She just wants to get this over with and honestly, who can blame her? Amber Heard has reminded jurors that “I am a human being” as she returned to the stand to detail the effects of Johnny Depp’s lawsuit on her life, on the penultimate day of evidence in the trial. The Aquaman star said she had received “thousands” of death threats since proceedings began and the process had been “agonizing, painful and humiliating.” Here’s what you need to know.
In her second round of direct evidence last week, Ms Heard told the court she and her friends now had to live by a “set of rules” to ensure she did not have panic attacks following her “trauma.”
Amber Heard Breaks Down, Tells The Jury She Is ‘Human’ During Johnny Depp Defamation Case
Describing the effect of the trial on her she said: “I am harassed, humiliated, threatened every single day. Even just coming into this courtroom sitting here in front of the world having the worst parts of my life, things that I have lived through, used to humiliate me. People want to kill me, they tell me so… they want to put my baby in the microwave and they tell me that.”
She continued: “I’m not sitting in this courtroom snickering, I’m not sitting in this courtroom laughing. I’m not smiling and making snide jokes. I’m not. This is horrible. This is painful and this is humiliating for any human being to go through. And perhaps it’s easy to forget that, but I am a human being. Even though Johnny promised I deserve this… I do not deserve this. I want to move on.”
Depp has denied he ever struck Heard, and says she was the abuser in the relationship. Heard has testified about more than a dozen separate instances of physical abuse she says she suffered at Depp’s hands.
Depp, a three-time Oscar nominee, and Heard met in 2009 on the set of The Rum Diary and were married in February 2015. Their divorce was finalized two years later.
