Johnny Depp's testimony to Amber Heard: Too good to be true

Actor Johnny Depp gave his version of the court in Virginia at the upcoming trial session against former husband Amber Heard. In his testimony nearly three hours, which will continue today, Depp spoke in detail on Amber Heard's accusations of domestic abuse, history of substance abuse and their relationship.

My aim is the truth,” said Depp at the beginning of the word. Depp admitted that he and Heard had debates during their relationship, but said: “I myself have never reached the point of striking Mrs. Heard in no way and have ever hit a woman in my life”.

The actor also spoke of the parents ' troubled relationship and the verbal and physical abuse he, his brother and sister experienced from their mother. Depp also claimed that his first experience with substances occurred when he was approximately 11 years old and took the pills of his mother “to save the chaotic nature of what we were living in”.

Depp claims that Heard's writing brought financial losses for him, including exclusion from future films “Pirates of the Caribbean”. In 2018, for the Washington Post, Amber wrote an article describing itself as a <x2-figure public figure representing family abuse”. Depp says that the article "who does not mention him by name " is a slanderer and damaged his career. He denies any abuse.

One day you're Cinderella, as it were, and after a few seconds you're Quasimodo,” said Depp about how his career turned after being charged with abuse. I didn't deserve this, nor did my children, nor the people who believed in me all these years. ”

“It was very good to be true”

The trial began last week, and Depp said Tuesday that the testimony was the first “option given to him to speak fully about the issue. ”

Depp and Amber were recognised in the shoots of the “The Rum Diary” in 2009, married in 2015 and engaged in a highly controversial division, where both sides accused each other of misbehavior.

On the testimony, Depp spoke of starting the relationship with Amber, saying that “from what I remember, from what I remember, it was very good to be true”.

She was attentive, she was loving, smart, kind, funny, understanding. We had a lot in common. Depp said Amber was a wonderful “” for some time between a year and a half. He also described approaching her family.

Then things began to change or things started to be discovered, rather than say,” he added.
The couple officially divorced in August 2016, publishing a joint statement that said in part, our “Marriage was very passionate and sometimes unstable, but always united by love”.

Heard has not succeeded in her efforts to bring down Depp's indictment. It raised a countersuit, worth $100 million for slander in 2020, which is under way.

Late last year, Depp lost the U.K. trial against News Group Newspapers and Dan Wootton, executive editor of The Sun, for an article claiming that Depp was violent against Heard when they were together. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled in favor of the publisher. During the trial, Depp said the painted claims that he was violent against Amber were “completely false”.

The judges have heard evidence presented by the former famous former therapist, who described how Depp and Heard were involved in “concilative therapies”.

The therapist described an unstable dynamic between them, where both threatened to leave the hearings after the debates. According to psychotherapist, in more than one instance, Amber Heard began violent interactions as in an attempt to prevent Johnny Depp from leaving the hearings.

According to the therapist, Johnny Depp was the highly controlled “” for decades before he met Amber Heard and was not involved in violence with previous partners. “With Heard, he got involved. They got involved in what I see as mutual abuse,” she said.

On Monday, a nurse who was hired to deal with Depp's addiction to drugs and attended the couple's wedding testified that she witnessed cases when Amber Heard “tried to stir up conflict” with the former husband on several occasions. She sometimes started fighting as he received medical treatment, said nurse Debbie Lloyd.

On Tuesday, Keenan Wyatt, who has worked with Depp in almost all of his films since the 1990s, testified that he had never seen the actor physically or physically rape his two children or their mother (Vanessa Paradis).

Kate James, Amber Heard's former personal assistant, proved that Heard “thought he had the right to scream in my face” when James demanded a raise in my salary. She claimed that Heard took prescription stimulants, sometimes she looked drunk.

According to Kate, Amber Heard often featured a manic “pisode, similar to those when someone took some kind of amphetamine drug. It was fast, it was meaningless. She said that Heard also became “abuse” and called her over the phone and sent her offensive messages at any time of the day. I was just someone to attack. ”
