Amber Heard’s sister likened the actress’s marriage to Johnny Depp to a “slow motion gunshot” as she accused the star of violent and controlling behaviour.

Whitney Henriquez said Depp was “bright and beautiful and lovely and kind and generous” when he started dating Heard in 2012, but said his drinking and drugs took their toll on the relationship.

Heard’s younger sister said the Aquaman star was eventually left “emaciated” and struggling to sleep, as she endured bouts of domestic violence and cruel verbal abuse.
