All the latest news from the court in Fairfax, Virginia, on the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial saga. Thursday, April 21, saw the seventh day of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard take place in Fairfax, Virginia.
The reason for the trial is that Depp is suing Heard for 50 million dollars after she wrote a domestic abuse column in the Washington Post in 2018.
He claims this is incorrect and has had knock-on effects in terms of his acting career. Heard, meanwhile, has stood by her claims and countersued Depp for 100 million dollars.
The last two days have seen Depp take to the stand and discuss several moments from his relationship with his ex-wife. He also discussed anecdotes from his life.
Friday saw Depp back on the stand for a third straight day, as the cross-examination went up a notch after starting late in the day on Wednesday.
During Wednesday’s session, Depp made the case that it was Heard who was the aggressor and not him. He explained that his ex-wife mirrored the abuse his mother showed towards him.
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star also discussed the infamous incident in Australia. This is when he had his finger sliced open. Also, human faeces – which he claims to be from Heard or a friend of hers – being found on his side of the bed.
In addition, the court was able to hear an audio recording in which Heard told Depp “you didn’t get punched”. He recalled occasions when Heard had wanted to go to bed, but he had not. THIS something that to her was “just not acceptable”.
“It would stir up some rather unusual reactions from her,” he said. “I didn’t understand why I, as a 50-something-year-old man, couldn’t go to sleep when I wanted to … it started out like that.”
On Monday, a doctor and a nurse recounted the hunt for the missing tip of Depp’s middle finger, severed in March 2015. This was while he was in Australia for the filming of the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
The actor has accused Heard of throwing a bottle at him, severing the finger. Heard has said Depp probably cut his finger when he smashed a telephone.
During the fight, she has alleged, Depp beat her, choked her, and sexually assaulted her.
David Kipper, Depp’s “concierge doctor”, who treated the actor for addiction, earlier said that Depp’s chef found the missing finger amid blood and broken glass in the kitchen.
Before Depp’s testimony, the court heard from his on-set sound technician, Keenan Wyatt. Wyatt said shooting on the film was delayed for three weeks while Depp sought surgery.
Wyatt testified that he accompanied Depp, his former wife Vanessa Paradis, and his children to their home in the Bahamas on several occasions.
He also testified that Depp was a loving father who never raised his voice to his children. He also added that Depp’s personality did not change when he drank – when instead “he became sleepy”.
