The defamation trial brought by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard is set to head to the jury Friday.
Depp believed Heard was a "nag" for questioning the use of drugs and alcohol, Rottenborn said. "She wants you to believe she was abused countless times over the course of their relationship. "Imagine someone actually thinking that maybe the impact of alcohol and cocaine is ruining their relationship," Rottenborn said. "The lies have grown and metastasized over time," Chew said. These were the words of "America's favorite pirate," Rottenborn said. "That's what he said at the beginning of their relationship." "He expects you to believe him that he didn't have anything to drink on that plane except for maybe on thing of champagne, that's what he expect you to believe," Rottenborn said. "The witnesses Mr. Depp has paraded up here, we're here in person," Rottenborn said. "He blamed everybody in the world: his agent, his manager, his lawyer, Amber, his friends," Bredehoft said. "This was Johnny Depp's best friend of 40 years, until he testified truthfully four years about the drugs and alcohol and [Depp] stopped talking to him." "The exact opposite of this." "Mr. Depp owns his mistake...but in this trial Ms. Heard has been confronted with her lies and the damage she has caused," Vasquez said.
The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial comes to a close Friday after six weeks of testimony.
Vasquez said Heard did not seek medical treatment after this alleged attack, and that the actress was the actual “monster” in that house. Chew admitted that Depp has said he does use drugs and alcohol, and is known for being chronically late to set. That has to change.” He pointed out that the op-ed doesn’t actually describe any of the alleged abusive acts that Heard testified to during the trial. Judge Penney Azcarate said there “appears to be an Amber Alert” and the phones eventually quieted, after which Rottenborn continued. Rottenborn also presented photographs of a seemingly passed out Depp, and various messages from Depp to his friends in which he writes that he needs to stop drinking. The employee testified that they were able to publish the video of Depp destroying the cabinets in 15 minutes, but Rottenborn said Heard was on a flight during that time. He also played audio in which Depp referred to Heard as a “f---ing c---,” and the video Heard shot in which Depp slams cabinet doors, breaking them, and pours a large glass of wine. “It’s not about whether you think Ms. Heard may have been abusive to Mr. Depp.” “We’re asking you to finally hold this man responsible,” Bredehoft said. Amber Heard’s countersuit revolved around several statements to the media characterizing her claims as a hoax. Depp’s attorneys suggest that Heard was abusive to him, rather than the other way around.

“I just want Johnny to leave me alone.” but in this trial Ms. Heard has been confronted with her lies and the damage she has caused,” Vasquez said. “But using bad language and colourful humour does not mean that you are a violent abuser.” “They say no one showed up for her,” Rottenborn said. A timeline for the verdict is not yet known. “She has come too far, she can’t back down,” Vasquez said. Once more, he claimed Depp became a “monster” when under the influence.
