“You hit someone with a bottle in Australia, didn’t you Mrs. Heard? ” Vasquez asked.
“I didn’t hurt Johnny in Australia. I never hurt JohnnyHear replied.

“You were wrong there, weren’t you Mrs. Heard? ” Vasquez asked.
“I’m not talking about that,” Heard replied.

“I want to be sober for Amber”Said Tillett Wright. “I didn’t enjoy being sober, it wasn’t fun, and that was nerve-wracking and exhausting and very difficult to achieve. I really, really resented having to be sober.”
Tillett Wright said that Depp’s personality became rude and paranoid when he used drugs or alcohol.
There were also statements about Heard’s $ 100 million counterclaim against Depp. The actress said Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman insulted her when she said that Heard’s accusations are fictitious.
Amber Heard said those allegations affected her career, but Vasquez pointed to a series of negative articles about Heard that led to Waldman’s comments.
The jury also heard an audio recording of the verbal fight between the two actors in which each made insulting comments about his career. Heard laughed teasingly at Depp’s breakout role on the 1980s TV show 21 Jump Street.
“Hey! And at least I didn’t do a teen show where I was a heartthrob. God, it seems embarrassing,” Amber Heard said.
Johnny Depp responded with a derogatory comment about Heard’s most popular role to date, shouting íAquaman! in a sarcastic way to discredit the superhero movie.
Amber Heard said she was hurt when lawyer Vasquez indicated she only got the part Aquaman with the help of Depp.
“Excuse me?” Said Heard. “No, Mrs. Vasquez, I got the part myself by auditioning.”
