Depp v. Heard Trial Day 15 Morning - Amber Heard Direct-Examination

[@mefford67]

The fact that she repeatedly filmed him in secret and somehow *NEVER* managed to capture a single moment of him actually hitting her is very troubling.

[@nancyt.7134]

There are small moments I think are true, after all it was a toxic co-dependent relationship where they were both abusive... BUT... I agree with you... she says he hit her with his rings on, hard enough for a drop of blood to hit the wall. Excuse me? You have pictures of 'bruises' as your proof... but say he hit you repeatedly over the years, bruising you over the years... he asks for a divorce and you TRO his ass while he is out of country and claim abuse. Nice move.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

And, no Police or Medical Reports supporting her accusations!

So my biggest question … if Johnny was trying to isolate and control her and such why did he let all her friends live right next door? Makes isolating pretty tough.

[@MissaPality]

She isolated him. For example: Paul Bettany, his kids, all his friends, etc.)

[@1ACL]

Good point

And no one heard her screaming and bottle smashing etc

[@jasminecurry5732]

Exactly; she isolated him and the people around her. She kept them in a tight bubble. Had her friend and her friends boyfriend and her sister living right next to her. Keeps her victims close. And if you look at the pictures of Rocky and Whitney with Amber...they are just strange pictures. These people look damaged 😕

I believe that she is kind of "on the set" for a movie here. It is easy to see when she have practiced what to say, and what is spontaneous. The way she looks at the jury is pretaught, almost like she is doing a roleplay. At least IMO 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@toriwilliams5047 an actor not acting on the stand would seem near impossible.

[@kayjay7585]

@@JustPlainDeb I disagree. Deception irl is very different from acting on film and acting in theater. Also, liars don't lie because they're good at lying, but because they're morally corrupted.

[@milacruz3970]

​@@JustPlainDebthat idea about actors being good liars is so funny to me. Actors prepare (sometimes for months) for a character, not only that but they have a script, directors who tell them how to portray the truth of the character better, rehersals, breaks, multiple takes, etc. Being on a stand, talking about your personal life while answering questions that you don't know specifically what they are going to be, is a very very different situation. As you can see here, even if you have months to prepare your testimony, if you are lying, if your story is false, it comes out that way.

I agree! The way that Johnny described his finger being cut off sounded way more credible. He said something like he couldn't feel it at first but then it felt hot - that is shock and endorphins, you don't say "it didn't hurt" I can understand wanting to bang *after* you've finished withdrawals, many of us substitute that for drugs and alcohol. But while you're going through it?! Absolutely the fluck not.

[@Honey_Daddy]

Nah, but you have to jack it feebly until it runs dry 1000 times. Something about withdrawal makes it a necessity. Lasts 2 seconds and isnt enjoyable, but it does somehow help for a second. That said, no full on smash sesh. That's energy a dude doesn't have when in the thick of it. Just pathetic microsecond long jacks while laying there almost dead. Kicking sucks.

[@meems4378]

I could believe it if she said, "it didn't hurt at first, then the pain started setting in" or "I felt like I blacked out, then it really started to hurt" I honestly don't believe he ever hit her the way she explains it. When you get hut, especially by a man, in the FACE, that HURTS.

That explains why Elaine doesn’t seem to realize how irritating she is. I wonder how the jury is responding to her. Based on how JD’s attorneys are acting, the subdued way they object, how they don’t attack witnesses aggressively, that they read that the jury does not like how Elaine acts. At this point Elaine’s voice triggers annoyance in me.

I was there in court those days. Camille was AWESOME! I also sat next to Johnny and his team's driver and during the breaks he was like "Maam, can I ask you what you think of everything shes saying up there??" I was like, Well I think shes a lunatic! Shes offending almost every woman in the courtroom with these lies because most of us have ACTUALLY been through Domsetic violence or sexual assault at some point." He was so relieved to hear me say that. And she was staring at the poor jury the entire time, yet they were NEVER looking at her. Faces literally buried in the screens they had or taking notes.

