Amber Heard denies hitting Johnny Depp and snaps a photo
Written byTimes Magazine
Attorney Johnny Depp accused Amber Heard of using drugs, hitting her, and manipulating photos that she used to prove her alleged abuse.
Ms. Hurd, 38, was questioned over her claims that Depp could be violent while consuming alcohol also drugs.
Depp's lawyers questioned Hurd about his version of events in a long-running dispute between former spouses in 2015, which took place in Australia.
This argument was made several times during the trial.
Mr. Depp claims his ex-wife cut off his fingertips by throwing them away with a bottle of vodka. Ms. Hurd told the jury that Depp sexually assaulted her with a bottle.
On Tuesday, Mr. Depp's lawyers in court questioned why Ms. Hurd did not seek medical attention despite claiming she suffered cuts also bruises during the chaotic fight.
"You're the one who attacked someone with a bottle in Australia, weren't you, Mrs. Hurd," said lawyer Camille Vazquez.
In response, Ms. Hurd said she "never attacked Johnny."
But he admitted he had hit Mr. Depp in several cases he said occurred after "years of not fighting back." On Monday, he made a same statement saying he "reactively" hit him during a physical altercation.
The jury was also shown excerpts from the diary - which Hurd describes as a "love note" - in which he appears to have apologized to Depp.
"Sorry, I can go crazy. Sorry, I hurt you," he wrote. "I get angry when I get hurt."
Ms. Hurd explained the entry: "It's important to apologize if you try to get into a fight later."
The jury also heard an audio recording in which Ms. Hurd was able to tell her husband that "she was furious about losing him" and that she could not promise "it would not physically happen."
Vazquez also questioned the authenticity of the May 2016 photo, which Hurd said showed the aftermath of Depp's alleged physical abuse.
