The $100 million defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has taken a number of wild and wonderful turns during its seven weeks in court.
From bizarre witness testimonies to superfans who’ve flown in from around the world, we’ve seen and heard it all.
But nothing takes the cake like what happened in court on Monday 23 May when a woman bizarrely claimed to have given birth to a baby allegedly fathered by Johnny Depp.

WOMAN CLAIMS ACTOR IS FATHER OF HER BABY
On Monday during a break in the court’s proceedings, an unidentified woman stood up and made a shocking statement in front of the courtroom
“Johnny, I love you! Our souls are connected”, she shouted. The woman’s bold act caught the attention of Johnny Depp himself, who smiled and waved back
The woman held up a baby, adding: “This baby is yours”. The woman and baby were then approached by a court official and escorted out of the courtroom.
According to Law & Crime, the woman’s access wristband was confiscated and she was banned from returning. The publication added that the woman in question later claimed she was “joking” with her baby claims.
The woman and her baby were one of 100 spectators allowed inside the courtroom during the day’s proceedings. Many Johnny Depp fans wait outside the courtroom from as early as 01:00 in order to secure a spot inside.
It’s unclear if the woman will be charged with contempt of court.
