(CNN) — Kate Moss, who dated Johnny Depp in the 1990s, is expected to be called to testify for the actor’s legal team during his trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, a source told CNN. Close to Depp.
A source confirmed that Moss and Depp remain very close to this day.
Depp sued Heard for $50 million on the grounds that an opinion piece she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018 he defamed him, pointing out that the text, which does not mention his name specifically, falsely portrayed him as an abuser.
Heard countersued Depp for $100 million, saying statements made by the actor’s lawyer calling his abuse claims “hoax” were defamatory.
Amber Heard testified on the stand that she immediately thought of the Moss-related rumors when Heard and her sister Whitney Heard had an alleged altercation with Depp.
“He hit Whitney, and I heard a rumor, a vague rumor, about it,” Heard testified on May 17, referring to Moss.
In a magazine article Rolling Stone 1998, Depp is quoted as saying, in conversations with author Hunter S. Thompson: “I was with Kate, and I think he went straight for the jugular of romance, s**t like I hit her hard enough. Probably I said, ‘Yes, she takes a severe beating.'”
Depp’s team did not comment on the quote from Rolling Stone from 1998.
