this is a situation where you were
trying to get mr depp to pay attention
to you isn't that right no i was trying
to stop him from using and because he
ran away from you at the first sign of
trouble you call him a monster i was
trying to stop him from turning into the
monster the drugs that are the key that
opened the door who was the real monster
in this relationship miss heard
lives in johnny half of johnny it's not
all of johnny the other half of him is
wonderful and beautiful and the man i
love
i'd like you to take a look at
plaintiff's exhibit 120f
[Music]
there's another set of text messages
between you and mr deb is that correct
yes that's correct i'm going to move to
admit and publish any objection no
you're on all right 120f in evidence you
can publish
this is a set of text messages and it's
from october 2015. do you see that yes i
do
in fact you sent all these messages
to mr deb on october 22nd 2015. isn't
that right exactly same thing was
happening here
and again i'm not going to read them all
but you start off again by trying to get
mr depp's attention right you right
please come home
i was trying to stop another bender
you're right please come home right that
is correct please answer don't break us
up
please answer please
and continuing on page 97 you write
give me some piece of your heart
please no fight i promise
please
no fights
please just pick up
please give me two minutes
i'm dying
please
and continuing on page 98 you write
please come home
please come home baba
i am so sorry
actually you didn't say baba you said
baby apologies
and it goes
on did i read those correctly that is
correct that was another time i'm trying
to stop another twist off
this is what would happen when mr depp
would try to take some space from you
right no this is what would happen when
johnny had moved into the next phase of
the cycle decided to use and our lives
were getting a lot worse just heard i'm
talking about your actions
this is what you would do to mr depp
when he would leave you you would harass
him i would try that's correct
you him
your honor at least let her answer the
question
that's fine go and ask the question
uh i do not think uh i would
characterize my behavior that way i was
trying to stop him from using you were
texting him incessantly isn't that
correct misheard it was imperative for
my life
my question is to me much more simple
you were texting him incessantly i would
yes or no everything to get a hold of
him and to stop the cycle
that's a yes right i would try
everything to stop the cycle it was that
important to me and he's the monster for
not responding to you that's not what
made him the monster for needing space
from you
the monster was not the guy who needed
space the monster was who he was when he
came back not for doing drugs misheard
not for being violent just for needing
space that's when you called mr depp the
monster incorrect
you were sitting here in this courtroom
when officer melissa science testified
by deposition
about being called to the eastern
columbia building on may 21 2016.
right i saw her testimony yes and you
heard officer signs testify that she did
not see any injuries on you that night
correct i heard her testify she did not
consider this injured
no
miss officer signs testified that she
met with you and she did not see any
injuries on your face isn't that correct
she did not consider this injury
miss heard my question is a bit more
nuanced
so is my answer
my question is more nuanced
you sat in this courtroom
while officer science testified that she
saw you the night of may 21 2016
face to face
and didn't see any injuries on your face
isn't that correct miss heard i believe
she was testifying
about these photographs and she said
that i was not injured in them
is it your testimony under oath now that
officer signs testified that she saw
injuries on you when she saw you in
person on may 21 sorry let me clarify i
was testifying that i know that that's
what officer science said that she
didn't consider my red puffy face
injured that's what she said
the red puffy face that was your
counsel's question correct that was your
testimony in the uk
that's incorrect and you know that
misheard
i disagree it's just inconvenient for
you that officer science didn't see
injuries on you on may 21 2016. it
doesn't matter what's convenient for me
right
officer tyler hadden also testified by
deposition about being called to the
eastern columbia building on may 21 2016
and
he also testified no injuries on your
face on may 21 2016 isn't that correct
they both said that they did not
consider me injured
they did not see injuries on your face
on may 21 2016. isn't that what their
testimony was what their testimony was
is that they did not consider what my
face looked like to be injury they
didn't consider what they walked on in
the house damage but it was
you were sitting here when officer
william gatlin testified by deposition
about being called on
may 21 to the eastern columbia building
and he also did not observe any injuries
on you did he
and that's what he testified to he
didn't even know which one i was
no i think we all saw on video camera
you identify yourself isn't that correct
i had to because of how far away he was
he didn't even know he didn't even know
who he was after you identified yourself
he looked at you isn't that correct from
a distance yes
and he didn't see any visible injuries
either did he i don't know what he saw
he testified that he didn't see any
visible injuries i would believe that he
didn't yes
you were also in this courtroom when
alejandra romero who worked at the front
desk at the eastern columbia building
testified about seeing you on may 25th
2016. isn't that correct
that is correct i think he said the 25th
yeah and mr romero testified that he
