Meet Amber Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez – she lived in Johnny Depp’s Los Angeles penthouse and thought of him as a brother, so why did she testify against The Pirates of the Caribbean star?
- Henriquez is a former actress who starred in the 2007 comedy Homo Erectus alongside Ali Larter as well as the 2021 documentary Johnny vs Amber
- Heard’s sister is her best friend and partner in crime, but according to Depp, Henriquez was also Heard’s ‘lackey’ and ‘punching bag’
Henriquez, who said during her testimony that she lived with Heard during the beginning of her relationship with The Pirates of the Caribbean star and thought of him as a brother, begged Heard not to marry him when she noticed bruising and swelling on her sister’s face and body, according to Variety.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 34-year-old, who is married to Gavin Henriquez and has two children – son Hunter Wylde and daughter Harlin Willow.
She is a former actress and model
Whitney Henriquez was born in Austin, Texas, on September 18, 1987. Per IMDB, she played the role of Ugna in the 2007 comedy Homo Erectus alongside Adam Rifkin, Ali Larter and Hayes MacArthur. She has also appeared in commercials, short films and as Heard’s youngest sister in the 2021 documentary Johnny vs Amber.
Though it was her childhood dream to become an actress, she stayed out of the spotlight and, according to Hollywood Life, now works in the hospitality industry. “Before the pandemic, I worked in hotels doing various food and beverage management jobs, primarily events as well,” she said during the just-ended Depp vs Heard defamation trial.
She conspired to sell Heard’s wedding pics to the press
In 2020, Daily News reported that Henriquez told London’s High Court she was kicked out of Depp’s luxurious penthouse in Los Angeles after she and Heard got into a fight. During her testimony in Depp’s libel case against News Group Newspapers, Henriquez claimed Depp accused her of planning to sell their wedding photos to her journalist friend Sara Kitnick.
