Julia Fox Slammed Johnny Depp During His Defamation Case Trial Against Amber Heard
Amber Heard got massive support from her close friend, Julia Fox, during her struggling legal battle with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. Heard was found guilty of defaming her ex-husband, Depp, in June 2022, although she did not mention him by name in her article about domestic violence. Depp was awarded more than $10 million in damages for his defamation claims after winning. In addition, Heard was awarded $2 million in damages after winning one of her three countersuit claims.
Fox commented on Instagram during the trial that Heard “never had the power in the relationship to be abusive to him.”
She continued in the comment,
“Did she hit him? Yes. Was it abuse? No. You need to have the power to be able to abuse it. She was 25. He clearly was always way more powerful, including physically and financially.”
Later in November 2022, Fox appeared on Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low with EmRata podcast, where the Uncut Gems star opened up about her decision to openly support her close friend during the trial.
Fox said,
“I did have to say something because if it could happen to Amber Heard, who is a white, blonde, beautiful, successful actress because people that say she had no career before [Depp] but she did, over 10 movies I think, so it can really happen to — none of us are safe.”
She continued,
“For me, I always just see things like the bigger picture. I never really harp on small details; I look at like what this means for the collective. With that, Roe v. Wade being overturned, and then what was happening in Afghanistan, I felt compelled to say something.”
Fox added,
“I was like, ‘Guys, yeah, you guys are making comments, but you don’t realize that this is going to damage women,’ … all the women in the world are going to suffer from this.”
She caused quite a stir on the Internet with her comments regarding the highly publicized case involving Depp and Heard. And Now, she landed again in another controversy by supporting the notorious fashion designer.