didn't see any swelling or bruises on
your face when you were talking to him
at the front desk he wouldn't have
no he wouldn't have even though he had a
habit because his
parents taught him correctly to look
into someone's eyes when speaking to
them isn't that correct i know that's
what he testified to yes
you testified yesterday that you sought
a temporary restraining order on may 27
2016 because you wanted to change your
locks do you remember that testimony yes
i do because the locks were to the
penthouses at the eastern columbia
building isn't that correct that's
correct
you changed the locks to the penthouses
on may 22nd 2016. i attempted to
that's why you felt comfortable having
james franco over the evening of may
22nd 2016 miss heard
i do not know when
i do not know when james came over okay
let's remind you
let's uh go back to that recording
it's a defendant's exhibit 598
so you testified that
you and mr depp were in the car
outside of his studio is that right
yes you were trying to prevent him from
going into his studio to do drugs right
uh yeah to effectively start another
cycle right
not that mr depp was just trying to go
into his house to see his daughter right
his daughter might be one of the people
that was in the house at that time but
that's
neither here nor there though your
testimony is from entering
your testimony is now that mr dutt does
drugs in front of his children
well first of all i know he does um
second of all
it wouldn't have mattered it wouldn't
have stopped him from using with his
friends which is the problem not whether
or not his daughter was there okay this
is a photograph of you taken inside the
courthouse when you obtain the dvro
correct that's correct and your friend
raquel pennington took this photograph
yes that's correct because you needed to
document your time at the courthouse
getting a dvro
she just took a picture of me i
i'm assuming it was um
in relation to my divorce yeah
if we could please pull up defendants
exhibit 801 which has already been
admitted into evidence
miss her this is another photograph of
you taken inside the court house isn't
that right that is correct
were you having a photo shoot inside the
courthouse while you were getting a dvro
i would not characterize it that way
miss vasquez
you have a mark on your face right
misheard
yes
didn't use your bruise kit this time to
cover it up no it was the only day i
actually walked out of my house without
makeup on i had to be stopped my best
friend saw me in the bathroom starting
to put makeup on and told me not to
all right
you also wrote quote imagine a powerful
man as a ship like the titanic that ship
is a huge enterprise when it strikes an
iceberg
there are a lot of people on board
desperate to patch up holes not because
they believe in or care about the ship
but because their own fates depend on
the enterprise
this thought better you're saying mr
depp is a ship right
i'm making an analogy to a powerful man
as a ship
the powerful man you're referring to in
this analogy is mr depp right
i was talking about
a bigger issue actually than just johnny
i was talking about
what we as a
as a country were talking about at the
time of writing this which is
when powerful men in general do
something
horrible or something they shouldn't
how there is a system in place to
protect them clean up after them
maintain them
uh afloat you know this is
a reference to not just johnny it was
about
what was happening as a culture when we
were addressing a lot of me too issues
for the first time the iceberg is you in
this analogy right miss hurt
um i would not say that i had that had
not
that was not what i intended to know
so
this is another reference to your
accusations against mr depp
uh
no this is about what happened to me
once i left
that relationship and got a tro and
became associated with domestic violence
right
but it's your testimony that this op-ed
isn't about mr death right it's about
what happened to me after that's correct
about your experience after obtaining a
temporary restraining order against mr
depp right that is correct among other
things but it's not about mr depp it is
not about him mr death is making it
about mr duff right
ironically
it's kind of like that carly simon song
right misheard
i don't know what you mean
let's talk about the defamatory
statements in the op-ed that you also
claim are not about mr depp
then two years ago i became a public
figure representing domestic abuse and i
felt the full force of our culture's
wrath for women who speak out
this is about mr death isn't it
no
you wrote this in 2018 right exactly
and two years prior was 2016 right
that's true okay that's correct it's not
about johnny it's about what happened
my question was
may of 2016 is two years prior to
december of 2018. that's correct all
right
may 2016 is when you publicly accuse mr
depp of domestic violence right i got my
restraining order at that time and you
publicly accused mr depp of domestic
violence yes that was in attached my
restraining order so yes
may of 2016 is when you sought a
restraining order against mr depp that's
right correct and i had to provide
testimony for that right and may 2016 is
when you walked into court with a mark
on your face to obtain that restraining
order yes or no that was the day i
walked into court with a bruise on my
face yes
and you were photographed with that mark
on your face weren't you
i walked out to a bunch of photographers
cs may 2016 is when you told the world
that mr depp had physically abused you
during your relationship isn't that
right
that i had to provide testimony as part
of my restraining order application yes
and that's how you became a public
figure representing domestic abuse right
ms hurd from that point on yes that's
when you claim you faced our culture's
wrath right when it started yes but it's
