The Depp v Heard defamation trial continues to produce drama. The bitterly fought legal contest between the estranged couple has now dragged in Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. This stems from the testimony of an Amber Heard witness and Depp’s lawyers’ cross-examination of her. We take a closer look at how Chris Pine and Gal Gadot cross into the Johnny Depp – Amber Heard saga in this article.
How Chris Pine & Gal Gadot Are Important to Johnny Depp Amber Heard Trial
Heard’s team came up with a claim of 50 million dollars in damages due to Depp’s allegations against her, which they claim harmed her career. One of Amber Heard’s witnesses, Kathryn Arnold, a former producer, made the case that Amber Heard’s career was on the rise like that of other Hollywood celebs like Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. She argued that Heard’s career would have followed the same time frame and she should have had a “meteoric” rise after her “star is born” moment. Her involvement in the Aquaman film should have been her “star is born” moment, according to Arnold.

However, during the cross-examination of Arnold, Depp’s lawyers refuted her entire premise, Depp’s lawyer said, “She’s never been the title character in a movie. She wasn’t on TV for years.” “For the jury to accept your damage analysis, they would have to agree with you that Heard was on the precipice of a meteoric rise…” Essentially arguing that Heard and the other named stars were not comparable.
