Judgment Johnny Depp x Amber Heard: Actor arrives smiling at court and greets fans

Actor Johnny Depp, 58, arrived in court smiling and greeted fans before heading to the final day of the trial with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, 36. The hearing began at around 9:50 am and is expected to present the closing remarks of the court. process that lasts for 47 days.

The trial focuses on a lawsuit the actor brought against Heard, who wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post in 2018, saying she had become a “public figure representing domestic abuse”.

Depp began the trial in March 2019, and claimed that Heard’s accusations were an “elaborate hoax” to enhance his public persona. All proceedings were televised on American TV since April 11.

In more than six weeks of trial, the defenses of the two actors exposed accusations from both sides in a court in Virginia, in the United States. In court, Depp said an altercation with his ex-wife left him with a severed fingertip during a trip to Australia to film “Pirates of the Caribbean” in 2015.

According to him, she threw two bottles of vodka at him and one of them caused the injury. “I was looking at my bones coming out,” said Depp, who showed photos of the severed finger to the jury. Heard denied the assault.

In another statement, Depp reported that his ex-wife or a friend of hers defecated in his bed, which led to the actor filing for divorce. “I thought it was a bizarre and strangely appropriate end to the relationship,” the actor said. Heard took responsibility and said that the poop was a joke.

On another occasion, Depp couldn’t stop laughing in court at the response of his bodyguard, Malcolm Connolly, to the question asked by Heard’s lawyer about him having seen the actor urinating in the lobby of the house the couple had rented in Australia, also in 2015.

Depp’s defense also accused Heard of falsifying photos to make the Justice believe that she was assaulted. To prove the accusation, lawyer Camille Vasquez hired a metadata specialist who presented a report indicating that Heard had increased the saturation of the images.

One of Heard’s most shocking accounts was the one describing Depp intimately searching her thinking she had hidden the cocaine from him. According to her, the actor would have ripped her dress and lingerie and used his fingers to look for the drug. “I just stood there, standing there,” said the crying actress.

The actress also reported numerous allegations of physical and sexual violence by the protagonist of “Pirates of the Caribbean”. The charges include being “hanged” with a shirt by her ex-husband on their honeymoon and assaulted on a plane after Depp accused her of having an affair with actor James Franco, 44.

Another striking accusation made by Heard was that her ex-husband raped her using a bottle of liquor, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Heard described how her ex-husband pinned her against the wall, ripped off her nightgown and began the abuse. “I’ve never been so scared in my life. I couldn’t breathe.”
