Johnny Depp

Direct examination
edit

In his testimony, Depp said he had "never struck" Heard or any other woman.[1][2] He described his childhood with an abusive mother and said he used drugs as self-medication to cope with his childhood trauma. He denied having been addicted to any substance other than Roxicodone and stated that Heard had "grossly embellished" the extent of his "quote-unquote substance abuse."[3] Depp testified that Heard often insulted him verbally and that as these incidents "continued to escalate" he would remove himself from the situation.[4]

Depp also testified that Heard had sometimes been physically abusive,[5][6] and testified about the specific incidents that Heard had alleged he had been violent.[7] He denied hitting Heard in 2013,[6] and claimed Heard withheld his medication to help treat the withdrawal symptoms of his prescription painkiller addiction while he was detoxing in the Bahamas in 2014.[7] He testified that, during the incident on a private plane flight in 2014, Heard had tried to initiate a fight,[7] but that he locked himself in a bathroom to avoid her and eventually fell asleep in there after taking two painkillers.[6] Audio recordings were played for the jury. In one recording, Heard tells Depp: "I did not punch you. [...] I did not fucking deck you. I fucking was hitting you. [...] You're a fucking baby. [...] Grow the fuck up, Johnny. I did start a physical fight."[8] In another, Depp accuses Heard of throwing pots and pans at him, which she admits to, while in yet another, Depp accuses Heard of kicking a bathroom door into his face, to which Heard says she cannot remember as she was on Ambien at the time.[8] An audio clip was also played of Heard telling Depp to say that "I, Johnny Depp, I’m a victim of domestic abuse ... and see how many people believe or side with you".[9]

Depp testified that the argument in Australia in March 2015 originated after Heard had a conversation with Depp's lawyer about signing a postnuptial agreement. He said he once again locked himself in a bathroom while Heard was "banging on the doors and screaming obscenities and wanting to have a physical altercation."[4] He said he was distraught and relapsed by drinking vodka when he exited the bathroom. Heard then threw two vodka bottles at him, severing a finger on his right hand.[4] He said this had caused him to have a "nervous breakdown" and to hide.[6] He then began writing on the walls with his own blood about "little reminders from our past that essentially represented lies that she had told me — lies that I had caught her in."[7] He said he lied to Australian healthcare professionals about the cause of the injury because he "didn't want to get her in trouble."[6] In December 2015, he stated he had accidentally headbutted Heard while trying to prevent her from attacking him and that Heard had tried to fake breaking her nose with nail polish.[7] He further accused Heard of hitting him in the face during an argument at her birthday party in April 2016,[7] and of leaving human feces on his side of the bed soon after.[6]

Cross-examination
edit

Under cross-examination, Heard's legal team played recordings of Depp.[10] In one recording, Depp tells Heard: "Walking away is necessary [...] especially between you and I. It's of utmost importance. The next move, if I don't walk away [...] it's going to be a bloodbath, like it was on the island."[11] In some of the audio recordings, Depp shouted insults and vulgarities at Heard.[12] In another recording, Heard says she ended their relationship "after you beat the shit out of me", and later on in the same conversation, Depp says he "made a huge mistake", but it was unclear what mistake Depp was referring to, Variety reported.[13] In another recording, Heard tells Depp to put his "cigarettes out on someone else"; Depp testified his belief that Heard "grossly exaggerated."[12][14] In a different recording, Heard tells Depp: "I want couch. By the way, you just threw a fucking cigarette on me." Depp testifies the incident was about Heard "ordering me on the couch", denied putting out a cigarette on her, but acknowledged that he may have flicked cigarette ash at Heard.[15] In a recording from July 2016, after the couple had filed for divorce and after Heard filed for a temporary restraining order, Depp asks Heard, "Where do you want the scar?" (where he should cut himself), and Heard repeatedly asking Depp not to "cut" himself.[16] Depp testified that he "wasn't threatening to hurt myself", but that he was "broken" and "couldn't take it", and that he had asked Heard to "spill my blood because that was the only thing she didn't have at that point."[17]

