Heard, 34, is expected to take the stand this week for The Sun. She has accused Depp of repeatedly beating her in drug-induced rages since before they married in 2015Depp has strongly denied all of her accusations, sayingwas the abuser in their brief, volatile relationship. Their marriage, he told Heard several times, was"a crime scene waiting to happen," he testified.
On Friday, more damaging testimony for The Sun: A MeToo activist said in written testimony that she was “misquoted and misused” by the tabloid to smear Depp."I accuse Mr. Depp of hurting Amber Heard, about which I have no first-hand knowledge," said actress Katherine Kendall. Instead, she said, she heard “several times” that Heard was abusive to Depp. Most of what The Sun published in their April 2018 story quoting her, she said, was a"lie.
. Now a British judge gets first crack at deciding who is telling the truth, who is not and whether anyone was libeled under British law.In April 2016, Depp's longtime maid found feces in a bed at their Los Angeles penthouse the morning after Heard’s 30th birthday party when she claims the couple fought and Depp threw a magnum wine bottle at her. He denies that.
Depp rejects this accusation but acknowledged they had a fight which resulted in their rented house being trashed and Depp’s fingertip being severed to the bone. Heard was no drug-free saint, Depp claimed. He said she had “many times” chopped out lines of cocaine for him, before rubbing some of the drug into her gums.
