Julia Fox Claims Amber Heard 'Never Had The Power' To Abuse Johnny Depp
By Kristin Myers on May 18, 2022 at 11:30 AM EDT
It seems Amber Heard has another supporter in her corner.
Heard is currently being sued by ex-husband Johnny Depp for $50 million dollars. He claims that her 2018 domestic abuse op-ed in the Washington Post cost him several movie roles, including his reported $22.5 million dollar paycheck for the sixth Pirates film.
Heard is countersuing for $100 million dollars and has also claimed to losing out on roles, most notably losing scenes in the sequel to DC's Aquaman.
Although many celebrities have sided with Depp, it seems that model Julia Fox is siding with Heard.

“Wrong. She never had the power in the relationship to be abusive to him,” Fox wrote in the comment.
“Did she hit him? Yes. Was it abuse? No,” she continued. “You need to have power to be able to abuse it. She was 25. He clearly was always way more powerful including physically and financially.”
However, not everyone agreed with her. Singer Aubrey O’Day slammed Fox’s “trash take.”
trash take from Julia Fox. plenty of broke, short, skinny, non-famous people have abused their partner. Abuse is simply cruel and violent treatment of a person.. power not being a necessary factor. less powerful ppl abuse their more powerful partner out of jealousy all the time. https://t.co/89nZ6fWb8j

She wasn't the only one who slammed Fox's take, with fans weighing in from all sides of the debate and taking sides between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

"Wrong. Johnny admits to head butting Amber in this clip," another said, attaching an audio clip taken from the trial. In the clip, Depp did admit to "head butting" Head during their December 15 altercation but claimed that he was only trying to prevent Heard from attacking him.

I also agree.... I definitely think they are both to blame here, and neither are saints, but he has much more physical strength, not to mention immense fame and fortune. The whole Saint Johnny thing is just so ridiculous! I am not an AH fan, just not buying all of this.

As a child of witnessing & receiving female violence my mothers power was that my father would not hit a woman. It was a free pass regardless of wealth, age or physicality. Julia fox words are not just abhorrent but down right stupid, regardless of what she thinks of Depp&heard
