The Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial got back underway in Fairfax, Virginia yesterday, returning after a brief recess
One of the most high-profile legal battles in modern history, interest in the case has skyrocketed in recent weeks and Law & Crime – many people’s go-to source for live coverage – has hit record-breaking viewing numbers since proceedings began over a month ago .
Heard is counter-suing for $100 million, arguing that Depp and his legal team defamed her in their statements that her allegations were an “abuse hoax”. She claims that Depp “authorised and conspired” with his counsel in order to “attempt to destroy and defame Ms Heard in the press”. She then recounted a time when Depp allegedly assaulted her while the two were on honeymoon in South Asia. According to her, the two argued on the last night of their time aboard the Orient Express as Depp wanted “permission” to break his sobriety. He had already been drinking “brown liquor” that night she recalled, alleging that Depp slapped her and then held her by her neck.Later in the day, Heard talks of a sex scene in the moviethat supposedly caused Depp to “freak out”.
The court was also shown a series of photos of Heard, which she says were taken by her friend Rocky Pennington after Depp allegedly threw a phone at her on May 21 2016 when he came to visit her in LA. “The monster had become that thing that was now normal and not the exception. The violence had become normal and not the exception. I believe he would have taken it too far and I wouldn’t be here,” she finished.Also discussing her much-talked-about make-up routine, Heard’s lawyer asked her to describe what she would do when she had bruises or cuts to cover.
