The idea that he is an incredibly violent person is the farthest thing from the Johnny I knew and loved. I cannot wrap my head around these accusations,\u201d Ryder said in a statement <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2020\/jul\/16\/johnny-depp-did-not-retaliate-abuse-amber-heard-court-told\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> by The Guardian in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHe was never, never violent towards me,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was never, never abusive at all towards me. He has never been violent or abusive towards anybody I have seen. I truly and honestly only know him as a really good man \u2013 an incredibly loving, extremely caring guy who was so very protective of me and the people that he loves, and I felt so very, very safe with him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI do not want to call anyone a liar but from my experience of Johnny, it is impossible to believe that such horrific allegations are true. I find it extremely upsetting knowing him as I do,\u201d the \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d actress added.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Vanessa Paradis\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span>French singer Vanessa Paradis, the mother of Depp\u2019s two children and former partner of 14 years, has publicly called Heard\u2019s accusations \u201cfalse facts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThrough all of these years I\u2019ve known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous and non-violent person,\u201d the singer said, as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2020\/jul\/16\/johnny-depp-did-not-retaliate-abuse-amber-heard-court-told\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> by The Guardian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOn movie sets the actors, directors and entire crew adore him because he is so humble and respectful to everyone as well as being one of the best actors we\u2019ve seen,\u201d Paradis said. \u201cI have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing and also caused damage to his career because unfortunately people have gone on believing these false facts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Pen\u00e9lope Cruz<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span>Actress Pen\u00e9lope Cruz, who has starred opposite Depp in numerous films, released a statement praising Depp as a person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI met Johnny when I was 19 years old,\u201d Cruz said, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/meaww.com\/team-johnny-depp-supporters-celebrities\"><span>according<\/span><\/a><span> to Meaww. \u201cHe was in Madrid and Pedro Almodovar introduced him to me. The only sentences I knew how to say in English at that time were, \u2018how are you\u2019 and \u2018I want to work with Johnny Depp\u2019. Many years have passed and I have not only made 3 movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend. I\u2019ve always been impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent, and his peculiar sense of humor. I\u2019ve seen Johnny in so many situations and he is always kind to everyone around. He is one of the most generous people I know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Sia<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span>The singer known as Sia (full name Sia Kate Isobelle Furler) seemed to turn her support toward Depp in 2020 after audio recordings revealed Heard admitting to physically assaulting Depp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cJust showing my public support for Johnny Depp,\u201d the singer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicworld.com\/entertainment-news\/hollywood-news\/sia-tweets-in-support-of-johnny-depp-in-legal-battle-with-ex-wife-amb.html\"><span>tweeted<\/span><\/a><span> on October 16, 2020. \u201cI mean, I\u2019d love him to get clean and stop with the jewellery, but he is clearly the victim after hearing those tapes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The tweet, however, is no longer available on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Joe Rogan<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span>Leading podcast host Joe Rogan has made it clear he\u2019s on the side of Depp over \u201ccrazy lady\u201d Heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In April, Rogan called Heard a \u201ccrazy lady\u201d and categorized her accusations as \u201cnot true,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/27\/joe-rogan-calls-amber-heard-crazy-lady-and-full-of-s-t\/\"><span>according<\/span><\/a><span> to the New York Post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m watching this trial, and, like, it\u2019s a cautionary tale about believing in bulls***, forming a narrative in your head like, \u2018We\u2019re rebels together,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe only good thing is everybody knows now \u2026 there\u2019s something wrong with [Heard],\u201d Rogan said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is a big win for Johnny Depp,\u201d the host said of the defamation trial. \u201cAnd a big loss for \u2018Pirates of the Caribbean!\u2019 \u2026 You got rid of the best f***ing pirate you ever had!

I stand by Johnny because I have always seen and felt a true caring and loving man in him\u2026 an extraordinary and unique artist who has listened to anyone who needed his help.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI not only love Johnny but respect him deeply and I thank him for being the free and careless little boy he is in his art and the mature and loving man he is in the lives of others, always there when we need him,\u201d the Oscar-winning actor continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI love Johnny because he is a good human being, trapped in the lies and manipulations of toxic beings and yet smiling and loving us all in spite of it,\u201d he added. \u201cHow?

Instead, she claimed both parties were equally responsible for the apparent toxicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt takes two to tango, and I think that they had a very vulnerable relationship.
