Amber Heard’s team to call Johnny Depp to witness stand again

The drama continues at the explosive Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial with Depp possibly returning to the witness stand again on Monday.

The 36-year-old “Aquaman” star’s lawyers will call ex-husband Depp on Monday, on the 23rd day of the former couple’s tumultuous defamation trial, according to sources.

The former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, 58, will likely be the third witness. This is expected to be the concluding week of the trial.

Depp is suing Heard for $50 million linked to her 2018 Washington Post op-ed, in which the actress referred to herself as “a public representing domestic abuse.” She has countersued for $100 million.

Both former spouses previously testified over the course of multiple days.

During Depp’s initial testimony, he admitted to drug usage but denied all of Heard’s allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

Depp and Heard met on the set of 2011′s “The Rum Diary” and started dating in 2012. They tied the knot in February 2015 and were married for 15 months.