Depp was also asked about certain text messages he sent.[13] In messages to actor Paul Bettany, Depp made a call to "drown" and "burn Amber," then stated: "I will fuck her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she's dead."[13] Bettany replied: "My thoughts entirely. Let's be certain before we pronounce her a witch."[18] Depp testified that these messages were a reference to a Monty Python skit regarding burning and drowning witches, calling it "irreverent and abstract humour."[13][12] Regarding a message where Depp stated that he had "fucked up and went too far in our fight," Depp denied that this was describing physical violence.[13] In another message regarding a May 2014 flight, Depp states that he took "powders," "pills," and various types of alcohol including "a thousand Red Bull vodkas," becoming "an angry aggro injun in a fucking blackout, screaming obscenities and insulting any fuck who got near," to which Depp testified that he was exaggerating.[13] In text messages to various people, Depp referred to "the monster" — Depp gave various explanations to the term, such as alcohol and drugs. Heard viewed it as referring to his usage of drugs.[13]

Depp was also shown several negative articles about him from 2014 until 2018, which Heard's lawyers allege demonstrate that Depp's reputation had been damaged prior to Heard's 2018 op-ed.[12] He called the articles "hit pieces" and denied knowing that the Daily Mail had reported that he had been fired from the Pirates franchise in October 2018, over a month prior to Heard's op-ed being published.[13]

Witnesses for Depp

Christi Dembrowski, Depp's sister and personal manager, testified how he had been abused by their mother and would hide from her. Dembrowski further testified that she had booked hotel rooms for him when Heard began fights. Dembrowski denied she was concerned about Depp's use of alcohol and drugs; under cross-examination, she said she had been concerned about his use of prescribed pain medication.[19][20] Isaac Baruch, who lived next door to Depp and Heard in one of Depp's penthouses in the Eastern Columbia Building (ECB), testified about an incident Heard told him about in May 2016.[19] He also said that Depp's family had been "completely wrecked" by Heard's claims.[20][21] Brandon Patterson, the general manager of ECB, confirmed the accuracy of approximately 80 CCTV videotapes from the building in his testimony.[21]

Kate James, Heard's former personal assistant, described Heard as "belligerent and abusive," saying Heard frequently screamed at her and sent abusive text messages. She also described Heard's use of drugs, and further testified that Heard had treated her own sister Whitney badly.[22][23][24] Laurel Anderson, Depp and Heard's therapist in 2015, testified that there was "mutual abuse" during the marriage, with both parties initiating violent conflicts.[22][25][23] She further testified that both Depp and Heard had been beaten by a parent as children, characterizing Depp as "well-controlled" over decades and not violent against previous partners, but that he was "triggered" when with Heard.[25] Anderson stated she had seen bruises on Heard in person and in photographs.[25][23]

David Kipper, Depp's private physician, testified he had diagnosed Depp with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, insomnia, substance dependence, and chronic reflux.[26] Kipper stated he had attempted to to treat Depp's addictions to alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and cocaine during the marriage.[22] Kipper additionally recalled his visit to Depp's rented property in Australia after the incident in which Depp's finger had been severed.[26][27] Debbie Lloyd, who worked with Kipper as a nurse, testified the relationship was "toxic" and that Heard would instigate arguments with Depp.[26][1] She also described how she attended Depp's rented house in Australia in 2015 after his finger injury.[26]

Keenan Wyatt, Depp's on-set audio technician since the 1990s, testified he had never witnessed Depp being abusive.[1] He further described an incident on board a private plane flight during which Heard alleged Depp was abusive towards her.[2] Sean Bett, Depp's security guard, testified that he had never seen Depp or Heard be violent towards each other, but that their relationship eventually descended to "constant arguing and bickering." Bett also presented to the court photographs he had taken in March and December 2015 of Depp's injuries.[28]

Ben King, Depp's former house manager, testified about the aftermath of an incident at the couple's rented house in Australia in March 2015.[29][30] Tara Roberts, who had managed Depp's private island in the Bahamas at the time of the relationship, testified witnessing an altercation between the couple.[31][32] She further testified that she had arranged for Heard to leave the island with Depp's children after another incident, and that on another occasion Depp had passed out in front on his son.[33]

