Johnny Depp will face cross-examination by Amber Heard's attorneys Thursday after he spent two days testifying in his defamation lawsuit accusing Heard of.

Heard was granted a protective order in May 2016 after she alleged that Depp hit her in the face with a cellphone. Depp testified that his typical tactic in arguments was to remove himself, often by locking himself in a bathroom. They had not spoken for nearly a month at that point, he said. Depp took the stand for several hours this week detailing his relationship with Heard, accusing her of throwing things at him and verbally abusing him during their marriage. According to Depp’s account, Heard would pick fights and escalate them with demeaning language. “You’re done.”

Johnny Depp's homes - and the penthouse where his ex-wife and ... (Independent Online)

Cape Town - Actor Johnny Depp - in stark contrast to Elon Musk who is house-less - likes his homes big and ostentatious. Story continues below Advertisment.

The 37-acre property has a “complete Provencal village of stone-built houses dating back more than 200 years”. The penthouses also include an art studio. The film star has always had a penchant for eccentric homes. Depp began purchasing his Eastern Columbia units in 2007, eventually buying up an entire wing of the stunning Art Deco building. This is the place where he and Heard allege abuse, where affairs were allegedly carried out, a line or two of cocaine said to have been snorted, even an allegation that someone defecated on their bed and also the spot where Heard’s friends allegedly had easy access to long-term accommodation. He alleges she in fact abused him.

Cross-examination spotlights Depp's profane texts, drug use (The Washington Post)

Amber Heard's lawyer spent Thursday cross-examining Johnny Depp, bringing up his past vulgar texts and drug and alcohol use.

Rottenborn asked repeatedly whether Depp got “blackout” drunk on the flight — he played audio of Depp moaning, sounding like “an animal in pain” — as he had testified to in the U.K. trial, though Depp disagreed with this description now. Rottenborn then showed a picture of Depp “passed out” (the actor called that phrasing “obscene,” saying he was merely asleep) with ice cream all over him. Rottenborn asked whether Depp remembered testifying he had abused alcohol at one point, though Depp disputed that now, saying he didn’t think he was drinking heavily. There was a somewhat tense back-and-forth about the aforementioned flight from Boston to Los Angeles, which has come up several times during the trial. The attorney asked whether Depp remembered Heard’s concerns about his substance use and referenced the 2020 British libel case that Depp lost against the Sun, which called him a “wife beater” in a headline. Depp said Heard gave him the ice cream knowing what would happen and criticized her for taking the photo in the first place, saying it was after 17 hours of filming and he was struggling with an opiate addiction at the time. Depp said in court that he was in shock from his injury and having a “nervous breakdown” when he started writing the words. Depp acknowledged sending a text to Heard’s father around the same time, writing, he “went too far in our fight. Rottenborn also pushed back on Depp’s description of an incident in December 2015, in which Heard alleged he head-butted her; Depp vehemently denied this during his earlier testimony, saying she initiated a physical altercation and that any contact occurred while he was trying to restrain her. I am an insane person.” Depp later confirmed he had also done drugs with rock singer Marilyn Manson. Throughout the day, Rottenborn spotlighted Depp’s drug and alcohol use, which the lawyer has argued was what impacted Depp’s career, not Heard’s allegations. The actor acknowledged that he did not mention Heard in such correspondence but, in at least one instance, framed the omission as a way of getting straight to the point.

Lawyers ask Johnny Depp about texts describing desire to kill ... (The Guardian)

At trial, lawyers read messages actor wrote to Elton John and others, describing alcohol and drug abuse and violent thoughts.

Heard’s lawyers argue that Depp has no credibility when he denies abusing Heard as he often drank and used drugs to the point of blacking out. The court also listened to a recording of Depp moaning during a now infamous flight from Boston to Los Angeles. Depp later texted Bettany to say that he drank “all night before I picked Amber up to fly to LA this past Sunday. Ugly, mate. In several of the messages, Depp used the term “monster” to describe the person he became under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Jurors have also been shown a box in which Depp allegedly kept cocaine and several large bags of marijuana. In that episode, after losing the top of his finger during an argument with Heard in Australia, Heard’s attorney produced texts in which Depp said he had injured it himself. In another exhibit, jurors were shown a photograph of Depp asleep after a 17-hour work day when he was also taking opioids.

(Observers could hear smashing noises in the background but not see what was causing them in the video.) “I did assault a couple of cabinets, but I did not assault Ms. Heard,” Depp said. We’ve had cocaine together maybe a couple of times,” Depp responded plainly. While Depp looked stern at times, he responded to some of the questions with wry one-liners. Heard did not mention Depp’s name, but he sued her in May 2019, claiming he was the clear target of her piece and that her implications had ruined his career. Many of the text messages in question — including those exchanged with Paul Bettany, in which Depp suggested he wanted to “burn” Heard — have been made public, but these missives were new to jurors. Heard had accused Depp of abuse in 2016, and she wrote generally of abuse in a Washington Post op-ed in 2018.

Fifteen months after their marriage it was all over, with Heard filing for divorce and a restraining order, appearing in court in Los Angeles with a bruised cheek and alleging several instances of harassment and physical abuse at the hands of Depp... It’s nasty, uncomfortable to watch, messy and not what anyone asked for. No, it’s not the recently released latest instalment in the Fantastic Beasts franchise — which critics and fans hate so much it’s spurned a call to end all franchise blockbusters — but rather the court case in the US featuring former Fantastic Beasts star Johnny Depp and his former wife Amber Heard.

Experts question the phrase 'mutual abuse' after testimony in Johnny ... (NBC News)

The phrase "mutual abuse," used by a psychologist testifying during the trial involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, is a divisive concept.

"So if they felt betrayed by a parent, for example, and they're now responding to what feels like a betrayal, it's going to come from a very heightened, reactive and abusive standpoint, which can also lead to domestic violence situations." When a victim is caught in a cycle of abuse and affection, they may develop a trauma bond to their abuser, experts say. They have a need for power and control." The phrase is used to describe the exaggerated stress response a person might have after experiencing a traumatic event and may be exhibited as a highly emotionally charged outburst. "I think we find many different ways to make it OK in our heads that somebody can be abusive ... Most of them actively make the choice to be abusive. In a 2021 blog post, Usher wrote that abusers may shift the blame to their victims and accuse them of being the abuser if they react in self-defense. Janie Lacy, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in relationship trauma, said extremely volatile relationships may be described as "mutual abuse," and that in many cases, this dynamic stems from trauma. ... And there's this constant shifting of power and these types of dynamics." Since Anderson's testimony, the phrase "mutual abuse" has become a point of contention in discussions online. In every incident between two people, she said, there's a "primary aggressor." Both Depp and Heard have testified that the other had been physically violent during the course of their relationship. During cross-examination, Anderson clarified that Heard reported to the therapist that she “fought back” after Depp became physical.
