Just when we thought the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial couldn’t get any more shocking, it actually got more shocking. During a break in the courtroom on June 23 in which the judge had temporarily left the room, a fan of Depp’s made quite the raucous after claiming she had given birth to the star’s baby. Really. “Johnny I love you! Our souls are connected!” the woman shouted, according to Law & Crime Network’s Angenette Levy, who also claimed the woman held up her child and yelled, “This baby is yours!” Depp responded to the shouting by turned around and waving, though the woman was removed from the courtroom. Yeesh.
The trial that just keeps on giving has already seen more than its fair share of newsworthy moments, including famous faces sharing their two cents. Depp’s former lover and co-star Ellen Barkin is one of those who has spoken about her own experiences with the actor on the stand (the star appeared via video call), while another of Depp’s former lovers, Kate Moss, is also expected to speak out during the trial, per Daily Mail. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million, claiming defamation over an article, while both have accused the other of abuse multiple times.
