In his quest for redemption against ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp appeared to have discovered a new supporter. Reports indicated that the actress from ‘Aquaman’ had gained an unexpected ally in her personal stylist, Samantha McMillen. McMillen stated that Heard had informed her about having two black eyes before appearing on a talk show. However, the fashionista contradicted this by asserting that she had seen Heard on the same day, and her face showed no signs of injury.

Based on the legal documents obtained by Hollywood Life, McMillen provided an elaborate account of her professional association with the actress.

Despite this, according to McMillen’s recollection, she did not observe any apparent injuries on the actress.
