Amber Heard and her sister Whitney Henriquez were accused by Johnny Depp of staging a domestic violence incident. This happened prior to his ex-wife’s court appearance in May 2016, when she appeared with what appeared to be a bruised face. She also applied for a restraining order against her estranged husband at this time.
Depp provided a comprehensive 22-page statement to the circuit court of Fairfax County, Virginia, outlining these claims. His $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-spouse, which he started the year before, included this submission. The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor vehemently refuted the ‘Aquaman’ actress’ claims that the cell phone he threw at her on May 21, 2016, caused the bruises on her face.
Depp offered surveillance video shot in his penthouse as proof to back up his claims. One scene in the video appeared to show Heard and her sister Whitney mocking the alleged attack, according to reports. The actress allegedly started divorce proceedings the day before this incident happened.
Whitney Henriquez: who is she?
On September 18, 1987, Whitney Henriquez was born in Austin, Texas. She co-starred on-screen with actors Adam Rifkin, Ali Larter, and Hayes MacArthur in the 2007 comedy “Homo Erectus,” according to IMDB, playing the role of Ugna. She has appeared in commercials and short films in addition to playing the youngest sister of Amber Heard in the documentary “Johnny vs. Amber” from 2021.
Whitney Henriquez made the decision to avoid the spotlight despite having a childhood dream of becoming an actress. According to Hollywood Life, she has now established herself in the hospitality sector. In the recently completed Depp v. Heard defamation trial, she stated, “Before the pandemic, I worked in hotels doing various food and beverage management jobs, primarily events as well.”
Heard was accused of assaulting Henriquez shortly after Henriquez claimed she had seen Depp strike her sister. Depp then counter-accused Heard in court. Depp’s legal team provided a brief clip from a television program as evidence in his favor. In this clip, Henriquez and her friends were debating the alleged assault by Heard on her.
