During the first day of the trial in which the actor sued the actress for defamation, accusations never before heard by Heard came to light.

In the divorce lawsuit, the actress accused Depp of having used domestic violence against her person, which has led them to face each other in court on more than one occasion. Last year, the actor lost one of his legal battles against the British newspaper The Sun, which had called him a “wife beater”.

On Tuesday, a new judicial instance began between the former couple, where Depp sued Heard for defamation for 50 million dollars , after she published an article in The Washington Post in 2018 , in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic violence after her death. marriage to the actor.

Depp ‘s lawyers maintain that the accusations made by Heard are false and that they have destroyed his career. Meanwhile, the actress’s legal team ensures that her statements are true, invoking the First Amendment of the United States Constitution that protects freedom of expression.

In her initial statement, the actress’s lawyers described the event as “a three-day blackout in which [Depp] sexually abused and assaulted Amber.” They even graphically detailed the alleged harassment that the actress suffered at the hands of her then-husband, including having been sexually assaulted by Depp with a bottle of liquor

“For years, all Mr. Depp has wanted is to humiliate Amber, to persecute her, to ruin her career,” argued Benjamin Rottenborn, Heard’s attorney, who called Depp “an ex-husband obsessed with revenge.”

In response to Heard’s accusations, Depp’s lawyers pointed to the moment in which the actress decides to launch these claims, highlighting that they had never come to light before . The actor’s legal team maintains that Heard “went into a panic” when he realized “the seriousness of what he alleged.” They also stated that the 58-year-old interpreter had never received an accusation of violence before .
