Johnny Depp leveled allegations against Amber Heard and her sister Whitney Henriquez for orchestrating a staged incident of domestic abuse. This occurred before his ex-wife’s appearance in court, where she presented what seemed to be a bruised face in May 2016. During this time, she also sought a restraining order against her estranged husband.

Depp detailed these claims in a comprehensive 22-page statement submitted to the circuit court of Fairfax County, Virginia. This submission was part of his $50 million defamation lawsuit against his former spouse, which he initiated the previous year. The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star vehemently denied ‘Aquaman’ actress’ assertions that her facial bruises were a consequence of him hurling a cell phone at her on May 21, 2016.

As evidence to support his assertions, Depp provided surveillance footage captured in his penthouse. Among the footage was one scene purportedly displaying Heard and her sister, Whitney, seemingly mocking the alleged attack. This incident allegedly occurred a mere day after the actress had initiated divorce proceedings.

Who is Whitney Henriquez?

Whitney Henriquez was born in Austin, Texas, on September 18, 1987. According to IMDB, she portrayed the character Ugna in the 2007 comedy “Homo Erectus,” sharing the screen with actors like Adam Rifkin, Ali Larter, and Hayes MacArthur. Her acting portfolio extends to commercials, short films, and she notably played the role of Amber Heard’s youngest sister in the 2021 documentary “Johnny vs Amber.”

Despite nurturing a childhood aspiration to become an actress, Whitney Henriquez chose to remain away from the limelight. As reported by Hollywood Life, she has now found her footing in the hospitality industry. During the recently concluded Depp vs Heard defamation trial, she shared, “Before the pandemic, I worked in hotels doing various food and beverage management jobs, primarily events as well.”

Shortly after Henriquez asserted that she had witnessed Depp striking her sister, he appeared in court and made counter-accusations against Heard, alleging that she had assaulted Henriquez. In his defense, Depp’s legal team presented a brief excerpt from a television program. This clip featured Henriquez and her friends discussing the alleged attack on her by Heard.
