It turns out Lily-Rose Depp wasn't a big fan of her father Johnny Depp's ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Johnny and Heard are currently embroiled in a defamation trial, following the publishing
of a 2018 Washington Post op-ed piece written by Heard, in which she insinuated that she
is a "public figure representing domestic abuse."
While she didn't explicitly mention Johnny, his legal team maintains that the piece had
a "clear implication" that Depp is a domestic abuser and that the accusations are "part
of an elaborate hoax" to advance Heard's career.
During his testimony, however, Johnny claimed it was he who was on the receiving end of
domestic abuse.
He recalled an incident during which Heard threw liquor bottles at him when he asked
her to sign a postnuptial agreement.
"I don't know what a nervous breakdown feels like, but that's probably the closest that
I've ever been."
He also admitted that some of his family members have a severed relationship with Heard, including
his daughter, Lily-Rose.
Certainly, it looks like there's little truth to previous reports that Lily-Rose Depp was
close with ex-wife Heard.
In his testimony, Johnny revealed that, during their intimate wedding in February 2015, Lily-Rose
was not in attendance.
Apparently, it was because the two didn't have a good relationship at the time.
Depp specifically said that Lily-Rose and Heard were not on "particularly great terms,
for several reasons."
This was the complete opposite of what Heard said in the past about her bond with Johnny's children.
In an interview with Marie Claire in 2015, Heard said being a stepmother to Lily-Rose
and Jack was "an honor."
She continued:
"I feel new flavors that I didn't know existed.
New colors that I didn't know existed have been added to my life.
I'm so happy."
It's hard to say who's telling the truth, but when Heard first accused Johnny of abuse,
Lily-Rose did not hesitate to defend her father.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, she wrote:
"My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know.
He's been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who
knows him would say the same."
But then again, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Lily-Rose Depp was reportedly never on
good terms with Amber Heard, seeing how she has a very close relationship with her mother
and Johnny Depp's first partner, Vanessa Paradis.
Indeed, Lily-Rose has always been her mother's biggest defender.
In an interview with the Independent in 2008, Paradis admitted that, because of her supposed
"Lolita" image in the 1980s, she was often bullied.
But Lily-Rose believes that her mother broke barriers in the entertainment industry.
In an interview with The Face in 2019, Lily-Rose described how people were "truly horrible"
to her mother, explaining:
"Women weren't as celebrated for being comfortable in their sexuality.
My mum is a trailblazer, truly.
She's taught me a lot about self-confidence."
Interestingly enough, Depp made some claims about Paradis back in 2013 that likely raised
some eyebrows, too.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis were supposedly living separate lives before the actor moved
on with Amber Heard.
But according to the Daily Mail, Depp had sent Elton John an email in 2013 calling his
ex-partner a "French extortionist," who tried to supposedly brainwash their children, Lily-Rose and Jack.
He claimed in the email that his children have "fallen head over heels" for his then-girlfriend Heard.
As far as Paradis goes, in an expletive-laden email, Depp suggested that she was likely
to sway their children away from Heard.
While Paradis has never spoken out against Heard, she did release a statement showing
her support to Depp back in 2020.
Calling him a "kind, attentive, generous, and non-violent person and father," Paradis said:
"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."
Clearly, Paradis and Lily-Rose are keeping their distance from the Depp vs. Heard drama,
but they have also made it very clear which side they are on.
