After Name Botch-Up Fiasco, Former Amanda Nunes UFC Rival Slams “Friend of Amber Heard” in a 7-Word Rant

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s relationship has stirred up a lot of drama. The two have had an on-and-off relationship that lasted almost a decade and are now involved in a trial. UFC fighter Raquel Pennington somehow got involved in this mess, as she cleared her name and poked fun at a witness for the case.

Raquel ‘Rocky’ Pennington is a UFC fighter who currently competes in the featherweight division. Coincidently, she also shares her name with one of the witnesses who appeared in court this week amidst the Depp – Heard case.

‘Rocky’ wasn’t a fan as she took to social media to mock her. She shared a picture of the witness who shared the same name and captioned it, “This chick… messing up a great name.”

She also denied using makeup to fake Heard’s injuries.
