Jennifer Grey has said in a recent interview amid Johnny Depp's defamation trial against Amber Heard that the whole situation "breaks her heart" and she "wishes" it would be resolved.

The 62-year-old Dirty Dancing star was, for a short time, engaged to the 58-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actor in 1989.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she said: "All I can say about that trial is that it breaks my heart for everybody involved. I just think it's sad and I wish it was resolved. I just wish everybody well."

This comes after it was reported that she had described her former fiancé, Depp, as "crazy jealous and paranoid" when they were together.

She first met Depp in the late 80s after a friend set them up on a blind date. Their romance started soon after she broke off a previous engagement with actor Matthew Broderick.

The actress described their first date in her memoir, titled Out of the Corner, writing: “We ate, talked, drank Jack Daniel’s, laughed our asses off, took cigarette breaks midcourse. He was so ridiculously beautiful. And surprisingly open, funny, quirky, and sweet.”

She then revealed that Depp proposed to her within two weeks of meeting her. He also got her a dog "to keep her company" while he was away.

Grey continued in her memoir: "Johnny was commuting every week back and forth from Vancouver but had begun more and more regularly to be getting into trouble: fights in bars, skirmishes with cops.

"He'd started missing his flights home to LA having overslept or, when he did come home, he'd be crazy jealous and paranoid about what I'd been up to while he was gone."

Heard, 36, accuses Depp of physical and sexual assault and is set to continue testifying against her ex-partner on May 16.

During her testimony last week, the Pineapple Express actress made a series of damning allegations against Depp - including that he sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle and repeatedly physically abused her.

Depp denies her claims.

Heard's 2018 Washington Post op-ed, which the ongoing defamation case is based on, was about the consequences women face when they speak out against abuse.
