More revelations. Ellen Barkin further detailed her relationship with ex Johnny Depp in a newly unsealed deposition she recorded for the actor’s defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The Drop Dead Gorgeous actress, 68, testified about her romance with the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 59, in a video deposition that was recorded in November 2019. Part of the recording was used earlier this year during Depp’s defamation trial against the Aquaman star, 36, but other portions were revealed as part of the pretrial documents that were recently unsealed.
In her deposition, Barkin said that she and the Golden Globe winner were friends before they began dating in 1994. The Animal Kingdom alum claimed that Depp gave her drugs before their first sexual interaction.
“He came on to me in the living room of my house, pulled me onto his lap and said something like, ‘Oh, come on Ellen,’ or whatever. I protested a little and then — not too much,” she alleged, according to Entertainment Tonight. “And that was that.”
The New York City native went on to clarify that Depp didn’t assault her, adding: “He gave me a Quaalude and asked me if I wanted to f–k.”
Barkin also said that she “wasn’t surprised” when he allegedly threw a wine bottle at her. “There was always an air of violence around him,” she claimed in her testimony, per the Daily Mail. “He’s a yeller, he is verbally abusive. And those things you can see.”
The Finding Neverland actor previously denied his ex-girlfriend’s claim about the wine bottle incident, calling it “untrue” during court proceedings for his libel trial against the U.K. newspaper The Sun. “I do not have an anger management problem,” he said in July 2020.
