The jury verdict from the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial has cleared the former’s name in the eyes of many, but not everyone is convinced the former Pirates of the Caribbean star did not physically abuse his ex-wife. Kathy Griffin, who had been public with her support for Heard before the trial, has since weighed in on the outcome of the jury trial. Griffin not only made it clear that she believes Heard, she also had some scathing remarks to say about Depp and his physical appearance.
The comments came from Griffin as a guest on Just Ask the Question with Brian Karem. Speaking about the verdict and the support Depp has been receiving, Griffin went on to take several shots at Depp along with his fans. As Griffin puts it:

Kathy Griffin Says She Believes Amber Heard
Kathy Griffin makes it clear that she has no doubts about any of Amber Heard’s stories of domestic abuse suffered by Johnny Depp. For Griffin, she seems to back up the assertion made by Heard in court that Depp was rumored to have assaulted ex-girlfriend Kate Moss in the 1990s and suggests there were similar rumors about Winona Ryder, another ex.
However, Moss testified in the U.S. trial that the rumors weren’t true and has since supported Depp by watching him perform on stage. Ryder had also written a statement for Depp’s previous UK trial describing him as very loving and denying that he had ever been physically abusive with her. Griffin explains this away by suggesting that Moss and Ryder might have only been going along with Depp to avoid facing a potential defamation lawsuit and public scrutiny in the way that has happened with Heard.
There are other celebrities who have offered support to Heard, including Meghan McCain, Amy Schumer, and David Krumholtz, but it’s safe to say that they are in the minority. Heard has appealed the jury’s decision as well so the legal battle isn’t over just yet.
