iO Tillet-Wright, fast friend of Amber Heard, is the guy that called 911 the fateful night of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s last fight. You know, the one where Heard claimed that Depp struck her in the face with a phone.

iO has been very vocal in his support of Heard, claiming to bear witness to the after-effects of many violent episodes where Heard said that Depp brutalized her. Blood on a pillow, hair on the floor, that sort of thing. Mind you, iO never witnessed any violence, just saw that (staged?) scene afterwards.

Now, iO is trying to quash the subpoena calling for him to appear for a deposition.

In his motion to quash, iO says: “I am not a party to the above-referenced actions. I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein, and if called upon to testify thereto, I could and would completely do so.”

But…

“I have never been served with any subpoena in this action (Case No. 19stcp04763) or in the Virginia Fairfax County Court Action (Case no. CL-2019-0002911). Rather, I understand that Mr. Depp’s lawyers emailed copies of the subpoena to my lawyer, Lee Brenner, on January 20, 2021.”

“I do not reside at the address of 6144 Panorama Street, Joshua Tree, CA 92252, and I have never resided at that address. I have no ownership interest in that address.”

I understand that a man named Anthony was at the address that day, and I have spoken to him. He said that he spoke to a process server that day (Jan 19, 2021) who left a pile of papers on the front step.”

“I declare under penalty of perjury and under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.”

“Executed this 8th day of February 2021, and Joshua Tree, California.”

And he signed it.

Further: “Here, Mr. Wright was not served with the subpoena at issue. See Wright Cecl. At ¶ 3-5. First, he does not reside at the address listed on the Subpoena nor does he have any ownership interest in that address. Id., at ¶3, Mr. Wright has spoken with a man named Anthony who was at the address listed on the “proof of service” on January 19 2021 and was told that a process server left a pile of papers on the front step. Id., at ¶5. Mr. Wright does not know why anyone would say that they served him because they simply did not. Id., at ¶ 4. In the light of the foregoing, the subpoenas are procedurally defective and should be quashed.

Okay, then.

First, if iO has no ownership or interest in that address, how does he know who was there on that day or any other? He clearly knows more than he's letting on, to have spoken with a man he says was there that day.

Look, I don’t care one way or another where iO lives, but this just doesn’t add up.

What’s iO so scared of that he’s trying to dodge his subpoena? Is he afraid that the hoax is finally going to catch up with him and that he could face charges of perjury if he lies to an American court? Fines can be hefty, and jail isn’t exactly kind to trans persons.

Maybe the time has come for iO to reconsider his position in the Amber Heard fiasco. Because, dodge as he might, that subpoena is going to catch up to him, like it or not.
