Johnny Depp has found another supporter in his ongoing legal battle with Amber Heard.
His ex-wife, Vanessa Paradis.
Paradis, 47, filed a declaration in support of Depp’s defamation case against Heard. This follows news that another Depp ex — Winona Ryder — filed a similar declaration last week in the same suit.
“I work as a musician, singer-songwriter, actress, and fashion model,” Paradis stated in her declaration, via The Blast. Paradis goes on to affirm: “I have known Johnny Depp for more than 25 years. We’ve been partners for 14 years and we raised our two children together. Through all these years I’ve known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous, and non-violent person and father.”
Depp, 56, and Paradis were together for 14 years, from 1999 to 2012.
The singer — who tied the knot with Samuel Benchetrit in 2018 — has two kids with Depp: Lily-Rose, 20, and John Christopher, 17.
“On movie sets the actors, directors and entire crews adore him because he is humble and respectful to everyone, as well as being one of the best actors we’ve seen,” the declaration continued.
“I am aware of the allegations which Amber Heard has publicly accused Johnny of for more than 4 years now…This is nothing like the true Johnny I have known, and from my personal experience of many years, I can say he was never violent or abusive to me.” Paradis goes on to state in her declaration, “I have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing, and also caused damage to his career because unfortunately, people have gone on believing these false facts.”
Heard, 33, and Depp were married from 2015 until 2017. After Heard alleged that Depp was violent during their relationship, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor filed a $50 million defamation suit in March 2019.
In her own court filings, Heard claimed that Depp repeatedly hit her, ripped out her hair, choked and nearly suffocated her.
The case is currently ongoing.
Paradis previously defended the actor in 2016 after Heard claimed that Depp attacked her during their marriage.
“Johnny Depp is the father of my two children, he is a sensitive, loving and loved person, and I believe with all my heart that these recent allegations being made are outrageous,” he said at the time. “In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years.”
