According to Variety, in his video deposition, Carino (who is also the ex-boyfriend of Lady Gaga) shared his belief that Heard’s accusations of spousal abuse led Disney to ditch Depp from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.
As Carino explained, Depp’s involvement in multiple lawsuits — suing his former business manager, his former lawyer and Heard — had tarnished the mystique he’d spent decades building.

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Actor Johnny Depp returned to the stand Wednesday for testimony in his libel lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, a day after he denied her allegations of domestic abuse.Depp took the stand in Fairfax County Circuit Court after nearly three hours of testimony on Tuesday.Most of his Day 1 testimony focused on his descriptions of a difficult childhood, his rise to fame as an actor after an aborted music career and his early relationship with Heard after meeting her on the 2011 film “The Rum Diary.”He has yet to address in any detail the turbulent years of their brief marriage, and her accusations that he physically and sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions.Depp sued Heard after she wrote a 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post in which she referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”She never mentioned Depp by name, but Depp and his lawyers said it was a clear reference to accusations Heard made in 2016 when the couple divorced and she sought a restraining order against him.Depp said the accusations and the article contributed to an unfairly ruined reputation that made him a Hollywood pariah and cost him his role in the lucrative “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise.Heard's lawyers say the article is accurate and does not defame him.