It's a little unnerving how similar to Gone Girl the Makers Mark bottle insert is... The most jarring part is when she tells the truth: JDs jealousy ('don't do sex scenes'/'why are you hanging around with James Franko' etc) and the destruction of property (JD destroying the phone & throwing her clothes down the stairs, but not hurting anyone). She speaks so much more fluidly/quickly about the jealousy & property destruction versus the physical/sexual abuse, which feels like a poorly acted performance (the dramatic pauses, the sorrowful looks towards the jury, the absence of tears). I really hope she isn't lying about the sexual & domestic abuse. Because, holy smokes, what a damaging thing to do to real survivors.

[@fallen0angel]

I think that sticks out to a lot of people--in the recordings, you hear her berate him and instigate a lot, but in her retelling, she's always the meek little mouse who's always tiptoeing around his unpredictable temper. What really stood out to me, was the video where she came into his slamming the cabinets, and she's asking him 'What happened? What happened? Babe, what happened?". It's not in a tone of someone asking their partner why their upset and trying to understand, so they can try to calm them down, like, 'hey babe, what's wrong? what's got you so upset? Is there anything I can do to help?'... her tone sounds more like she's goading him. All these witnesses, pictures, or recordings...and nothing of him hitting her, or hell, even swinging at her. Especially after the 'main' incident, no pictures of her feet all torn up, no video of him waving his self-inflected bloody finger at her, just a few pictures 'a few days later' (and then some more after a few more days) of some bruises, and some barely bruises on her face, in all of which she's wearing the same shirt. Which yeah, bruises change/develop over time, but... Her whole story just doesn't add up.

[@sandraaudette8949]

@@fallen0angel yeah and there is 1 recording after she filed the TRO where he's asking her to fix all this in a joint statement after she screwed him over but all she cares about is her credibility, her reputation-with no regard to his & not ONCE does she say its bec he did anthing wrong .. She literally says she hurt him due to fear of his reaction to things she did to him.. That pretty much solidified it for me... you dont say or do that if you love someone. Plus all the inconsistencies with her version of events, the fact her stories all paint him as the only aggressor and her the innocent angel we know shes nit from the audio, its not real and her story has holes where you can tell something is missing. Its not just she said/he said, it's her version VS literally everyone else's and the fact she has no proof. Not everyone that didn't see her bruises was a Depp employee, the police didn't even know who her husband was at that time and why on earth would the door man lie for him? I get its her testimony and some things are plausible but most just doesn't ring true, the more exaggerated the claims, the kore you have to back it up... i would think her lawyers would tell her to tone it down a bit. Honestly, I thought she would go with the mental abuse claims, @least she has audio of the name calling (from both sides) instead of doubling down on the Physical stuff that she has no real time proof they even existed. 🙄 As far as her notifying people of the injuries, I hope they have to describe the marks on her because although she did notify people, like Isaac and the make up artist, they both stated they saw nothing there. It's all very Gone Girl, I'm surprise she didn't write a fake journal. IDK, I suppose it depends on how the jury defines abuse but if they see all these seemingly huge exaggerationsthat everyone else sees, then they should take everything else she says with a grain of salt.

[@fallen0angel]

@@sandraaudette8949 Sticking to emotional abuse would have made such a stronger case against him. I too have no doubts that parts of her story are true--it looks like things got really nasty between them--but anything that has to do with him causing her any physical harm falls completely flat. I can look past the no-tears-'crying', and the lack of any tone change when her voice breaks, AND even the almost immediate composure when another question is asked, trauma effects everyone differently, but nothing in her stories adds up. Both to her own 'evidence', or anyone else's. If he was holding her hostage for three days, but within the first day he's 'blacked out', like apparently so often happened, why couldn't she leave then? And yes, while a lot of abuse victims won't seek medical attention, for a multitude of reasons, she had her own private nurse! She could have made up some 'we got drunk and kinky and maybe it got a little out of control' or something. Which absolutely sucks, because this type of shit isn't something you lie about, and not enough people are believed when it actually happens to them. People die at the hands of their partner because 'he was such a nice guy' or 'she was the perfect wife'. I also find it hard to believe that early on she told her mom about it, and she didn't do anything, like 'Oh no. We'll let's just hope he doesn't do anything like that again.' Granted, my daughter's only a year old, but I cannot imagine her telling me that her partner was smacking her around, and me not doing anything about it. I don't even care about 'celebrity' news, but this whole thing is infuriating, and it's great to see Johnny not only get to tell his story, but clear his name as well. Sidenote: I feel like I need to read/watch Gone Girl now because I keep seeing people point out the very strong similarities.