Two police officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, who had responded to a May 2016 incident between the couple, testified that Heard had been uncooperative and that her face was "red" from crying.[34] They had left after concluding that no crime had taken place. Christian Carino, who had previously been both Depp and Heard's agent, testified that he believed that Heard's allegations were a deciding factor in Disney dropping Depp from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.[35][36] Alejandro Romero, who was a doorman at the ECB, testified that Heard had once called him to check on a possible intruder; he also said he did not want to deal with the case anymore.[37]

Terrence Dougherty, ACLU's chief operating officer, testified as to the organization's involvement in conceiving and drafting the 2018 Washington Post op-ed that was credited to Heard.[38] He also testified about the $1.3m in donations that ACLU had so far received from Heard or in her name before informing them about having financial difficulties in 2019. Depp's accountant Edward White testified that Heard had initially asked for $4 million in the divorce, but had then increased the amount.[39][40]

Three of Depp's security guards also testified. Malcolm Connelly testified that Heard "wanted to wear the pants in the relationship" and that he had seen her throw items at Depp.[41] He alleged seeing scratches and bruises on Depp. Connelly also testified about Depp's use of marijuana and cocaine.[39] Starling Jenkins III testified that Heard had told him that the feces left in her and Depp's bed was a "horrible practical joke gone wrong."[42] Travis McGivern testified that he had witnessed Heard verbally insult Depp and was present during the incident between the couple in March 2015, during which Heard alleges both she and Depp were violent towards each other.[43][44]

Jack Whigham, Depp's agent since October 2016, testified that Heard's op-ed had a "catastrophic" impact on Depp's career and resulted in lost revenue, including a potential $22.5 million that he would have received from acting in another Pirates of the Caribbean film.[45] Erin Falati, Heard's nurse during the relationship, testified that Heard had occasionally told her about problems with jealousy and insecurity,[46] and stated that there was "a general sense of discord in the relationship".[47]

Expert witnesses for Depp

edit

Shannon Curry, a forensic psychologist hired by Depp's team to evaluate Heard, provided evidence against Heard's claim that she had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stemming from the relationship, instead suggesting a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and histrionic personality disorder (HPD).[32][31] Curry said she based this on her analysis of medical and legal documents and two in-person meetings with Heard in December 2021, during which she conducted psychiatric testing.[33] Heard's lawyer argued that Depp's lawyers had stated in their designation documents that Curry would diagnose Heard with BPD and testify that she made false allegations of abuse months before Curry had made the evaluation; Curry denied that the documents represented her opinions.[48] Curry acknowledged that none of Heard's previous therapists had diagnosed her with a personality disorder, and said that she had not previously testified in cases related to intimate partner violence.

Depp also called three expert witnesses related to the effects of the op-ed on his career. Richard Marks, an entertainment lawyer, testified that Heard's op-ed was "devastating" for Depp's career, as it was "the type of MeToo claim that has cancelled a list of actors."[49] Douglas Bania, an intellectual property expert, provided testimony regarding Depp's reputation since Heard's 2016 allegations, stating that search results for Depp had become much more negative.[45] Michael Spindler, an economic damages expert, testified that in the two years after the publication of Heard's op-ed, Depp "suffered lost earnings of approximately $40 million" due to Disney declining to cast him in Pirates 6 and for lost opportunities in non-franchise films.[50]

Depp and his attorneys rested their case later on May 3, 2022, after 13 days of testimony.[47]

Witness testimony for Heard

edit

Amber Heard

edit
Direct testimony
edit

Heard testified that the abuse began in 2012 with insults and controlling behavior from Depp, and first escalated to violence in 2013, when she alleges that Depp hit her.[51][52] She testified that Depp was deeply jealous, did not want her to work, and that their relationship became "a never-ending fight".[53][51][54] She described Depp being especially prone to rage when drunk or high, and that he often disappeared after a fight.[53][51] She testified that when he sobered up he returned to being a "warm, generous, kind" man and that she did not leave because she believed that Depp would eventually overcome his addictions.[53][51] The jury was shown multiple images of Heard with cuts and bruises that were allegedly a result of the abuse and which she testified she would hide with make-up.[55][56] Audio recordings and a video were also presented.[57]

