Following a week-long pause in proceedings, celebrity actress Amber Heard began testifying in the $50 million defamation dispute with ex-husband Johnny Depp on Monday.
In a 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post, Depp accused Heard of defaming him, when she portrayed herself as a symbol of “domestic abuse.” Depp alleges that the report cost him lucrative acting performances, despite the fact that he was not identified in the article.
Last month, Depp spent four days on the stand, including a cross-examination, giving his own testimony. On May 3, Depp’s legal team declared their case closed.
The day was almost entirely about the money as the high-profile event entered its fifth week. Specifically, the career of Aquaman star Heard and the $7 million settlement Heard received from Depp in their 2016 divorce.
Heard testified that she filed for divorce from Johnny Depp in 2016 out of fear for her safety, and that she also requested a restraining order after an incident in which he smacked her with a phone. The jury was shown pictures of her with redness on the side of her face and others that showed some black and red bruises. Depp has agreed to throwing a phone, but on the couch, not at Heard. Fans are supporting Johnny Depp.
The actress stated while married to Johnny Depp, she was suffering from shingles and was ‘losing weight and hair.’
Heard said that she wanted to “move on” and wanted Johnny to do so too, referring to the public spectacle, the media attention, and the long-awaited trial.
Heard set forth the stipulations of her three-film Justice League contract with Warner Bros. during, her testimony about how the Depp controversy had damaged her career life — Aquaman, The Stand, L’Oréal.
The actress said she never brought up the sexual assault charges in her marriage first. Heard explained her $100 million countersuit against Depp in the summer of 2020, saying that her ex-right-hand husband’s man Waldman allegedly leaked material to the media about sexual assault claims and more on behalf of the actor to discredit the actress.
Without risking losing the jury’s interest with a lengthy examination, Depp’s Lawyer Elaine Bredehoft returned to the couple’s 2016 divorce proceedings immediately after the lunch break to refocus their attention.
The question of how much of the $7 million divorce settlement was truly contributed to the ACLU and LA’s Children’s Hospital, as the celebrity actress promised six years ago, was a key focus of today’s evidence.
