The real-life soap opera that has been broadcast on American TV (and on social media, where it breaks engagement records) is coming to an end – and had one of its most explosive chapters this Thursday (26), in Fairfax court, in Virginia.
At the request of her lawyers, Amber Heard returned to the witness stand to give what appeared to be her final stand: a last deposition, in which she said that she has been “harassed, humiliated and threatened with death” daily since the beginning of the trial. of defamation filed by her ex-husband Johnny Depp on April 12.
His testimony this time came with a greater dramatic charge. The actress cried with sobs (with the right to tears, hitherto unpublished). “They want to kill me and they tell me that every day,” Amber said. “People want to put my baby in the microwave,” she said, mother of a little girl just over a year old, conceived through a surrogate, which is allowed in the United States.
A day before the defenses’ closing arguments, scheduled for this Friday (27), Amber also said that Depp knows how to take advantage of the power he wields over people. “Depp is a very powerful man and people love to flatter powerful men.” More: her ex-husband would have promised to spare no effort to harm her professionally.
“He said he was going to ruin my career,” Heard said as he looked at the panel. “He promised global humiliation,” she continued. At one point, the actress and Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez (now a celebrity) even got into a big mouth.
The atmosphere was also tense among the people who followed the testimony. They began to demonstrate, speaking loudly, which angered Judge Penney Azcarate. She decided to close the case and didn’t want to call any more witnesses after Amber. She ended work early.
This Friday, each side will have two hours to make their closing arguments. What had to be proven, was either proven until this Thursday (26), or it won’t be anymore. The final verdict of the trial that has been attracting all the media spotlight is set to come out next week.