I watched her full testimony yesterday… What struck me was that, even from the very start of the relationship (prior to the reported descent to extreme abuse), she was photograping him sleeping/zonked, photos of drugs, photos of this and that… We have no real context for why he is falling asleep in his chair. Yes - he has major substance abuse problems and a temper, but he was also putting in long, physical days on sets. I.e.: context?!? Also, that he was with a partner who was documenting negative things from the start…this makes me very sad.

[@ellamitchell1270]

Because she always had an agenda to use and abuse JD. If he had sexually and physically abused her then given her MO there would have been video/photo evidence. She also has selective memories and her testimony lacks cohesion.

BrassGal, how they met involves all sorts of boundarycrossing. Abuse always involves an enabling enviroment.

[@sophiemarcaurele]

Considering how mocking, condescending and arrogant she appeared in her previous deposition and interviews, I actually have a feeling she was taking the pictures to show her enabling, free-loading friends as in, “look at that old loser, ah!” Same with the “bruise” photos, which are in the typical injection sites for Botox and fillers. I have a feeling she took those to beyatch at the injector but later went, “hmmm, these could be used in a different context to my advantage”... (you have photos of minimal bruising on your face but none of you sliced up feet “flailing over broken bottles”? Uh-uh. Kay. 🤥 I hope they’ll address the fact that she conveniently denies access to her cloud and cell phone records... She is obviously very materialistic, look at the expression in her face when she keeps bringing up all his material possessions and that “giant diamond ring”. I mean, if you were abused to the point of ptsd, wouldn’t you want to get as far away from triggers as possible? Yet, as part of the divorce, she was demanding that she and her enabling free loading posse keep living rent-free in those penthouses?? 🤔💀🔪🤥

Yup - blackmailing people is clearly her Modus Operandi - she's done it to Elon Musk, Johnny Franco, Leo DiCaprio, and I''m not sure if she has blackmailed Jason Momoa, but she certainly seduced him and is an expert "homewrecker!"as she is with most wealthy men! And what about stealing the embryos that her and Elon created? She asked if she could use one, I THINK he took her to court about it as he didn't want to have any children with her after they split up. Somehow, she found a loophole (she probably threw a vodka bottle at the Laboratory Manager and threatened to cut his finger off if he did not hand it embryo over hahah) and had the embryo implanted in a surrogate therefore Elon would be 9 months months behind the pregnancy and be none the wiser about the stolen embryo!

Also, my ex husband was an opiate addict. When he went through withdrawal he could barely pick himself up from the bed, couch or bathroom floor. If Johnnys was going through withdrawal on the plane I don’t think he’d have the strength to kick her. Opiate withdrawal is painful and practically debilitating.

[@FastRunner00]

this also really surprised me. If it was any severe detox but ESPECIALLY opiate withdrawal he would not have been able to chase her around the house and throw her onto things like she's describing. Opiate withdrawal is one of the worst pains and most debilitating bodily illnesses you can experience, especially since a lot of addicts haven't felt pain of even normal severity in the years they were using so have 0 tolerance. Also, the concept that any doctor would be ok with him genuinely detoxing with only his new wife to supervise is.... untenable, no matter how much of a yes man she's claiming he was. People die from detox. Suggesting someone do it as part of a vacation with only non medical personel for long periods between "check ins" is begging for a malpractice suit. Honestly this testimony even made me rethink her characterization of the severity of his addiction not just his actions, which wasn't something I was questioning before.

He wasn’t being controlling he was helping her succeed.

The reason there were two proposals is because the first time the ring he had (the ring he showed Savanah Guthrie in an interview where he first reveals he's engaged to amber) she was unhappy with how small it was so he kept the damn thing and wore it himself and bought the humongous diamond ring she got so excited about the second go round.

