Whitney Henriquez, the 34-year-old sister of Hollywood actress Amber Heard has claimed that her sister’s ex-husband Johnny Depp controlled, and abused her during their relationship.
While testifying on Wednesday during resumed hearing, Whitney said that her then-brother-in-law Johnny Depp struck her sister in the back in March 2015.
She said that she witnessed her sister becoming controlled and abused by ex-husband Depp during their relationship.

Henriquez, who lived in the couple’s residences at times, admitted she and Depp “got along really well at first” and recalled doing drugs with the movie star on occasions.
“Frankly, we all fell in love with him. At first,” she told the courtroom.
Henriquez testified that Depp threw a Red Bull can that hit his nurse Debbie Lloyd in the back. Then, “I’m at the top of the stairs with my back to the stairs, and that’s when Johnny runs up the stairs. I’m facing Amber, he comes up behind me, strikes me in the back. I hear Amber shout, ‘Don’t hit my f—ing sister!’ She smacks him, lands one. At that point, that’s when [Depp’s security guard] Travis [McGivern] runs up the stairs, after Amber landed one.”
“But by that time,” she continued, “Johnny had already grabbed Amber by the hair with one hand and was whacking her repeatedly in the face with the other as I was standing there. Travis then pulls them apart.”