Heard testified about several assaults in 2013-2016. She said that on a weekend trip in May 2013, Depp sexually assaulted her during a fight.[58][a] On a private plane flight in 2014, Heard alleged that Depp accused her of infidelity and kicked her.[58][59] Heard testified that no one on board intervened, and Depp soon passed out in the plane's toilet.[59] The jury was shown a text message in which Depp states that he "will never do it again" and blamed his "illness," as well as a tape recording of Depp howling during the flight.[55] Heard also claimed that Depp slammed her against a wall and threatened to kill her after she comforted his daughter, who was distressed by his drinking during a visit to his island.[58][53] She also described Depp dangling her dog out of the window of a moving car.[52] Heard further testified that in May 2014, Depp shoved her on a sofa and hit her on her face, causing her to suspect that her nose was broken. When she accompanied Depp to his private island, where he was to undergo detox, she testified that "he slapped me across the face." Heard testified that she began attending Al-Anon in 2014.[59]

Heard testified that when they were married in early 2015, she had asked her lawyer to draw up a pre-nuptial agreement but that Depp had stated that "the only way out of this is death", and had fired the lawyer.[59][54][56] Heard testified that in March 2015 in Australia, where he was filming the fifth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, Depp ingested ten tablets of MDMA and accused her of having affairs with her co-stars.[60][59][55] Depp then threw bottles at her and hit her multiple times, before holding her by the neck and raping her with a glass liquor bottle "over and over again" while shouting "I fucking hate you, you ruined my fucking life."[55][59][61] She described cutting her arms and feet on the broken glass on the ground and that Depp had threatened to cut her face with a piece of glass, while holding it against her face.[61] She denied injuring Depp's finger or seeing the injury happen.[59] The court was shown photographs of the damage to the house.[56]

Testifying about a later March 2015 incident, Heard contradicted Travis McGivern's statement that she had thrown a Red Bull can at Depp, instead stating that Depp had thrown the can at her sister Whitney, who was trying to intervene.[59] Heard testified that she had punched Depp after he had tried to hit her sister. Heard said that during their honeymoon aboard the Orient Express in 2015, Depp hit and strangled her. In another instance, Heard testified that Depp had hit her and thrown her into furniture after learning that she had been offered a role with James Franco. She also stated that Depp sometimes self-harmed: "In fights he often would cut his arms or hold his knife to his chest or draw blood, superficially at first [...] He also put cigarettes out on himself."[62] Heard alleged a further assault in December 2015, a day before her appearance on the The Late Late Show with James Corden. She said that Depp was "pummeling her" and "pounding the back of my head with his fist" while screaming that he hated her. She testified fearing that Depp might accidentally kill her. She also accused Depp of sexually assaulting her that Christmas.[56]

According to Heard's testimony, by early 2016, Depp's substance abuse had escalated and he began to experience hallucinations of people who were not there and accuse Heard of saying things she had not.[63][64][57] She testified that the violence was "now normal and not the exception" and feared that she would die if she did not leave.[63] She testified that on her birthday in April 2016, she and Depp had a fight where they shoved each other before Depp threw a bottle on a painting, "pushed me to the ground" and "grabbed me by the pubic area" before leaving.[65] She denied that she had left feces in Depp's bed, instead stating that it was caused by their dog who had bowel control problems.[57] She claimed that Depp was obsessed with the idea that she was the culprit, and that it was what they had been discussing in May 2016, when she alleges the last violent incident took place.[64][57] She testified that Depp hit her, threw her phone at her face and grabbed her by the hair before her friend Raquel Pennington and Depp's security team intervened.[57] Heard explained that she did not cooperate with the police officers who were called because she wanted to protect Depp and did not want the abuse to become public.[63][64] Photos were shown to jurors, which appeared to show red marks and swelling on Heard's face;[64][63] the jury was also shown a text message from Depp where he appeared to apologize for the incident.[57]

