Debbie Depp's Involvement in the Legal Dispute Between Johnny Depp And Amber Heard  

Johnny Depp and his former wife, Amber Heard, have been in legal battles several times. In 2015, Heard won a legal case that resulted in a $7 million divorce settlement. However, in February 2019, Johnny sued Amber over an article she wrote in The Washington Post in December 2018.

During Depp's trial against Amber, his sister Christi Dembrowski supported him by testifying. It was rumored that Debbie was also prepared to testify against Johnny because her name appeared on Amber Heard's list of witnesses. However, she didn't end up testifying in the case.  

We don't know the exact reason why Debbie didn't testify, but because her name was on Heard's witness list, many people assumed that she might not have a good relationship with her brother. On the other hand, it seems that Johnny and Christi have maintained their friendship over the years.
