In the whirlwind of publicity surrounding Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial, it seems like everyone has an opinion. But none has been more surprising than Johnny Depp’s first ex-wife, Lori Allison, who has chosen to side with her former husband. Not only does she back Johnny, but she also harbors some seriously strong and negative feelings about Amber Heard.
It all started when Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard for defamation after she claimed he physically abused her. The Sun had already jumped into the fray, printing an issue that branded Depp as a ‘wife beater.’ This label severely damaged his acting career, even causing Disney to give him the cold shoulder, although he managed to keep his musical career afloat.
As the trial unfolded, it seemed that Amber Heard’s credibility was slipping very fast. Many believed she had fabricated evidence of abuse, causing public opinion to sway heavily in Depp’s favor. Amidst the chaos, Johnny Depp’s ex-wife, Lori Allison, entered the scene, recently commenting on the situation and revealing that she’s firmly on Team Depp.
Her quote, found below, further explains her feelings on the matter:
“I’m no angel, I’ve done my share of shitty things to people, but what she did was absolutely horrific. And if there were things that I could do to her that were legal, I would do them. I would. I probably broke down several times because I felt really bad for him. You know, he’s very private, which is why I don’t do interviews.
He’s very private. And I think for him to come out so wholeheartedly was what he really needed to do. And I thought it was either going to be an epic train wreck or it was going to go really well. I love him to pieces, and I get all goofy eyed when I think about him and his future, our past. I want nothing but the best for him, and I hope he feels the same about me.”
Although Johnny Depp and Lori Allison’s marriage was a short-lived roller coaster, lasting only from 1983 to 1985, it seems that they managed to part ways on reasonable terms. As this trial continues to unravel, it’s clear that the support of a former spouse can be a powerful thing. And who knows, maybe Johnny Depp will find solace in knowing that his ex-wife has his back in this tumultuous time.
