If you’ve been following the ongoing libel case between actor Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard, you’ll know that ‘penthouse 3’ was referenced in court this week.
According to The Independent, Depp owned five penthouses on the top floor of the same building between 2013 and 2016.
During the Depp-Heard trial, the court was shown bodycam footage from LAPD officers from a domestic violence call at penthouse 3. The footage is dated back to May 2016.
Amid the development, we reveal exactly where Johnny Depp’s former penthouse collection is.
LAPD bodycam footage of penthouse 3 released to court
Johnny Depp is suing ex-wife Amber Heard for libel in the US state of Virginia over a 2018 article she wrote for the Washington Post.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing Heard for $50 million. It comes after she referenced herself in the article as a “public figure representing domestic abuse”. The article did not mention Depp by name. Heard is countersuing Depp for $100 million claiming he defamed her when his legal team referred to her claims as “fake” and a “sexual violence hoax.”
On April 27, the court was shown LAPD bodycam footage dating back to May 2016 at Depp’s third penthouse.
The body camera footage shows LAPD officer William Gatlin and his partner knocking on the door for access, The Independent reports.
The same publication states that Gatlin wasn’t aware, at the time, that it was Depp’s home that he was visiting. The actor was not inside the property at the time of the officer’s visit.
Where is Johnny Depp’s penthouse 3?
As reported by Cheat Sheet, penthouse 3, alongside the other four apartments, located on the top floor of the Art Deco Eastern Columbia Building on Broadway in the Downtown Los Angeles theatre district.
Heard and Depp resided in penthouse 3, and Depp’s longtime friend and neighbor, Isaac Baruch, lived in another of the homes the actor owned.
According to The Independent, Heard’s sister Whitney occupied another penthouse, and friends lived in the others.
In 2016, Depp’s entire penthouse collection was put on the market. As per Men’s Gear, all five were on offer at the time for $12,780,000, but individual prices were considered.
Twitter users think the trial highlights the ex-couples wealth
On Twitter, some users were surprised to hear that Johnny owned five separate penthouses between 2013 and 2016. They took to the platform to weigh in.
One person tweeted: “Wait he had penthouses 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5?”
Another wrote: “I find it funny how Depp talks so casually about penthouses 1,2, 3, and the private island.”
