Another ex from Johnny Depp’s past is speaking out about Amber Heard following the abuse allegations she made against the actor.
Lori Allison, the first wife of the Pirates of the Caribbean star, recently weighed in on Heard’s claims and the highly-publicized defamation trial that followed, revealing that she’s definitely in Depp’s corner.
While appearing on a new episode of the Popcorned Planet podcast, Allison—who was married to Depp from 1983 to 1985—admitted that she watched her ex’s televised trial with Heard last year, calling the Aquaman actress’ claims against the actor “horrific.”
“I’m no angel, I’ve done my share of shitty things to people, but what she did was absolutely horrific,” Allison insisted, adding, “And if there were things that I could do to her that were legal, I would do them. I would.”
Also during the conversation, Allison said that watching the courtroom proceedings caused her heart to go out to her former husband, who she described as “kind” and “generous.”
“I probably broke down several times because I felt really bad for him,” she said. “You know, he’s very private, which is why I don’t do interviews. He’s very private. And I think for him to come out so wholeheartedly was what he really needed to do. And I thought it was either going to be an epic train wreck or it was going to go really well.”
As we now know, the jury sided with Depp at the end of the trial, awarding him $10.35 million in damages at the time. She later settled the suit, agreeing to pay the Edward Scissorhands alum $1 million.
Allison said she “was so relieved I think I cried,” after hearing about the verdict, which was largely considered a victory for Depp, despite Heard winning $2 million in damages for her countersuit against him.
All in all, Allison said she has no bad feelings toward her ex, who she said “has the biggest heart of someone I’ve ever met.”
“I love him to pieces, and I get all goofy eyed when I think about him and his future, our past,” she stated. “I want nothing but the best for him, and I hope he feels the same about me.”
