winona Ryder tattoo. As you’d anticipate, Depp denied each claims.
Amid the heated battle, Depp introduced up the matter of James Franco on day 2, recalling an occasion when his former flame had referred to as the actor creepy and rapey.
