When the couple traveled, the actor would book an extra hotel room so he would have somewhere to go when Heard became angry. The attorney for Heard said that he cut off his own finger.
During their opening statement, Heard's attorneys said that she wrote for the Washington Post because she was concerned about the safety of her children, and that it was protected by the First Amendment.
Heard testified in the libel case that he physically abused her 14 times. The suit was lost by Depp.
Fans lined up outside the courtroom in Virginia to show their support for the couple. The actors are expected to testify.
Heard took a break from social media while the trial was going on.
She wrote that Johnny was suing her for an op-ed she wrote in the Washington Post, in which she recounted her experience of violence and domestic abuse. Hopefully, when this case is over, I can move on and Johnny can do the same.
The couple met on the set of The Rum Diaries and were married in 2015. Heard obtained a restraining order against Depp after she filed for divorce. She was accused ofalleging abuse to secure a premature financial resolution.
In 2016 they settled the divorce and released a joint statement that said their relationship was always bound by love. There was no intent to hurt anyone. In the future, she wishes the best for Johnny.
