HOUSTON - One of Johnny Depp's former colleagues is speaking out on his behalf. Actor Greg Ellis suffered from his own drama in the court system and has started a non-profit to help other families going through something similar.Johnny Depp-Amber Heard Trial: Closing arguments underway; jury deliberations set to beginGreg Ellis recently released his book and video podcast The Respondent about his life's story.
While the Emmy-nominated actor is often recognized for his roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Trek, he's now getting his name out there, helping those stuck in family court."I think we have a national health emergency going on that very few people are talking about; certainly very few politicians," says Greg. "And that's our ‘boy crisis’ and family law is fueling that, the cartel of our family law system, it's systemic."We've listened to testimony, seen some evidence, and heard a lot of objections.
Who will the jury side with: Johnny Depp or Amber Heard? Attorney and TMZ founder Harvey Levin drops into Houston's Morning Show for his take.Greg had been married twenty years when things went sour.
He says his now ex-wife made an anonymous call to the police and falsely claimed he threatened to harm their children. Like a script out of Hollywood, he feels he was unduly arrested in 2015 with no evidence of abuse.
