Johnny Depp is a “demon with huge rage”, Amber Heard’s lawyers claim in the continuation of the legal dispute of the famous former couple.
Herd’s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, also claimed that Depp had sexually assaulted Herd using a bottle of alcohol during an episode in which he was drunk.
Depp categorically denies these allegations.
This is the first time Herd has made such allegations publicly.
It is recalled that Johnny Depp, sued his ex-wife for defamation after her move to openly accuse him of abuse, speaking to the Washington Post.
The former couple met on the set of The Rum Diary.
The actor’s lawyers aim to prove that Herd is a “pathological liar” and a “deeply troubled person” who tried to use a “prank” by inventing a story of domestic abuse to raise her profile in Hollywood and advance her career. .
“The only medical report of an injury during their relationship was that of Mr. Depp after an argument shortly after their wedding, while the couple was in Australia,” Depp’s lawyer Camille Vazquez told the court. “He threw a bottle of vodka at him, which hit his hand and dissolved, cutting off the tip of one of his fingers.”
Herd’s lawyers claim that Depp cut his finger in a state of intoxication.
Vazquez confronted the allegations of sexual assault, arguing that Herd invented them to further strengthen her argument when she realized she would have to defend her claims in court.
“Herd had never made this accusation against Depp – it was never part of her abuse allegations in 2016. So what changed? When he realized the seriousness of what he claimed [σχετικά με το ότι ήταν θύμα ενδοοικογενειακής κακοποίησης]”he panicked and claimed sexual assault,” he told jurors. “In Mr. Depp’s fifty-eight years, no woman has ever accused him of violence, and no one in Hollywood or in the world had any reason to believe he was a perpetrator – until Mrs. Herd publicly accused him.”
Depp claims that Herd’s allegations ruined his career. Her lawyers claimed that his career was already in decline, mainly due to the alleged abuse of alcohol and drugs.
