Recalling the incident, she stated:"Just a jealous man, controlling."According to Barkin, Depp would question her, asking,"Where are you going? Who are you going with? What did you do last night?"On the other hand, Depp stated that his ex-girlfriend had a vengeance against him and that her accusations were false.While celebs have avoided expressing their views on the controversial trial, several stars have come forward in their small ways, expressing solidarity towards both Heard and Depp, and hoping that the jury will make the right decision.
