A drugstore makeup brand is now embroiled in Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s courtroom drama. After Heard’s team made a claim centered on Milani Cosmetics’ “All In One Correcting Kit,” the makeup brand has come to correct Heard’s schedule.
In his opening statement, Heard’s attorney, J. Ben Rottenborn, appeared in court with a Milani Cosmetics “All In One Correcting Kit” in hand and claimed that the actress used the creamy concealer and color correcting kit to correct her bruises during her alleged physical Conceal treatment and psychologically abusive relationship with Depp.
“She used that,” Rottenborn said, showing the round gold box. “She became very adept at it. You will hear Amber’s testimony on how she had to mix the different colors for the different days of the bruises as they developed into the different colors and how she touched them up to cover them up.”
However, the Aquaman star filed for divorce from Depp in 2016 before Milani Cosmetics said the brand had launched this product.
Milani Cosmetics responded to the claim with a TikTok. “You asked us… let the recording show our correcting kit launched in 2017,” the brand captioned the video.
The video highlighted that Heard’s alleged abuse by Depp began around 2014 and that the couple divorced in 2016 before the correction set was released.
TikTok users had their say on Milani’s video in the comments section.
“Milani takes stand RN,” one commented. “Oh my god is that what happened when Elle Woods cracked down on the perm thing?” commented another.
Heard filed for divorce from Depp in May 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. Heard was later granted a restraining order against her actor ex-husband after she claimed Depp physically assaulted her.
Depp, who once wrote that he hopes Heard’s “rotting corpse” will decompose in the “trunk of a Honda Civic,” is currently suing Heard for $50 million over a 2018 comment she wrote for the Washington Post, in which she wrote that she is “a public figure who portrays domestic violence.”
Although Heard did not name Depp in her play, his attorneys argue that it is clear that she was referring to the actor and that it had “a significant impact on Mr. Depp’s family and his ability to work.”
Heard is suing her ex-husband for $100 million.
