Amber Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez, told a court Thursday that she begged her not to marry Johnny Depp because of his alleged violence toward Heard. Henriquez was giving evidence on the 13th day of Depp’s libel action against the publisher of The Sun newspaper.

Depp is suing News Group Newspapers and journalist Dan Wootton for an article on The Sun website that described him as a “wife beater.” Depp denies that he was ever violent toward Heard, to whom he was married from 2015 to 2017.

Henriquez confronted her about it. “I said: ‘What the f— is happening? You have to talk to me.
