Chris Rock is currently in the midst of his ‘Ego Death Tour’ and has just arrived in Europe, where he presented his comedy special at London’s Royal Albert Hall theatre.
And just as everyone has been talking about the libel trial involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, Rock jumped at the chance and addressed the situation by following all the details that have come to light about the former couple.
Rock made specific reference to one of the most headline-grabbing moments of the trial so far when Depp alleged that he saw a photo of feces on his bed days after a fight with Heard.
“ Once you shit in someone’s bed, you’re guilty of everything. She shit on her bed and they had a relationship after that. What the hell is going on there? ”, Commented the humorist in his monologue.
While it was all for the good of his show, Chris certainly didn’t mince words when he spoke his mind on the subject. Also, he emphasized the need to believe in women, but he mentioned Amber Heard as an exception. Perhaps because of the eschatological incident in bed?

The 57-year-old comedian also finished off with a few jokes about the 2022 Oscars slap controversy: “In case you were wondering, I’m fine. I’ve got most of my hearing back and I’m trying to put on a decent show,” he said.
How the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues
In the trial that Depp initiated against Heard in 2019, the actor claims that an article the actress wrote about family violence was defamatory. That is why she asked him for US$50 million in damages, while the interpreter filed a counterclaim for US$100 million.
From the oral process, several violent situations came to light. Heard described “excessive emotional, verbal, and physical abuse” as well as “furious, hostile, humiliating, and threatening assaults”; Depp recalled that he once found “human fecal remains” on his bedside and that his then-wife stubbed out a cigarette in his face.
Amber Heard is currently in the midst of a lengthy trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp after the actor filed a $50 million lawsuit against her for defamation.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star claimed that Heard’s December 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post, which recounted her experiences with domestic abuse, destroyed her film career. Depp also stated that the actress was the real abuser in her relationship, although Amber denied the accusations and countersued him for $100 million.
The trial began in April and is scheduled to conclude on May 27.