Heard testified that she filed for a temporary restraining order to change the locks to her home so that Depp would not be able to access it.[63][57] She explained in detail how she would use make-up and ice to her bruises and other injuries to hide them; she also stated that she always wears make-up when out in public.[63][64][65] Heard said she did not want Depp's money in the divorce and that under California law she would have been entitled to half of the $65 million Depp had earned during the marriage.[66][67] She said that she had pledged to donate the $7 million divorce settlement in installments, but that she had to stop paying them in 2019 due to Depp suing her, stating that she has had to spend more than $6 million in legal fees.[57]

Heard testified that since the abuse claims became public, she had lost out on roles and had to fight to stay in Aquaman (2018).[63] She denied that the op-ed was about Depp, but about her experiences after she filed for divorce.[63][64] Heard further testified that after Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, made claims in 2020 about her abusing Depp, her L'Oréal contract was halted and her promotional work for The Stand was canceled. She also stated that her scenes in Aquaman 2, which is to be released in 2023, have been significantly reduced and that she has worked in only one other film since Waldman's accusations.[57][63][67]

Cross-examination
edit

Under cross-examination, Depp's lawyer questioned Heard about the lack of visible injuries in many photographs taken of her during the time she alleged that she had been abused.[57][68][62] Heard said this was because she had put on make-up and used ice to reduce the swelling.[57][64][62] Heard further stated that she did not seek medical care after many of the instances because she was embarrassed, but stated that she had spoken with her therapist.[62]

When asked about why she had not completed her donation yet despite claiming so publicly and having the money months before being sued by Depp, Heard maintained that she intends to after she is no longer being sued, and that she had used "donate" and "pledge" synonymously.[68][57][64] Depp's lawyer argued that Heard was not afraid of Depp because of things she said to him on audio and in love notes to him; Heard replied that "This is a man who tried to kill me [...] Of course it's scary. He's also my husband."[67] The jury was also shown a knife that Heard had gifted to Depp in 2012 as alleged evidence that she was not afraid of him.[66] Heard testified that she had given the knife during "the best of times" in their relationship when Depp had been sober and that she had therefore not been afraid.[66] She denied ever assaulting Depp, but testified that she sometimes had to physically defend herself.[67] She also stated that both she and Depp would verbally insult each other.[67][66] Depp's lawyer alleged that Heard had altered the photographs of her injuries from the May 2016 incident by changing the contrast; Heard denied this, saying that the change in light between two of them had to do with the light in the room where they were taken being turned on.[66]

Other witnesses

edit

iO Tillett Wright, Heard and Depp's former friend, testified that Heard had told him about Depp being abusive and that Depp had told him about his substance abuse and jealousy in his previous relationships.[69] He had been on the phone with Heard in May 2016 when he had heard a bang and Heard screaming, with Depp shouting in the background.[70] Wright said that he hung up and called Heard's neighbor Raquel Pennington and then 911.[69] Raquel Pennington, Heard's former friend who had lived as the couple's neighbor in one of Depp's ECB penthouses, testified that she saw injuries on Heard on multiple occasions, and that Heard had to use make-up to cover them.[71] Pennington testified that she had seen the cuts to Heard's feet following the incident in Australia and that she had taken images of injuries to Heard's face and scalp after the incident in December 2015. She said that in May 2016, she intervened in their fight.[72] Joshua Drew, who was Pennington's fiancé at the time, testified that in the aftermath of the May 2016 incident, Depp smashed a bottle against the door to their apartment and burst in, approaching Drew in an "aggressive" way, "screaming, cursing, spitting in my face."[73] Elizabeth Marz, an acquaintance of Heard, also testified about the May 2016 incident, stating that Depp appeared intoxicated and had frightened her.[74]

Whitney Henriquez, Heard's younger sister, stated that she had witnessed a physical altercation between Depp and Heard in March 2015, after which she had been asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement. She also recalled other incidents between Depp and Heard.[75] Melanie Inglessis, Heard's former make-up artist and friend, described how she had used make-up to hide Heard's injuries in December 2015 before her appearance at The Late Late Show with James Corden.[72][74] Kristina Sexton, Heard's former acting coach, testified that Depp was critical and demeaning of Heard's career choices, and that the couple's relationship had become increasingly filled with tension towards its end; she also testified about witnessing the damage to the couple's trailer on a weekend trip in 2013.[74][76]

