“He has a production company called Infinitum Nihil.” - Christi Dembrowski
Depp founded the company in 2004 to develop projects where he would serve as actor and/or producer.
Christi met Amber Heard for the first time when she came to the office for casting Rum Diary, probably 2008.
When Amber was working in between set and some of the scenes she was a bit standoffish to others. Christi didn’t have that much time with her on set.
Christi was one of the producers to that movie.
The next time Christi saw Amber was when they were promoting the movie The Rum Diary in 2011. She was able to attend the event and premier in Los Angeles. After the premier they had dinner, she saw Johnny and Amber talking quite a bit and Amber seemed very friendly at that time.
She found that Johnny and Amber were romantically involved that same year.
Amber moved in with Johnny Depp in the Eastern Columbia Building.

Depp’s Lawyer: “How many penthouses did your brother own on the top floor of the Eastern Columbia Building?”

Depp’s lawyer: “Do you know who lived in those five apartments when your brother and Miss Heard went to live there?”
Christi: “I know who lived down there. I know Isaac, a friend of Johnny’s named Isaac live down there. I know Amber’s friend Rocky and her boyfriend, lived in one of the penthouses. Amber’s sister Whitney lived in one of the penthouses.”

Christi: “I booked the extra hotel room because if Johnny was at home or anywhere like that he was able to.. if they argued he was able to leave the room, leave the argument and go like he’s always done, and hide. In a different room to get away from it. When they were travel for reasons, for press or whatever. And we booked the hotel rooms, I wanted to make sure that there was an extra room. Because it wasn’t unusual in the mean for them to have an argument, so I wanted to make sure that there was an extra room.”
Depp’s lawyer: “Did your brother ever have occasions to use that extra room that you booked for him?”
Christi: “Yes.”
It was Christi’s idea, because she saw a repeat happening in life when we were kids and arguments and fighting would start to happen our first thing was to go and hide, she says. To get away from it.

And Amber had come in and asked if she was interrupting us. We said “No”, we weren’t supposed to really talk about the meetings to anyone. But Johnny told Amber that I had just had a meeting with Dior and that they were interested in him. Her reaction to that was .. she was in disbelief and sort of disgust because she said “Dior? Why would Dior wanna do business with you? They are about class, and they are about style. And you don’t have style”. It was that insulting kind of… taking away that moment, you know that insult is there. You know, I’ve seen the insults multiple times actually”

Christi: “I was… I was scared. I was devastated actually that is was going to happen as quickly as it were being pushed for. I actually tried to talk him into just waiting a little bit longer. Just a little bit and not rushing.”
Depp’s lawyer: “Why did you want him to wait a little bit longer?”
Christi: “There had been conversations about a prenuptial agreement that had been going on for a while. And as the date was approaching, you know, for the Island ceremony there was no success in the prenuptial conversation. And I knew it was important. His representors had explained the importance and I knew it was important to him for his children. And we were rushing to something without his children being protected.”

6.14.00
Christie: "I know he doesn't want people to feel that he could ever be that type of person, which he isn't. And to know that actually that is something that is attached to him now. Which trickles down to his children. You know, I think that part more than anything is the part that has bother him."
