Over the past few weeks, Heard and Depp have talked in detail about their relationship, in front of the jury, the judge and the whole world. The whole case could be followed online, so the case received an extreme amount of attention in traditional media and on social media.

For example, Depp said that Heard was the cause that he lost part of his finger. The actress allegedly threw a bottle at him, hitting his hand. When he was treated for it, the actor told the doctor that he had caused the accident himself, to protect his then-husband.
Depp testified that his excessive drinking and drug use was caused by the many problems the couple had. In addition, he said that Heard once expressed a cigarette in his face and how the actress used his problematic childhood several times to bully him.
Heard had a very different story: she says that Depp had an extreme drug and alcohol addiction and therefore regularly became aggressive. Several times she would have been beaten and pushed by him, details that also emerged in the case that was filed in the United Kingdom in 2020.
Depp lost that lawsuit: he wanted a rectification from The Sun, because the newspaper called him a womanizer, but the judge saw sufficient ground for that. Depp had to pay his ex millions of euros.

In this new case, Heard stated that she was also sexually abused by the actor. Without permission, he had penetrated her with a bottle, she claimed. In addition, Depp was under the influence of ecstasy pills.
Heard and Depp were not the only ones to take their seats in court. Heard’s sister said that she too was once beaten by Depp. Kate Moss testified just the opposite: for years there were stories that the model had been pushed down a flight of stairs by him during her relationship with Depp, but the model has now contradicted those stories.
Another of Depp’s ex, actress Ellen Barkin, said the actor was extremely jealous. Then he could become quite aggressive, she said. For example, he would once have thrown a glass bottle in her direction.
Depp’s lawyer claimed that Barkin always expected more from the relationship than the actor and that there were feelings of revenge. Heard’s lawyer gave a similar statement for the testimony of an employee of entertainment site TMZ.
That employee said Heard herself contacted the site to make sure photos were taken when she applied for a restraining order for Depp. Heard’s lawyer pleaded that this employee gave this testimony for ‘fifteen minutes of fame’.
A lot of accusations back and forth, but what next? In the coming days, the jury and the judge will consider all the testimony and evidence provided and then determine the verdict.
There is not only the 50 million dollars that Depp is demanding from Heard: she has demanded 100 million dollars from him in the same case.
The star status that the two once had, they have lost forever according to experts. Because of the extreme details, the audience can never look at the actors the same again.