Bruce Witkin, Depp's longtime friend, testified that Depp had irrational jealousy in his relationships with women, including with Vanessa Paradis and Heard. He said that he and most other people around Depp, including his sister Christi, had been worried about his substance abuse, but that Depp's employees generally did not dare to address the issue.[77] Tracey Jacobs, a UTA agent who represented Depp from the 1990s until 2016, testified that in the last ten years that she was his agent, she found it increasingly difficult to negotiate roles for him as he had gained a reputation for being late on film sets and for substance abuse.[78] She had referred Depp to David Kipper for substance abuse treatment.[79] Jacobs said that Depp had problems with anger, but that she had not personally witnessed him be violent towards a woman.[78][79] Joel Mandel, Depp's former business manager, testified that Depp had significant problems with overspending and substance abuse.[77]

Ellen Barkin, who had a brief sexual relationship with Depp in the 1990s, testified that Depp was a "jealous" and "controlling" man and that he was for most of the time either drunk or high.[78] She also described him throwing a bottle at her during a fight. Michele Mulroney, Heard's former lawyer, testified that Heard had asked her to draw up a prenuptial agreement before the couple got married, but that this agreement was never signed as Depp phoned her, insulting her and firing her on Heard's behalf.[78] Tina Newman, a production executive representing Disney, testified that she and other executives had discussed Depp's reputation and the negative coverage of his personal life and behavior on the set of the fifth Pirates film in early 2018.[78] She denied that Heard's op-ed had any effect on Depp not being hired for a sixth installment of Pirates.

Adam Waldman, Depp's lawyer, testified that he had given the Daily Mail two audio recordings regarding the case and that he had communicated about the case with "internet journalists" such as ThatUmbrellaGuy. He otherwise answered few questions, citing attorney-client privilege.[80] Jessica Kovacevic, Heard's former agent, testified that Heard's career was negatively affected after Depp sued her in early 2019 and that his lawyer, Adam Waldman, had contributed to this by accusing her of abuse and generating a hoax.[78][81] Alan Blaustein, Depp's former psychiatrist, recalled his problems with rage and jealousy in relationships, including with Heard, as well as his drug and alcohol use problems.[82]

Expert witnesses for Heard

edit

Board-certified forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes, who had been hired by Heard's legal team, testified that she had diagnosed Heard with PTSD that was caused by the relationship, and that Heard's account of the abuse was consistent with research on intimate partner violence.[83][84][85][86][87] Hughes criticised the methodology used by plaintiff witness Shannon Curry, and said that Heard did not have borderline personality disorder or histrionic personality disorder as Curry had claimed.[87][85][88] Hughes evaluated Heard for a total of 29 hours in 2019 and 2021, conducted psychological tests on her, interviewed Heard's therapists and her mother, reviewed all case records, and Heard's medical records.[89] She further stated that two of Heard's therapists had feared for her welfare after she had told them of the abuse.[85][87] Hughes, an expert in traumatic stress, violence, and abuse, also described the typical patterns in abusive relationships and how victims usually attempt to keep up an "appearance of normalcy".[85] She stated that it was not unusual for women who are abused to act violently in self-defense.[85] Hughes testified that Heard admitted to hitting Depp "a number of times, in a number of instances,"[86] as well as shoving, pushing, and insulting him.[83] She argued that this was not comparable to the abuse Heard claimed to have suffered,[85][83] and that establishing a full picture of the dynamics of the relationship is key to evaluating domestic abuse.[90]

Ron Schnell, an expert witness on social media data analysis, stated that over 2 million negative tweets about Heard were sent between April 2020 and January 2021, with one in four making reference to statements by Waldman.[91] Orthopedic surgeon Richard Moore testified that Depp's version of how he injured his finger was "not consistent" with the type of injury he had.[92] Psychiatrist David Spiegel testified that Depp's behavior "correlates" with risk factors for intimate partner violence, including substance use disorder.[93] Entertainment analyst Kathryn Arnold testified that according to her analysis, Heard could have earned up to $50 million in the years following the success of Aquaman (2018) had it not been for Waldman's claims and the alleged smear campaign against her. [94]

