Johnny Depp’s sister ‘encouraged’ him to hit Amber Heard over text: ‘I was joking.’

Whitney Heard, Amber Heard’s sister, revealed that she asked Johnny Depp to strike her over text messages.

Whitney admitted in court that she had a fun relationship with her ex-brother-in-law and once asked Depp to hit Amber during her sister’s marriage.

“You testified that you had suspicions that Mr Depp was allegedly hitting your sister sometime in 2013,” Depp’s lawyer asked.

“Suspicions,” Whitney replied.

“However, in June 2013, you were actually joking with Mr Depp about hitting your sister, right?” continued legal counsel

“Unfortunately, over test messages,” the sister admitted.

“Were you encouraging him to hit her?” Depp’s lawyer was cross-examined.

“I wasn’t literally encouraging him to hit her, but we were making light of the situation. Unfortunately, yes “Whitney admitted.

She went on: “I didn’t fully comprehend who or what I was. Knowing what I know now, I would never have said that.”

In reference to one of the fights in which Whitney claimed Depp hit her in the back.

“‘Don’t hit my fucking sister!’ Amber yells. She smacks him and manages to land one.” She went on to say that Depp grabbed Heard “by the hair with one hand and was repeatedly whacking her in the face with the other.”
