Amber Heard testimony: What she's said so far in the Johnny Depp ... (iNews)

The 'Aquaman' star made a number of accusations of assault against Depp, her former husband, on her first day on the stand – something he has denied.

I hate you’… when he grabbed a bottle that was on the bar and penetrated her with that bottle,” she said. I felt heat, and I felt something were dripping down my hand, and then I looked down and realised the tip of my finger had been severed, and I was looking at my bone sticking out, and blood was just pouring out,” he said. The suggestion was an attempt to find a “peaceful settlement,” Depp said. “She threw the bottle, and it made contact and shattered everywhere. just trying to will myself to have the strength to know what I should do in this moment because I was heartbroken.” I believed there was a line, he wouldn’t cross it again and that was it.” “Tell them I, Johnny Depp – a man – I’m a victim too of domestic violence.” the best thing that ever happened to me. “I thought this must be a joke… he rips my underwear off and then he proceeds to do a cavity search… I didn’t know what to do… he said he was looking for his drugs, his cocaine.

Amber Heard takes the stand for 2nd day in Johnny Depp ... (Globalnews.ca)

Amber Heard took the stand for the first time Wednesday, telling the court about multiple times she allegedly suffered physical abuse at the hands of Depp.

When she attempted to leave the conversation, Heard testified Depp kicked her in the back. She claimed Depp held her down and “whacked” her in the face. The initial court case began when Depp filed a US $50-million defamation lawsuit over a Washington Post op-ed penned by Heard in late 2018 about domestic abuse. Heard also claimed Depp slapped her face during the conversation. Heard testified Depp accused her of flirting with a woman at the event. Heard testified Depp had a “brief stint of sobriety” before he began using drugs again, when the photo was taken.

Amber Heard takes the stand in day 2 of trial against Johnny Depp ... (NBC News)

Amber Heard is set to take the stand for a second day on Thursday in the defamation suit filed by her former husband, fellow actor Johnny Depp.

Depp told her the tattoo said “wino” and slapped her when she laughed about it, Heard said. The problem is the reflexive assumption that Depp is being wronged, along with the gleeful way social media is harassing the woman who accused him of violence. He said that he locked himself in a bathroom during the fight and went to sleep. "There was no one to back me up, just his employees and everyone who had been taking care of him versus my word," Heard said. And there’s the toxic fandom gone amok as people mindlessly cheer on a man who has already lost a libel trial against the British tabloid The Sun after it called him a “wife beater.” Heard's legal team pushed Depp during cross-examination regarding his claims that he wasn't drinking prior to the flight. "I watched it," Heard said. "I already knew he was drunk...he reeked of weed and alcohol," Heard said. Depp had been filming the movie "Black Mass" at the time, according to his own witness testimony. He told the court he did not recall having any alcohol before the flight except for possibly a glass or two of champagne. I thought to myself, 'I don't know what to do,'" Heard said. Heard took the stand on Wednesday for more than two hours and described meeting Depp, the beginnings of their romantic relationship and when things allegedly turned abusive.

I fell to the floor and caught myself on the floor, and it just felt like I was looking at the floor of the plane for what felt like a long time. And I thought to myself, 'I don't know what to do. Hurry up," Heard said. At the time, they were traveling with security personnel and Depp's assistants.

'I felt so embarrassed': Amber Heard claims Johnny Depp abused ... (USA TODAY)

Amber Heard entered day two of testimony against Johnny Depp in the libel lawsuit. She claimed he abused her as a result of jealousy.

Depp argued that he would remove himself from the room during fights with Heard to avoid escalation. But jurors heard a recording Heard made toward the end of the incident, in which it sounds like Depp is howling and babbling incoherently. "I felt so embarrassed that he could kick me to the ground in front of people." He denied that he'd drank excessively before getting on the plane, and said Heard initiated an argument and pursued him until he felt compelled to hide in a bathroom. Heard said Depp got even more aggressive when she began filming "The Adderall Diaries" with James Franco in 2014. She later claimed Depp had a range of extreme moods throughout their stay including "bursts into anger." The two would reunite in person on a private plane to go to a birthday party for Lily-Rose. "I was so in love ... I can’t describe that kind of joy." "I had just met them and I didn’t want them to think poorly of me and hate me not knowing what was going on behind doors." "I was unsure what that feeling was but I suspected I had a broken nose. "Johnny screamed at me in the hotel room and all I could think about was the kids were in an adjoining room. Depp's children, Lily-Rose Depp and Jack, were also with the couple.

Johnny Depp's entourage enabled drug and alcohol use, Amber ... (The Guardian)

Actor tells court that Depp would deny what had taken place when he was drunk, and that she suffered suspected broken nose by him.

I don’t know why the doctors and nurses wanted me to be there. I was trying to figure what happened.” The doctors elected to keep Depp on painkillers so he could finish filming, she said. He asked if I was wet, why I wasn’t looking at him … did James do this and that to me?” “I didn’t understand what was going on,” Heard said. Depp, Heard said, had locked himself in the bathroom and passed out. After the Met Gala in New York, Heard testified, Depp had thrown a bottle at her. I suspected I had a broken nose. She said: “Every time I got a script, it was what kind of, you know, how I was dressing? “I wanted to eliminate any doubt in his mind and in other people’s minds. So I brought it up to him and brought it up to my therapist,” she said. But Depp, she said, had ruled it out.

Her emotional testimony frequently halted as Depp's lawyers persistently and successfully objected to various questions.

At some point between then and the next day, Heard said, Depp’s finger was injured (previous testimony has described it as a severed fingertip). Heard said she found letters scrawled on the walls in blood. Depp accused her of sleeping with various co-stars, such as actors Eddie Redmayne, Jim Sturgess and Billy Bob Thornton. In one instance, she testified, after he took eight to 10 ecstasy pills, he held her by the neck and slammed her against a wall, at which point she slapped him. “It was the first time something like that happened in front of somebody,” she said. She took a liquor bottle and broke it on the tile floor. He also, she said, “whacked” her in the face. In another instance, she said, he choked her and wrestled with her on a table. “I think that was the first time I was like, ‘Is this a broken nose?’” On another occasion, Heard said, she took Lily-Rose to Benihana for her birthday while Depp slept off a binge. That Johnny had finally hit rock bottom and finally, he felt like changing for good.” At the their engagement party five months later, she testified that he spent most of the event upstairs, taking drugs with her father. “Even if it was platonic, I couldn’t be photographed with other men or women that other people could possibly spin as romantic,” she testified. She also said that he attempted to control her career, and she began choosing roles requiring minimal makeup and avoiding romance or sex for her characters — if she chose to work at all — per his comfort level. The case centers on a 2018 op-ed Heard wrote that was published in the The Washington Post, which alleged domestic abuse from an unnamed person.
