A former agent for Hollywood star Johnny Depp testified that Amber Heard`s abuse allegations had a `traumatic impact` on Depp`s image, and cost him the `Pirates of the Caribbean` franchise. Christian Carino, a talent agent at Creative Artists Agency, appeared by video deposition at Depp`s defamation trial. Depp is suing Heard, his former wife, for $50 million, claiming that she destroyed his career by fabricating claims of domestic violence, reports `Variety`.
Carino testified that it became clear, through conversations with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and CAA co-chair Bryan Lourd, that Disney had decided it could not continue to employ Depp. Carino said that the abuse claims were never openly discussed as the reason, but that it was simply "understood" within the industry. Carino was friends with both Heard and Depp, and represented both of them at various points, though he said he no longer has a relationship with either of them.
