Ellen Barkin accused Johnny Depp of abuse during their fling in the ’90’s with her testimony on May 19. According to Law and Crime, Barkin claimed the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star threw a wine bottle at her. Barkin also alleged Depp’s use of cocaine and hallucinogenics during their time together and insisted, “He’s drunk all the — most, a lot of the time.” Law and Crime also reported Heard’s lawyer asked about her and Depp’s “romantic” relationship, and the 68-year-old actor immediately corrected them. “Can we change that to sexual? Just sexual?” Barkin asked — sparking a Twitter tsunami.
One trial watcher tweeted: “She hasn’t had any dealings with Depp since the early 90’s and she is up here testifying against him.” Another Twitter user wrote: “Ellen Barkin was kinda sad tbh. She tried wrecking Johnny Depp but just looked like a wreck to me.” Another tweeted: “Are we sure Ellen Barkin didn’t just want to humblebrag about nailing Johnny Depp back in the day?” Ouch.
Barkin previously starred with Depp in 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” per IMDb, and the co-stars became more involved amidst her split from then-husband Gabriel Byrne. She also called Depp “a jealous man [and] controlling, [and would ask] ‘Where are you going? Who are you going with? What did you do last night?”
