In an audio recording played in court, Depp could be heard telling Heard: “I become irrational when you’re doing movies. I become jealous and f****** weird and we fight a lot more.” Franco was also referenced in Depp’s libel lawsuit which he lost against The Sun in 2020 when the actor sued the tabloid for describing him as a “wife-beater” in relation to Heard’s allegations of domestic violence. In court in the U.K., Heard testified that Franco had asked about bruising on her face after an alleged fight with Depp.
