Under cross-examination, Johnny Depp was asked if he was more upset by events in 2016 than by what Amber Heard wrote in allegedly defamatory article.
Johnny Depp’s tales of his chaotic childhood, rise to fame and use of drugs and booze steal the spotlight on first day of his testimony against Amber Heard.“It appears that Depp’s lawyers are letting him tell his story in his own way,” attorney Rachel Fiset told The Times Wednesday. “He is providing long narratives to extremely open-ended questions. It appears that the strategy is for him to relate to the jury in a way that allows them to really get to know him.
Depp described Heard as “irate” and “possessed” and said he tried to remove himself from the situation, ultimately locking himself into nine bedrooms and bathrooms in the house where he was staying as she pounded on the doors and hurled insults at him. Finally, he said, he heard her walk away. After looking emotionless for her ex’s previous testimony, Heard appeared to be fighting back emotions as she listened to Depp tell his version of their interaction.
Depp’s team also introduced a photo of the actor, which he said was taken after he got a “roundhouse punch” from Heard. The photo, which was shown on camera, shows red marks on Depp’s cheekbone and was taken soon after the couple returned to L.A after surgery on his hand, he said.
