Depp v Heard: The trial so far, in their own words – BBC News

Amber Heard took the stand this week in her defamation trial against Johnny Depp, giving jurors a wildly different account of the pair’s relationship to the one presented by her ex-husband’s team.

Mr Depp, 58, has sued his former partner for $50m (£40m) over an article she wrote in 2018 in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. Giving evidence during the first three weeks of the trial, Mr Depp told jurors he suffered under Ms Heard’s volatile moods and her tendency to bully and abuse him.

But this week, Ms Heard, 36, told a different story, describing instead a controlling and violent Mr Depp, prone to jealous rages and drug binges. She has sued Mr Depp in turn, with a $100m counterclaim.

Both have denied any abuse.
