About

Jennifer Howell, chief executive of the Art of Elysium, testified by video deposition that Whitney Henriquez lived in her home from May 2015 until April 2016. Howell said Henriquez came and went during that period, but her belongings had moved out by April. Howell also said she had not seen Johnny Depp use drugs or appear intoxicated, and that Amber Heard had not shown her injury photographs or told her Depp had abused her.

Howell discussed an email she sent Henriquez in July 2020 urging her to tell the truth. Asked whether Adam Waldman helped draft it, Howell said he did not. She said she did not recall speaking with him about contacting the ACLU. Howell also confirmed that the Art of Elysium received a Fidelity Charitable donation in Heard's honor.
