Model Kate Moss called into the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial on Wednesday, May 25th via a video link. Depps’ lawyers were seen fist-pumping a few weeks ago when Heard, 36, brought up Moss during her testimony. So why was this moment so important?
Legal experts have explained that Heard mentioning Moss on the stand could give Depp’s team a chance to dispel a rumor that he once pushed the model down a flight of stairs when the two dated back in the 1990s. This would be a great defense moment for Depp’s team by having an eyewitness who could dispel first-hand the account that Depp was ever abusive.
Kate Moss To Testify Via Video Wednesday In Johnny Depp V. Amber Heard Trial
Depp and Moss were in a relationship from 1994-1997 and according to sources, have always been supportive.
On May 5th, Heard brought up Moss while recounting a fight in 2015 in which she punched Depp in the face out of fear he was going to shove her push her sister down a staircase. She said she ‘instantly’ though about ‘Kate Moss and the stairs’, which excited Depp’s legal team as they could bring Moss in to clarify that the event never occurred.
Moss was not originally expected to testify because the ‘staircase incident’ wasn’t related, but Heard’s mention paved the way for Depp’s team to call her in.
Describing the same fight involving her sister, Heard told the British court at the time: “I remembered information I had heard [that] he pushed a former girlfriend — I believe it was Kate Moss — down the stairs. I had heard this rumor from two people and it was fresh in my mind.”
This will prove to be a huge blow to Heard’s defense team and Depp will look much more innocent in the wake of Moss’s testimony.
