Actress Ellen Barkin will be called to testify on Amber Heard's behalf once the defamation trial resumes in Fairfax County, Va. on May 16.

Heard is being sued for $50 million by ex-husband Johnny Depp over her 2018 Washington Post op-ed chronicling her experiences as a domestic violence survivor. Though Heard never mentions Depp by name, his lawyers argue that references to their client (and Heard's previous abuse allegations following their 2017 divorce) are clear. The op-ed, Depp's team claim, has damaged the actor's career and reputation.
