Johnny Depp has been wearing a ring inscribed with the word "truth" to court in his ongoing defamation trial with his ex-wife Amanda Heard.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor filed a lawsuit against Heard following a 2018 Washington Post article by Heard, in which she discussed her experience with domestic violence.
Depp can be seen wearing a ring with the word "truth" inscribed on it in multiple photos throughout the last week. Heard has been on the stand for much of the week.

Both Heard and Depp have made allegations that the other physically assaulted them. Depp's lawyers have argued that Heard fabricated an incident in which she accused Depp of beating her and had, in fact, verbally and physically assaulted him on numerous occasions.
Heard has denied these allegations and is countersuing for $100 million dollars, claiming that her career was harmed by statements made by Adam Waldman, Depp's attorney, in 2020 that the "Aquaman" star's allegations were a "hoax."
On Thursday, Heard's agent, Jessica Kovacevic, testified that "bad press" stemming from her legal dispute with Depp had caused the actor to miss out on movie roles.
"When you have an actor who is in a movie as successful as 'Aquaman' was their career totally changes and they're in a different echelon," Kovacevic said. "They get way more offers. They're just put in a different place position-wise with studios."
"With her, that did not happen," she added, saying that it happened "very significantly" for Heard's costar Jason Momoa but that "even a small percentage of that did not happen for her."
