Music producer Bruce Witkin testified that Johnny Depp has always had a “jealous streak,” including in his relationships with Vanessa Paradis and ex-wife Amber Heard.
that his former best friend Johnny Depp has a “jealous streak” — and was at one time envious of Nicolas Cage. Witkin, the owner of the label Unison Music, said in a recorded deposition that he considered Depp — whom he’s known for more than 40 years — to be his best friend and “brother” until the two had a falling out four years ago over an unrelated legal matter.
“He can definitely have a jealous streak in him,” Witkin said of Depp in the Feb. 17, 2022 deposition, which was played in for the jury in Fairfax County Circuit Court in Virginia. In his younger days, Depp was jealous of fellow actor Nicolas Cage, Witkin claimed. Depp, 58, also allegedly exhibited jealous behavior during his relationship with Vanessa Paradis — the mother of his two children Lily-Rose and Jack — but Witkin said “a lot of it was in his head and not in reality.” Johnny Depp and Bruce Witkin attend the Grammy Gift Lounge during The 58th Grammy Awards at Staples Center on February 13, 2016.Depp was previously married to Witkin’s sister-in-law, Lori Ann Allison. That marriage — the actor’s first — lasted two years and ended in a divorce in 1985.Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard live coverage: Depp’s ex-friend: Johnny did cocaine with Aerosmith guitarist After Depp married Amber Heard in February 2015, he would “work himself up” if she was filming a movie “with some guy,” or if she was doing something where he could not be around to keep an eye on her, Witkin said. Witkin — who was previously in a band with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star — also weighed in on his former friend’s alleged substance abuse problems, saying that he witnessed Depp snort cocaine for the first time in 2014, which surprised him because he said the actor hated the drug as a teen.According to the musician, Depp had tried to kick his drug habit a couple of times, but it didn’t stick. Witkin said he recommended to Depp to try therapy. “He did it a little bit, but then he stopped because, in my experience, it’s deep-rooted issues that he’s dealt with that has nothing to do with Amber,” Witkin said. “That’s my opinion.” In his deposition, taken as part of Depp and Heard’s multimillion dollar defamation trial, Witkin said he had never witnessed the pair physically hurt one another.
