However, Heard has maintained that her accusations they are truthfulclaiming during his testimony that Depp beat her and threatened to kill her when she abused drugs and alcohol during their relationship.
In addition to Green, a handful of other stars have spoken out in support of Depp, including Chris Rock, Joe Rogan and Ireland Baldwin.
Heard also received some support from radio legend Howard Stern, actress Julia Fox and Depp’s ex-girlfriend Ellen Barkin, who testified for the defense in court.
Depp is seeking $50 million and Heard has countersued for $100 million.
