- Amber Heard's lawyer said Heard used a Milani product to cover bruises while married to Johnny Depp.
- The makeup brand Milani said on TikTok that the product came out a year after the couple's divorce.
- Depp is suing Heard, accusing her of defaming him with domestic-violence claims.
A makeup brand is disputing a claim made by the actor Amber Heard's lawyer that Heard used one of the company's products to cover up bruises during her marriage to the actor Johnny Depp.
In a viral TikTok video posted Thursday, the drugstore makeup brand Milani said the product in question — the Milani Conceal + Perfect All-in-One Correcting Kit — was released in 2017, a year after Heard filed for divorce from Depp. The video has since been viewed 4.6 million times.

Depp is suing Heard, accusing her of ruining his career and reputation by insinuating in an op-ed article that she had been a victim of domestic violence at his hands. The defamation lawsuit asks for $50 million in damages.
Heard responded to Depp's lawsuit with a $100 million counterclaim alleging he assaulted her before and during their marriage. Heard's lawyer had said Heard used the Milani product during the couple's marriage to cover what the lawyer said were bruises caused by Depp.
During his opening statement earlier in the week, Heard's lawyer J. Ben Rottenborn had presented the makeup kit in court, per Yahoo News.
"This was what she used," he said, holding the compact in his hand. "She became very adept at it. You're going to hear the testimony from Amber about how she had to mix the different colors for the different days of the bruises as they developed in the different coloring and how she would use to touch those up to be able to cover those."
Depp and Heard were married in 2015 with only 20 to 25 people in attendance, People magazine reported. They divorced a year later, after Heard appeared in court with a bruised face and requested a restraining order against Depp.
