Now it’s Amber Heard’s turn. The actress spoke for the first time at the trial she starred in with her ex -husband Johnny Depp in Fairfax, Virginia. A heavy dispute that began on April 11 and led to countless fights and accusations.
In a legal dispute of exclusive cinematographic predecessors, Heard began to defend. Depp accused him of slandering her and he knew it very well. “I’m here because my ex -husband is chasing me,” he first said at the stand.
“I have a hard time finding the words to describe how painful it is. It was horrible for me to sit here for a few weeks and refresh everything. This is the most painful and hardest thing I have ever been through, “he continued before the jury.

Heard continued the conversation about his childhood and what he first met with his ex-wife. And here he agrees with Depp: the couple’s first moments are unique.
“Being with him was like complete magic. It made me feel seen, it made me feel like a million bucks,” Heard said.
The most bitter phrases came immediately after, when the defendant referred to the first day that the actor, according to her, “slapped” her: “I will never forget it, it changed my life.”
That day they were both sitting in an armchair and drinking and laughing. They have a bottle of cocaine nearby. He asked Johnny what the phrase on one of his tattoos meant, and he replied, “Wino.” Heard laughed and without a word Depp slapped him.
“I laughed because I didn’t know what to do. I thought it was a joke, ”Heard explains, saying that he then sat quietly while waiting for Johnny to tell him it was a joke.
But that did not happen. Depp looked at him and said, “Do you think it’s funny? You think that’s funny, bitch? You think you’re a funny bitch. “
“I didn’t move, I was scared, because I didn’t know what to do. Then he slapped me again. It’s hard. I lost my foot on the side of the couch and I wanted him to say he was joking, ”the actress continued, and added,“ He slapped me for no reason, I suppose.

As soon as he slapped her, Amber said Depp grabbed her hand and promised he would never do that again: “I’ll never do that again, I’m so sorry baby … I thought I pushed the monster away.”
“I wanted to say I got up and left the house, but I didn’t. He (Depp) was upset, ”the actress continued, and ended the story about the episode by making sure her ex told her that“ he wanted to cut off his hand ”rather than hurt her.

the trial
After more than ten days of parking by Depp defenders, the actress’ first witness testified on Tuesday. It was about forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes, who accused Johnny of using sexual violence against Amber and refuted the statements of the psychologist who testified in favor of the actor.
Depp and Heard were married from 2012 to 2016. In the middle they got married and soon divorced on bad terms. Their separation became official in 2017.

He, after seeking divorce from the actor in 2016, denounced him for physical and verbal abuse and sought a restraining order against him. In 2018, he reaffirmed it in an article in the Washington Post (without mentioning Johnny) and Depp was furious.
He has always denied, he was also accused of domestic abuse and charged him and the newspaper The Sun with 50 million dollars for defamation. In response, Heard challenged him by 100.
Since the early days of April – not to mention everything said in recent years – the information hasn’t stopped with the release of Fairfax, Virginia, showing the toxicity of the relationship between the artists. And it will continue like this.
