“That’s absolutely disgusting,” the actress said. “I cannot fathom what adult would do such a thing.”
LONDON — Amber Heard denied Tuesday that she fabricated injuries to show that her then-husband Johnny Depp had been violent toward her as she took to the witness box for her second day of evidence in Depp’s libel case against a British tabloid over allegations of domestic violence.
Heard, 34, denied the allegation she was making things up and said she wears makeup when leaving home that could have camouflaged any injury.Laws also questioned Heard about text messages she sent Depp in the days after the alleged incident and about why she hadn’t filed a restraining order in its immediate aftermath.
The court is examining Depp’s libel suit against The Sun newspaper over an April 2018 article that labelled him a “wife beater” for allegedly abusing Heard. Depp is suing The Sun’s publisher, News Group Newspapers, and the paper’s executive editor, Dan Wootton, over the article. The Hollywood star strongly denies abusing Heard and was at the court to hear his ex-wife.
In the first nine days of testimony at the High Court, judge Andrew Nicol heard from Depp and from several current or former employees who have backed his version of events. In his testimony, Depp said he was the one being abused by Heard and that she had a history of being violent against him. She said the first time she struck Depp was in March 2015 but that she only did so to defend her sister, Whitney, for fear that he would throw her down the stairs as she alleged he had done to model Kate Moss when they dated back in the 1990s. Depp’s counsel wondered why Heard had not mentioned the Moss allegation in her deposition.
