After the inflammatory testimony of Amber Heard this week, in which the actress claims that her ex-husband Johnny Depp sexually raped her with a bottle and physically abused her during their violent relationship, the two stars attacked each other in the media.

“As Mr Depp’s lawyer rightly predicted in his introductory remarks last month, Mrs Hurd did present the ‘performance of her life’ in her live review,” a 58-year-old Depp spokesman told PEOPLE.
“As Ms. Hurd’s stories continue to grow in new and convenient detail, Mr. Depp’s memories remain exactly the same for the six painful years since her first allegations were made,” Depp’s spokesman continued. “His truth – the truth – is the same, regardless of the environment in which it is presented.”
In response, a spokesman for the 36-year-old Hurd issued a statement to the Toronto Sun, saying “Depp’s defamation lawsuit is falling apart so quickly that his lawyers are turning from prosecutors to prosecutors.”
“They boast that Mr Depp’s story has not changed. If so, because he lost the restraining order on domestic violence and lost the defamation lawsuit in the UK, perhaps he should consider a new strategy rather than a recycled approach to attacking the victim and refusing to take responsibility for his own. behavior.
During his testimony this week, Hurd painted a picture of an alleged controlling and abusive Depp who, known worldwide as one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars, was Dr. Jekyll. Like Hyde, a “monster” behind closed doors.
During a flight from Boston to Los Angeles in 2014, Hurd claimed that Depp kicked her in the back in jealous rage over intimate scenes she shot with actor James Franco.
“No one did anything. “I felt so uncomfortable that he could kick me to the ground and no one would do anything about it,” she said in tears.

Another time, Hurd described Depp’s hysteria when he accused her of flirting with someone at the 2014 New York Gala. In their hotel room after the event, the couple got into a physical altercation.
Johnny pushed me and grabbed my collarbone. I think that’s when I pushed him back. “I remember he threw a bottle at me, missed me, but broke the chandelier,” she said.
“He pushed me on the couch and at one point hit me in the face. I think that was the first time (where I thought): “Is this a broken nose?” I remember my nose was swollen, discolored and red.
Elsewhere in his testimony Thursday, Hurd spoke of allegations that Depp abused her with a bottle of alcohol during an explosive battle in 2015 and threatened to kill me.
“I didn’t know if the bottle I had was broken,” she said. “I could not feel it. I couldn’t feel anything. “

But in a statement from Depp’s spokesman, they say that when Hurd faces questioning by the actor’s legal team, doubts will begin to form about the veracity of her accounts of the events in question.
“The forthcoming cross-examination by Mr Depp’s team will be the most revealing and will certainly highlight the many misconceptions that Mrs Hurd has now tried to convey as a fact in her intricate testimony.”

But Hurd’s legal team swung against Depp, using his own words about the battle with the “monster” inside to explain his alleged abusive behavior.
“If Mr Depp was really innocent, why did he repeatedly apologize to Mrs Hurd and promise to take the ‘monster away forever?'” They wrote in a statement received from the Sun. “One of Mrs Hurd’s disappointments is Mr Depp’s inability to distinguish fact from fiction, a disease that seems to have spread to his legal team. This same team is so panicked that it is fighting tooth and nail to prevent the presentation of convincing evidence and photos.
“It’s a little strange that Mr Depp doesn’t have the courage or the courage to even look at Mrs Hurd during the proceedings – as he could not in the UK trial – and instead he scratches and grins.
As the trial was suspended until May 16, social media users analyzed Hurd’s time at the booth, with some accusing the Aquaman star of copying elements of her testimony from films such as The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Missing Girl.
One viral post circulated included a video of Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, who said: “The thing with Dickie is like the sun shines on you and it’s great. And then he forgets you and it’s very cold. “
In his testimony, Hurd said Depp made her feel “the most beautiful person in the world” at times during their relationship, which began in 2011 before ending in divorce in 2016.
Amber Heard: “When I was around Johnny, I felt like the most beautiful man in the world – then he would disappear.”

Depp is suing Hurd for $ 50 million, claiming that her 2018 Washington Post publication slandered him when he described himself as a survivor of domestic violence. The article never mentions the Pirates of the Caribbean star by name, but Depp claims that the article suggests that he is the rapist and has influenced his acting career. Hurd has filed a $ 100 million counterclaim, arguing that Depp slandered her by calling her a liar.
In 2020, Depp lost a defamation lawsuit against the British Sun after a British tabloid called him a “women’s fighter.” A judge at the London Supreme Court has ruled that he repeatedly attacked Hurd.
The case will be resumed on Monday, May 16.
