Chris Rock appears to have picked sides in the ongoing court case against Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, having shared his opinion on the matter during a comedy show in London this week. The 57-year-old touched on the exhilarating trial in his set and reportedly told the studio audience to “believe all women except” Amber, clearly indicating that Chris is not siding with the actress as she prepares to face her ex again in court this upcoming week.
According to Daily Mail, Chris’ comments about Amber stemmed from his talk about the #MeToo movement before he urged people to listen to women when they say they’ve been sexually or physically abused — well, except for the Texas native, that is. “Believe all women, believe all women… except Amber Heard,” he quipped. “What the f**k is she on? She s**t in his bed! She’s fine but she’s not s******g fine.
“She s**t in his bed. Once you s**t in someone’s bed you just guilty of everything. She s**t in his bed. What the f**k is going on there? Wow. And they had a relationship after that. It must be amazing p**** … I’ve been with some crazy b*****s but g**dammit.” Chris’ joke came following Johnny’s revelation in court last month that despite Amber allegedly defecating on the bed, they were able to work through their issues, but it wasn’t long before another physical altercation occurred after that. Amber would go on to file for divorce three days after her ex-husband’s mother had died.
Earlier this week, Snapchat was forced to deny social media claims they had drawn inspiration from Amber’s sobbing in court for their crying face filter. The feature was released the same week she had testified in court and amassed a whopping 1.3 billion in just seven days after being added to the media giant’s list of filters.
But a Snapchat spokesperson confirmed to TMZ that there was no truth behind the speculation on social platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. In fact, the filter had been in the works for around six months before it was implemented on the app, further implying that the timeline wouldn’t have added up.
“New #AmberHeard Snapchat filter just dropped. Am dead,” one person wrote on Twitter after trying out the crying face feature. “LMAOOO they made a Snapchat filter that looks eerily close to Amber Heard facial expressions in court,” another person tweeted. “Asif there’s a #amberheard Snapchat filter,” a third chimed in.
The trial will continue on Monday and is expected to conclude by the week’s end, as Amber Heard faces the hot seat in the upcoming cross-examination with Johnny’s legal team. It’s been reported that the actress’ previous arrest in 2009 for allegedly assaulting ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree at a Seattle airport will also be brought up.
