On Thursday, May 12, comedian Chris Rock commented on the ongoing defamation lawsuit trial involving actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Additionally, Rock mocked Heard's claims of having suffered abuse at the hands of ex-husband Depp.
The 57-year-old comedian candidly joked about the relationship between Heard and Depp on the opening night of his Ego Death tour in the United Kingdom. Mildly roasting the trial, Rock pointed out how Heard had allegedly defecated on Depp's side of the bed in April 2016.
Rock further joked about cancel culture while expectedly referencing the Oscars 2022 incident where Will Smith had slapped him. In his comedy show, the Grown Ups star also had a callback to his friend comedian Dave Chappelle's incident of an audience member assaulting him.
What did Chris Rock say about Amber Heard and her abuse claims against Johnny Depp?
During his comedy performance, Chris Rock insinuated how Amber Heard was scrutinized online on social media amid the trial. The comedian joked that Heard's claims should not be believed because of the incident of her allegedly defecating on the bed at Depp's apartment.
Rock said:
"Believe all women, believe all women… except Amber Heard… What the f**k is she on? She s**t in his bed! She's fine but she's not s******g fine. She s**t in his bed. Once you s**t in someone's bed you (are) just guilty of everything."
The South Carolina native further mocked that Heard and Depp were still together following this incident. While addressing the London audience, Rock stated that the former celebrity couple might have had good s*xual relations. Rock said:
"It must be amazing p***y… I've been with some crazy b*****s, but go**ammit."
He later commented on how 'everyone' pretends to be a victim nowadays and how that takes the spotlight away from genuine victims of abuse and other horrors. Adding to the point, Chris Rock said:
"There are real victims in the world, they deserve to be heard, they deserve our love and compassion."
The Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial is currently on hiatus and will resume from May 16 when the 36-year-old Aquaman star will continue her testimony against Depp. The Pirates of the Caribbean star is also expected to be called onto the stands after the remaining witnesses testify in court.

The comedian also commented that one of the easiest ways for someone to get attention is to claim that they are victims or attack Dave Chapelle on stage.
