Johnny Depp has been in the center of the public’s attention for the past month. The actor, best known for playing Captain Jack Sparrow on the Pirates of the Caribbean series, is suing his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in a $50 million defamation lawsuit.
As the trial continued, more and more people from Hollywood began to speak out for or against Depp and his ongoing trial.
The latest one comes from a representative of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Greg Ellis, who played Lieutenant Theodore Groves in the first film of the Disney series, was very vocal in his opinions about Depp’s trial and Heard’s comments. He publicly supported Depp, who was accused of hitting Heard during their marriage.
The actor posted on his Twitter account: “Johnny Depp has not been charged or tried in court. He is loved in the industry.”
The British actor then moved on to criticize Heard, who was accused of beating Depp.
Ellis claimed: “Amber Heard knew exactly what she was doing when she started her legal maneuvers 6 years ago.” (sic)
He then alleged that Heard’s actions at trial made her worse in Hollywood. Ellis wrote: “She is universally hated in the industry. She is on trial, her fate will be decided by a jury.”
The actor then went on to say that Heard started a whole new movement.

Bruckheimer recently addressed what will happen in the future of the PotC franchise. He revealed that the rumored movie starring Margot Robbie is still going on. But there is another movie coming. He said, “Yes. We’re talking to Margot Robbie. We’re developing two pirate scripts—one with her and one without him.”
When asked about Depp’s future, he said, “Not at this point [but] The future has not yet been decided.”
Meanwhile, Heard has spoken about her uncertain future in Hollywood.
Heard is scheduled to appear in the upcoming sequel to Aquaman – Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. However, in recent weeks, it has been revealed that a portion of it has been further stripped.
She said in court, “I fought so hard to stay in the movie. They didn’t want to include me in the movie,” before confirming that she portrayed a “very shortened version of that role.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is now available on Disney Plus.
