'We know you LIED for Amber Heard': Whitney Henriquez slammed for 'I still stand with you, sissy' post

'I am so honored to testify for you, and I would do it a million times over because I know what I saw and because the truth is forever on your side,' said Whitney Henriquez

After Johnny Depp won the defamation battle against Amber Heard, the fans of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor have drowned out Heard’s fans. However, the hashtag, #IStandWithAmberHeard is out trending. Whitney Henriquez, Heard’s younger sister, also took to her Instagram page on June 5 and posted, “I still stand with you, sissy.”

Whitney, who was called to the stand to corroborate Heard’s allegations that Depp repeatedly assaulted her over the course of their four-year relationship, wrote, “I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself, for testifying both here in Virginia and in the UK, and for being the voice of so many who can’t speak to the things that happen behind closed doors. We knew that this was going to be an uphill battle and that the cards were stacked against us. But you stood up and spoke out regardless. I am so honored to testify for you, and I would do it a million times over because I know what I saw and because the truth is forever on your side.”

She added, “I’m so sorry that it wasn’t reflected in the decision made by this jury, but I will never give up on you, and neither will anyone who stands with you. Forever by your side… #istandwithamberheard.”

Johnny Depp’s fans used the trending hashtag to take a jab at the sisters. One of them said, “Of course. One sister lies, the other swears by it. That’s what similar/symbiotic sisters do. #AmberHeard #WhitneyHenriquez #JohnnyDeppVsAmberHeard”. Another user wrote, “#WhitneyHenriquez we know you lied for Amber Heard! We all saw it and we all heard it! You had a chance to make things right. It’s still not too late for either one of you.”

The trolling continued as another user tweeted, "#WhitneyHenriquez@realamberheard gold digging, lying, THIRSTY GIRLS!!!" One commented, "#WhitneyHenriquez will continue to be abused by her sister until she walks away for good. It's a shame she still doesn't understand this and has chosen the path of going down with AH."

Earlier, Jennifer Howell, Whitney’s former boss and friend, told the court that she loved Whitney Henriquez but believes she is trying to protect her sister. “She is doing something very wrong by supporting her allegations of abuse against Johnny Depp,” she said.

The siblings allegedly faced physical and emotional abuse from their father growing up and share a strong bond. When Depp’s legal team cross-examined Whitney and asked her if they had ever been hit as children, she admitted that their father would hit both sisters. “We would protect each other for sure,” she revealed.
