        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Johnny Depp&#8217;s famous exes Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis are no longer being <strong>called to defend him</strong> in his explosive court case denying he is a &#8220;wife-beater,&#8221; Depp&#8217;s legal team announced Thursday.</p><p>Actresses Ryder, 48, and Paradis &#8212; the 47-year-old mother of Depp&#8217;s two children &#8212; were both due to give evidence via videolink this week having already given witness statements insisting the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; was never violent to them.</p><p>But the case ran over schedule &#8212; and Depp&#8217;s legal team conceded that Depp&#8217;s ex-wife Amber Heard is only accusing him of beating her, not his previous partners.</p><p>“There is no need to reschedule those witnesses, much as it would have been a pleasure to have them here,&#8221; Depp’s lawyer David Sherborne told London&#8217;s High Court early Thursday.</p><p>The pair have already both submitted witness statements to the case, in which Depp is suing The Sun newspaper over a 2018 article that referred to him as a “wife-beater” — which he vehemently denies.</p><p>Depp and Ryder, who starred together in 1990’s “Edward Scissorhands,” were one of Hollywood’s hottest couples in the early-90s. Ryder called it &#8220;one of the more significant relationships of my life&#8221; <strong>in her statement</strong>.</p><p>Depp even had &#8220;Winona Forever&#8221; tattooed on his arm &#8212; which the trial was told sparked a fight when <strong>Heard mocked him</strong> for changing it to &#8220;Wino Forever&#8221; after he split from Ryder.</p><p>She said she was &#8220;absolutely shocked, confused and upset&#8221; when she learned of Heard&#8217;s claims against Depp because they were &#8220;so wildly different&#8221; than her own.</p><p>&#8220;The idea that he is an incredibly violent person is the farthest thing from the Johnny I knew and loved,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I cannot wrap my head around these accusations.</p><p>“He was never, never violent towards me. He was never, never abusive at all towards me. He has never been violent or abusive towards anybody I have seen.</p><p>&#8220;I truly and honestly only know him as a really good man – an incredibly loving, extremely caring guy who was so very protective of me and the people that he loves, and I felt so very, very safe with him.”</p><p>Depp was with Paradis for 14 years &#8212; raising their children Lily-Rose, 21, and John Christopher, 18 &#8212; before their <strong>split in 2012</strong>, shortly before he and Heard were together and he is first accused of turning violent.</p><p>“I have known Johnny for more than 25 years,&#8221; Paradis <strong>said in her statement</strong>.</p><p>“Through all these years I’ve known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous, and non-violent person and father.”</p><p>She added, “He was never violent or abusive to me.”</p><p>Before the trial started last week, a spokeswoman for Heard, 34, had already insisted that the two women&#8217;s experiences had nothing to do with the claims of domestic abuse.</p><p>&#8220;We are glad they did not have the same experience as Ms. Heard,&#8221; the spokeswoman said of Ryder and Paradis.</p><p>“However, one woman’s experience does not determine the experience of another woman.”</p><p><em>With Post wires</em></p>]]></content:encoded>
