A former personal assistant to Amber Heard said she never saw the actress suffer any physical abuse at the hands of then-husband Johnny Depp — but she said Heard once spit in her face when she asked for a higher salary.
Heard descended into screaming fits of blind rage, sent incoherent text messages at 4 a.m. and was often drunk and high on illegal drugs, Kate James testified in a video deposition that was played in court on Thursday during the trial for Depp's libel suit against Heard.Theactor has accused Heard of indirectly defaming him in a 2018 opinion piece that she wrote for. Heard refers to herself in the article as a "public figure representing domestic abuse.
Depp sits in the courtroom after a break on Thursday. He denies abusing Heard, but her lawyers say evidence will prove that he did. James said she was also tasked with picking up two copies of any magazine that featured Heard and storing them in the garage to prevent Depp from seeing them. Heard went into a "blind rage" when James failed to place the magazines in the garage, James said.Regarding Heard and Depp's time together, James said Heard was a "very dramatic person" who was deeply insecure in the relationship. Heard often called James to cry and complain about Depp, she said.