I was in a very abusive relationship/marriage for over 2 decades. When I finally filed for divorce, I was able to keep it together, even though I was nervous AF. My Attorney told me not to show emotion, and to only speak when asked a question. Some days I was all over the place. Some days not being able to remember certain things. Some days angry, sad, frustrated, afraid, you name it! Insert every emotion there is when you're re living such a nightmare for so long. 15 yrs have passed and it still affects me. Of course I'm in a much better place now than I was back then. I did question some things/actions during direct, but I don't know her personally. I'm not Amber Heard.

Obviously, Amber had gone off script from what they discussed. In one of the many recorded arguments, Amber tries to drink fron JD's wine glass when she has her own. He tells her their relationship has gone past the time when they could share glasses. She freaks out of course. It sounds like he gives her his glass and takes hers. Someone pointed out that his speech starts to slur DURING the convo. She may have done the whole thing just to get him to take her glass into which she slipped something.

It's interesting she mentioned that she invited her therapist to the engagement party (that she described around the 1 hour mark). I feel like she said that to give her therapist more credibility, but it also conveys lack of client-practitioner boundaries on her part (common with BPD) and would be incredibly unethical if her therapist actually accepted the invitation (therapists will sometimes go to events like funerals if it is supportive to the client and the therapeutic relationship, but a party like AH was describing would be inappropriate).

I wish I had found your channel sooner to watch the whole trial live with you but I am loving being part of the rewatch crew. I am at 1:20 of the stream right now- AH testifying about the incident on the plane, and I had to pause the recording because It occurred to me, hang on a second... you are on a plane with lots of people, all the staff, friends, the pilot etc etc. and Johnny is calling you names, degrading you, screaming at you, throwing ice cubes and knives and forks at you, stalking you from seat to seat around the plane, slaps you across the face infront of his friend, and kicks you to the ground in the back.... and NONE of the other people on a SMALL plane said ANYTHING!? I mean even if they were his friends or employed by him I find it really hard to believe that if he was screaming, throwing stuff around, slapping and kicking AH, that everyone just sat silently in their seats ignoring everything going on right in front of them!!

if she was the victim, she would never chase him to fight more. She corners him and while he does lash out emotionally, which might not be right for sure but even the tamest of bunnies will lash out if pushed into a corner. It is a flight or fight syndrome. If he actually caused physical abuse to her, she would NEVER chase him to a room. In fact, quite the opposite. If she was truly the abusee she would have that "walking on egg shells" feeling and would not move much or say much at all if he got fired up, because she would be afraid anything she says or does would set him off. No this is a classic narcissistic abuser response.. chasing after him and fighting more, pushing the limits. You do not need a fancy degree to know that a typical abused person would NOT push the boundaries and chase the fight!

[@Kepi_Kei]

The only time I fought back was when my ex-husband, after beating me up, packed my son's things and told me he was taking him. I called the police in the bathroom while he was packing. The cops didn't come for what seemed forever when I said he was hitting me but when I started screaming into the phone two of them showed up and I walked out of the bathroom to hear them tell him to put the child down and turn around with his hands up. I grabbed my son and went back inside and they took my ex away. Definitely afraid, anxious, so many emotions going through me. But all I thought about at that time was my baby. *These comment sections are becoming like little therapy sessions, with people not only standing with Johnny but some sharing publicly the abuse they endured and a lot of people supporting one another.

20:00 & 2:45:12 Yes - JD gave AH career advice. He was put in a box of being the “hot, teen heartthrob” early on in his career. IMO JD was giving advice on how to be successful- by taking a variety of roles - instead of always being cast as “the hot girl” with kissing and sex scenes. He wasn’t being controlling he was helping her succeed by learning from his mistakes. Also, when AH went on the red carpet in a very low cut gold dress with out leaving much to the imagination and including bright red lipstick JD said “yah, I see ya, kid. That’s how they’ll always see ya” (or something to that effect). If AH wanted to be viewed as more than just “the hot girl” she had to dress and act the part - that’s why JD was helping her with her wardrobe // reviewing scripts, etc. and she knows it.

