Amber Heard and her team have come out swinging against Johnny Depp and his lawyers after they accused her of “giving the performance of her life” on the stand in the Virginia courtroom.
The 36-year-old actress had her new PR team fire off a blistering statement only hours after she wrapped up her second day of testimony.
In court, Heard told the jury Depp was abusive on multiple occasions and even once penetrated her with a vodka bottle. The court was shown several text messages sent from Depp to Heard where he apologized profusely for his actions.
The actress said she loved Depp and continued to try and help him with his sobriety. She recalled long periods of him being sober followed by months of him being off the wagon.
Heard broke down crying as she talked about a time Depp slapped her across the face on a private plane and then proceeded to kick her in front of his friend.
Depp maintains the abuse never happened and his lawsuit is seeking $50 million in damages. He claimed his ex-wife fabricated the allegations which led to him being blackballed in Hollywood.