On May 24, Heard's lawyers rested their defense, following eight days of testimony.[95]

Depp's rebuttal witnesses

edit

Walter Hamada, the president of DC Films, testified that Heard's role in the Aquaman sequel was not imperiled due to Waldman's claims, but due to chemistry issues, and that the sequel was been planned from the beginning to focus more on other characters.[96] Morgan Night, the owner of a trailer park in where Depp and Heard spent a night in May 2013, testified that he witnessed Heard yell at Depp and contradicted the claim that their trailer had been "completely torn apart".[97] Night became a witness for Depp after responding to a tweet by pro-Depp Twitter account "That Umbrella Guy"; although joining Depp's witnesses after the beginning of the trial, he was allowed to testify because he had "been keeping off the Internet".[98]

David A. Kulber, the surgeon who reconstructed Depp's finger in March 2015, testified he bandaged Depp's hand in a "bulky" plaster cast, which would have made it difficult for Depp to grab anyone or form a fist.[98][99] Richard Marks testified against Arnold's testimony, calling her inexperienced at negotiating contracts for actors, and that her estimation of what Heard could have earned after the success of Aquaman was inflated and inaccurate.[98][100] During cross-examination, Marks testified he could not name an actress who had not been hired for another studio film after starring in one.[98] Michael Spindler was recalled, and criticized Arnold's use of mixed methodology to estimate Heard's alleged lost earnings.[98]

Douglas Bania said his analysis found that 35% of the total use of the "Justice for Johnny" and "Amber Turd" hashtags on social media occurred prior to the publication of Adam Waldman's statement.[101] He additionally testified that the actors whose career trajectories Arnold had compared Heard's with were not good comparisons, citing higher Q scores and social media followings.[98] Psychiatrist Richard Shaw testified that Heard's witness David Spiegel had violated the Goldwater rule, which says psychiatrists should not render public opinion about the mental state of public figures they have not personally examined.[98]

Jennifer Howell, the founder of The Art of Elysium and former friend of Heard's sister Whitney, testified about emails she had sent to Whitney.[97] Heard had previously testified she had donated $250,000 the organization, but Howell testified that they had only received an anonymous donation of $250,000 they believed was from Elon Musk.[102] Candie Davidson-Goldbronn, a representative of the CHLA, to which Heard had pledged half of her divorce settlement, testified that they had so far received $250,000 directly from Heard and a $100,000 payment made by Depp on Heard's behalf as part of her divorce settlement.[102]

Morgan Tremaine, a former employee of celebrity website TMZ, testified that the website had been tipped off that Heard would appear at a Los Angeles courthouse in May 2016 and in a law office in August 2016. Tremaine also testified that TMZ published a video of Depp slamming doors and throwing a bottle about 15 minutes after Tremaine received it, which he believes indicates that the website had also received copyright to it.[103] Kate Moss, who was in a relationship with Depp in the 1990s, gave a brief deposition in response to Heard's testimony comment "I instantly think of Kate Moss and the stairs, and I swung at him". Moss testified that Depp had "never pushed, kicked or thrown" her down any stairs, but that she had been helped by Depp after slipping on some stairs[104][105]

Bryan Neumeister, a digital forensics expert, testified that "there's no way for any forensic expert to validate any of these photos" of Heard's alleged injuries at the hands of Depp, as the photos were not the originals.[106] Neumeister further said that EXIF data listed "Software: Photos 3.0" for the operating system, which indicated that the photos were "rendered and composited together in an editing program".[106]

Heard's rebuttal

edit

On May 26, Heard told jurors that she was suffering "minute-by-minute" harassment, including death threats, and daily trauma that required her friends to follow special "rules" when approaching her to prevent anxiety attacks.[107]

When Vasquez asked Heard if witnesses were lying in their testimony to benefit Depp, Heard said that "many people will come out and say whatever for [Depp]. That's his power ... That's why I wrote the op-ed — I was speaking to that phenomenon. How many people will come out in support of him and will fall to his power ... people love currying favor for powerful men."[108]
