The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial comes to a close Friday after six weeks of testimony.

Vasquez said Heard did not seek medical treatment after this alleged attack, and that the actress was the actual “monster” in that house. Chew admitted that Depp has said he does use drugs and alcohol, and is known for being chronically late to set. That has to change.” He pointed out that the op-ed doesn’t actually describe any of the alleged abusive acts that Heard testified to during the trial. Judge Penney Azcarate said there “appears to be an Amber Alert” and the phones eventually quieted, after which Rottenborn continued. Rottenborn also presented photographs of a seemingly passed out Depp, and various messages from Depp to his friends in which he writes that he needs to stop drinking. The employee testified that they were able to publish the video of Depp destroying the cabinets in 15 minutes, but Rottenborn said Heard was on a flight during that time. He also played audio in which Depp referred to Heard as a “f---ing c---,” and the video Heard shot in which Depp slams cabinet doors, breaking them, and pours a large glass of wine. “It’s not about whether you think Ms. Heard may have been abusive to Mr. Depp.” “We’re asking you to finally hold this man responsible,” Bredehoft said. Amber Heard’s countersuit revolved around several statements to the media characterizing her claims as a hoax. Depp’s attorneys suggest that Heard was abusive to him, rather than the other way around.
