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.

"Your verdict must be based solely upon the evidence and instructions of the court. No matter who you tell, you always have to tell more people. "On May 27, 2016 Ms. Heard walked into a courthouse in Los Angeles, California, to get a no notice, ex-parte restraining order against Mr. Depp and in doing so, ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp," Vasquez said.
The high profile celebrity defamation case comes to a close six weeks after it began.
"It's not about whether you think Ms Heard may have been abusive to Mr Depp". "This is a window into the heart and mind of America's favourite pirate," Mr Rottenborn said. "I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out," she wrote. then Amber wins," he said. Mr Depp offered a starkly different picture, alleging that Ms Heard was a volatile spouse who abused and demeaned him. Ms Heard, 36, counter-sued for $100m.

"Every time she is called a liar... "It's not about whether you think Ms Heard may have been abusive to Mr Depp. It's not." Tell him to let Amber move on with hers. Stand up for it. "If you do, he will start a campaign of global humiliation against you." Tell him to move on with his life.
Closing arguments ask jurors to consider what their verdict in defamation case will mean for domestic abuse victims.
“What we have is a mountain of unproved allegations that are wild, over the top, and implausible,” Vasquez said. “She came into this courtroom ready to give the performance of her lifetime … and she gave it.” Chew added that Depp was a supporter of the #MeToo movement. “Take a minute to really think about what you heard there,” Vasquez asked the jury. You either believe all of it, or none of it.” It wasn’t immediately clear when the jury may return a verdict.
Depp has sued his ex-wife for $50 million over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018. While Heard has countersued Depp for $100 million.
