This is not the first time Birkin has claimed that Depp could be violent. She had previously described her relationship with Depp as “there is always an air of violence around him.”

This is not the first time Birkin has testified to Depp. She did so after publishing an article calling Depp a “wife beater” during the Liber incident against the Pirates of the Caribbean Star’s 2020 Sun publisher Newsgroup newspaper. Depp lost her proceedings after the judge in the case proved that what Sun had posted in the article was “substantially true.”

In its defamation case against the Sun, Depp was reportedly asked in court why Birkin testified to him. Depp claimed that Birkin had a grudge against him because Birkin gave her no more than the “sexual element” of her relationship.

“She wanted a proper relationship with me, but I didn’t,” Depp testified at the time. “I didn’t feel she was like me, and I think she was very, very angry from that moment.”

Birkin’s testimony follows a parade of witnesses who testified on behalf of Hard, including actress sister Whitney Henriquez, who claimed she was the victim of Depp’s violent attack.

Depp has sued Hard for more than $ 50 million in response to an editorial in the Washington Post in December 2018 about being a victim of domestic violence.
