Carino was understandably in the spotlight during his engagement to Lady Gaga and following their split. Now, he's back in the media’s eye thanks to the defamation lawsuit brought by Depp against Heard. Carino, having represented Depp professionally in the past, was called on to testify in the trial.
During his testimony via video, Carino said that Heard’s claims of domestic abuse cost Depp the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise by harming his public image. Carino acknowledged that Depp had also been late to set, but said that was a longtime fact that film studios had learned to work with.
Heard filed for divorce and a restraining order in 2016, and at the same time made allegations of domestic abuse against Depp. Carino testified that he never observed signs of physical abuse and that the exposure from those lawsuits damaged Depp’s reputation.
Newsweek reported that Carino also testified about Heard’s alleged relationship with Elon Musk, which may have happened around the time she made her allegations against Depp.
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million. In spite of the financial losses Depp is blaming Heard for, he still owns a private island near Nassau, Bahamas.
