Actress Amber Heard has sounded off regarding ex-husband Johnny Depp as she prepares to meet him in court on Monday for a defamation trial. Depp, 58, is suing his ex-wife Heard, 35, for defamation due to an op-ed from 2018 published in The Washington Post in which Heard claimed to have been physically abused by her husband of two years. Depp has maintained his innocence and been vocal about considering himself a victim of cancel-culture. The allegations against Depp have led to him losing major roles, including his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts series. Depp was replaced by Mads Mikkelsen in the latest installment, The Secrets of Dumbledore.
