Amber Heard’s former BFF corroborates her violence allegations against Johnny Depp

Raquel “Rocky” Pennington, who was best friends with Amber Heard from 2003 through the actor’s marriage to Johnny Depp, offered corroborating testimony Wednesday morning in court as Heard’s team continued to present its witnesses in the defamation case brought by the former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star.

Pennington, who appeared via a video deposition recorded in January, described injuries she said she saw on Heard’s face and head, and property damage caused by Depp, after the altercation that allegedly occurred at the couple’s penthouse on May 21, 2016.

That incident resulted in police being called to the Eastern Columbia Building in downtown Los Angeles. Pennington and her then-fiance lived there in a penthouse owned by Depp that connected to the one where the Hollywood couple lived.
