Johnny Depp and Amber Heard news LIVE: Aquaman star's sister accused of lying after claiming she was not 'frightened' of sibling

Amber Heard's sister has been accused of lying after claiming she was not "frightened" of her older sibling.

Ms Heard, 34, has concluded her evidence in her ex-husband Johnny Depp's libel case against The Sun’s executive editor Dan Wootton and the paper’s publisher News Group Newspapers (NGN). The actress has made over 14 allegations of domestic violence, which NGN relies on in its defence of an April 2018 article which branded Mr Depp, 57, a "wife beater". Mr Depp denies the allegations and accuses Ms Heard of orchestrating a #MeToo "hoax" against him.

Ms Heard's younger sister Whitney Henriquez had told the High Court she was not "frightened" of her sibling and denied ever being on the receiving end of any violence.

But Mr Depp's lawyer David Sherborne accused Ms Henriquez of lying on Friday and a bombshell tape was played in court which shows injuries said to have been inflicted on her by Ms Heard. Mr Sherborne said his team was given the video overnight "to explain Amber Heard has a history of violence and attacking people".
