  • Johnny’s Edward Scissorhands and Pirates of the Caribbean co-stars, Winona Ryder and Penélope Cruz, and his ex, Vanessa Paradis, have showed support for him amid the defamation trial
  • His son, Jack, has remained quiet on the issue, but Lily-Rose has spoken out about Heard – while the Aquaman actress said she’s ‘protective’ of her former stepdaughter

It’s more than a month into the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, which began on April 12. It seems that every day has unveiled a shocking new discovery between the now-divorced duo, from the Aquaman actress’ alleged infidelity with billionaire Elon Musk (whom she later dated too), to her seemingly getting caught in a lie for claiming to use a specific make-up product to cover her bruises when, apparently, the collection didn’t exist yet at the time she said she was using it.
It’s truly been a whirlwind since the court case started and the whole world is watching almost as if it’s a movie. Celebrities such as Winona Ryder and Penélope Cruz have shared their opinions too, showing support for their former co-star Depp. But what does the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, think of all the drama? His eldest child with French singer-model Vanessa Paradis has in fact been sticking up for her dad.

Here are five ways the 22-year-old Chanel ambassador has shown what she thinks of Heard. (But what does Heard think of her former stepdaughter?)

1. Lily-Rose Depp didn’t attend Johnny and Amber Heard’s wedding

The Voyagers star was not present at the couple’s 2015 wedding – and there was no sugar coating the reasons why, as Johnny revealed during the court case on April 20. He said, the Heard and Lily-Rose were “not on particularly great terms”, per People, adding that Heard was “always quite fond of MDMA, which is Ecstasy and mushrooms”. He also claimed that the wedding itinerary comprised “dinner, dancing and drugs”. Fair enough to give it a miss, Lily-Rose.

2. She’s been sticking up for her dad since the allegations began

Lily-Rose has showed continued support for her father since the very beginning. In 2016, when Heard filed a restraining order against Johnny, Lily-Rose shared social media posts clarifying that the law enforcements “found zero evidence of any crime at the scene”, per The News International.

The French-American actress also posted a now-deleted throwback photo in May of that year with the caption: “My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same.”

3. Both of Johnny’s kids seem to feel the same