I wonder if a lot of the problems in JD and AH's relationship come from her extreme disappointment in not being able to be the perfect caregiver/mother figure in that relationship. Instead of being a loving wife who controlled the perfect home and husband, instead of being the perfect caregiver who was able to nurse JD back to health from his various addictions, every grand scheme to be the heroine (and receive the praise of the many powerful, respected friends JD had) was thwarted by JD's repeated relapses and her own shoddy attempts to help (not shoddy because she was trying to be ineffective help, but shoddy because she was completely unwilling/unable to accept the correction needed in order to be effective help). Failing to produce the results she had expected from her relationship with JD, I wonder if she turned her attempts to build a perfect family (with herself in the starring role as the beloved, caring mother) to JD's kids, attempting to (as she is doing for the court) uphold herself and smear JD in order to remove him (the problematic piece that keeps ruining her perfect plans) from her perfect imagined scenario. But then JD removed the kids from her sphere of influence.

[@kalilak9701]

@@missy3429 I agree that she definitely has malevolent intent now! But I bet SHE thinks she is the heroine. I have an aunt with similar personality issues (and so have done a bit of reading about them) and one problem with this sort of combination of lack of empathy and severe insecurity (which coalesces into a rejection of and subsequent lack of a stable, internal, positive sense of who we are as a distinctly valuable human) is that everything starts to look like a reasonable justification to do whatever it takes to remain the heroine. To admit when we've done something seriously wrong takes a lot of internal fortitude that is lacking when one is suffering from such severe insecurity. To step out of the "spotlight" and let someone else have what might otherwise have been our share of the adulation of others takes internal fortitude. The sort of internal fortitude that is completely lacking in those suffering from these sorts of personality disorders. When someone cannot handle being wrong (or giving anyone else a chance to steal the "spotlight" by being correct) lying and abuse can become an internally justifiable means to control the narrative or (from the perspective of someone suffering from such a disorder) to put the narrative back on its proper ("normal") course. I'm not saying that people suffering from these disorders will necessarily turn to abuse, and I'm not trying to excuse it either. I'm just noticing how it could very well have been (from AH's perspective) a "the path to Hell is paved with good intentions" situation. I'd speculate that AH's thinking was probably already seriously warped by her personality disorder before she met JD, and such warped thinking could (I think) very easily result in the above scenario... And then the observed results.

Also, regarding the broken nose, if she testified that she had a broken nose, there would be x-ray for that if she had her nose "fixed" since here it doesn't look like her nose is or was broken. If it was not fixed or returned to place, it would either leave a mark, or her nose would be tilted. I got my nose broken from a basketball game many years ago hitting the head of another player as I was about to steal the ball and he swung his head at the direction of my face, and you can still see that it's still slightly tilted after all these years. Sometimes you can feel something is weird in the area between the length of the nose. Not sure if it's the same for everyone, but me and a couple of people I knew were like this. Though there's were not tilted. If she uses a "broken" nose excuse, she's digging her own grave. Because 1, realigning a broken nose would require surgery because the damage may be more complicated than you think, and there would be paperwork or x-ray for that.

what creeped me out the most is her testimony about the children. her amount of stuttering just seemed so fake as if she was buying time to think of a plausible way to describe them in a good light without feeling it internally. even "weirdos" was a strange way to depict a child - i was a teacher for years and would never have to go through that amount of correction of my words/thought process to give someone else a coherent description about my students. that disjointed speech pattern really rubbed me the wrong way.

I completely agree you said this exactly how I felt it!!!

[@Winterreise189]

Yeah, it is definitely odd and not a great choice of words. Also, whenever she is talking about the kids it is always extremely shallow; I get no one is trying to get the kids involved in this but it just feels very artificial.

The irony is both of JD'S kids HATE & avoid AH at all costs. They refused to go to the wedding.

If you watch his security when he’s signing autographs, his security team wrap their arms around him and force him to move away from fans. There’s no way those men will sit by and allow that to happen on a plane. They protect him and put hands on him to move him along. I believe 100% they would put hands on if they witnessed him engaging in DV, and move him away.

Definitely. From the everything i have seen of his bodyguards. They are top notch. Which is also supported by how god damn long they stay with him.

Looking at the Jury is good sense.
