Ireland Baldwin Lashes Out At Amber Heard, Calls Her 'Disaster of a Human Being' Amid Lawsuit

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's trial continues in Fairfax, Virginia. In recent foldings in the defamation case, the court heard an audio recording in which Heard was heard admitting to hitting Depp and not punching him.

She also explained to the court that she was not certain of all the details due to being "on an Ambien," a medication primarily used for the short-term treatment of sleeping problems.

As the audio was played, the Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp looked down and sullen. Within few hours of broadcast, the audio went viral on social media.

Reacting to the audio, Ireland Baldwin, who is the daughter of actor Alec Baldwin took to her Instagram to lend support to Johnny Depp during these difficult times.

"The thing is, I know women who are exactly like this," read the text added to the screenshot the model shared. "They are manipulative and cold and they use their very womanhood to play victim and turn the world against the man because we live in a society where it's cool to say men are all the worst and blah blah f***ity blah.

"Men can experience abuse too and this absolute disaster of a human being Amber Heard is a terrible person and I hope Johnny gets his reputation and his life back. And I hope he's in like 5 Pirates movies."

As the audio clip played in the court, Heard was heard telling Depp: "You told me to do it. You told me 'go do that.'"

"You punched me in the f****** thing," Depp responded in the viral clip.

"You figured it all out," Aquaman star Heard added. "I didn't punch you by the way."

"I'm sorry that I didn't hit you across the face in a proper slap," she continued. "I was hitting you, I was not punching you. You're not punched."

"Don't tell me what it feels like to be punched," Depp said.

Additionally, Heard's lawyer, Ben Rottenborn, showed the court text exchanges between actor Paul Bettany and Depp, including one in which the two actors once joked about killing Heard.

Texts from June 2013 showed Depp and Bettany joking about how to kill Heard, with Depp writing: "Let's burn Amber!!!"

Bettany wrote back: "I'm not sure we should burn Amber. She is delightful company and pleasing on the eye. We could of course do the English course of action and perform a drowning test. Thoughts? You have a swimming pool."

"Let's drown her before we burn her!!!" Depp responded. "I will f*** her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead."

"My thoughts entirely!" Bettany replied. "Lets be CERTAIN before we pronounce her a witch."

Bettany previously said he was "embarrassed" to have his texts made public during another of Depp and Heard's court battles, telling The Times earlier this year: "I knew him before. But we hadn't spoken for years. During the marriage I didn't know them. So I wasn't around for any of that. We live in a world without context."

This trial comes after Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard in a defamation case of $50m after he lost a 2020 libel case against British tabloid The Sun, which had labeled the actor a "wife-beater" in reference to Heard's allegations of domestic abuse.

Heard accused Depp of domestic violence. While Depp denied all the allegations during the three-week trial in London, the overseeing judge found that the U.K. publication's claims that the actor was abusive to Heard were "substantially true."