your testimony under oath that this
statement is not about mr depp
it is uh not it is about what happened
to me afterwards that's the more
interesting was the more interesting
thing for me to write about
so on december 19 2018 you tweeted quote
today i published this op-ed in the
washington post did i read that right
that is correct and the tweet includes a
link to the op-ed we were just looking
at correct that's correct and you can
see that the title the op-ed in your
tweet is quote opinion amber heard i
spoke up against sexual violence
right
yes you don't get to change the title of
an article you're retweeting
and that's the title that you put on
your twitter correct i did not put it on
my twitter no you linked it to your
tweet i i retweeted the article
you published it
i retweeted a link to an article that
i wrote and you publish it on your
twitter account all right i retweeted it
you testified yesterday that you didn't
have any control over the title and just
now
of the op-ed when you retweeted it is
that correct that is correct
this wasn't a retweet though right
uh
tweet
perhaps not retweet i don't i'm not
quite sure it was a tweet tweet
i misspoke excuse me tweet not retweet
you included a link to the electronic
copy of the op-ed in your tweet right
that's what i was trying to say earlier
um and i might have misspoke it's like
i'm trying to attach it right
so you can cr included a link right yes
that's correct okay that's correct
so you must have seen the title of the
electronic version of the op-ed before
you tweeted it right i may have i just
didn't notice it
not very careful about what you publish
are you misheard i just didn't notice
the title
you didn't need to include the link to
the electronic version the op-ed in your
tweet did you
how else would i have
linked it
well you didn't need to include the link
to tell the world that today you had
published this op-ed in the washington
post about women who are challenging
their rage and about violence and
equality into political strength despite
the price of coming forward
right i couldn't attach it with a paper
clip no but you didn't need to attach it
at all to tell the world that you had
published an op-ed no the goal was to to
tweet about it and to provide a link so
that people could read it the op-ed is
in your name right that's correct
so if you had noticed the title of the
electronic version of the op-ed before
you included it in your tweet you could
have asked the washington post to change
it isn't that right
uh no that's not okay but you didn't do
that right never asked the washington
post to change the title i didn't notice
it and i didn't ask them nor do i think
i needed to
at the bottom do you see that there's
another tweet from december 19 2018
yes i do
and in this one
it reads i am honored to announce my
role as an aclu ambassador on women's
rights did i read that right that's
correct so you announced your aclu
ambassadorship the same day you posted
the op-ed on your twitter i think that
was always the plan is to attach the
article with the
the announcement that i was an
ambassador there was a lot of publicity
about your relationship with mr depp
around the time mr waldman made the
three statements at issue right
uh i do not recall a lot of really
negative publicity for you must heard
isn't that right there's been an ongoing
smear campaign yes
an ongoing negative publicity campaign
it's an orchestrated smear campaign
you have no evidence of that do you
misheard just look me up you'll see
let's take a look at some of that
this one was published on march 17 2020
amber heard slam door into johnny depp's

accountable to that it's fair
mister that's you and mr deb on that
recording correct that's correct and he
told mr deb quote i can't promise you
that i won't get physical
end quote correct that's correct he was
accusing me of instigating something in
the situation i explained yesterday
and you also told mr deb that sometimes
you get so mad you lose it correct
that's correct i also explained the
context of that fight yesterday
isn't that exactly what you told ben
king on your way back from australia
that you get so mad you lose it
absolutely not i know that that's what
ben king testified to but i never had
that conversation with ben king
we could please play i'm sorry um i
checked and i have no objection to the
entirety of 356 coming so 356 in its
entirety will be in evidence all right
thank you

other times you split

about that
we're on a plane i can't split no and
you hit back so don't act like you don't
fucking participate i pushed you
i'm not going to get into the details of
that fight you and i both know that you
split when there is no physical violence
and that you do it and meet like at the
very beginning of fights these days and
if you split and you go into a different
room and you don't actually leave that
house it does nothing but perpetuate the
fight and you don't actually do it
respectfully don't
as hard as that you and mr depp on this
recording yes it is
can we please uh pull up plaintiff's
exhibit 343
and i believe that one's been admitted
already into evidence yes ma'am
thank you and just for the record um
we're playing from two four six zero one
two two four seven two zero
i said to travis i said no i said to you
hey
tell travis what just happened are you
telling me to do it you told me to you
said go do that i said
tell them what you're saying i lied and
that you punched me in the fucking thing
you figured it out and you said
no fucking i didn't what the fuck are
you talking about
and i watched you lie and then i didn't
punch you by the way you i'm sorry that
i didn't
uh uh hit you
across the face in a proper slap but i
was hitting you it was not punching you
babe you're not punched don't tell me
what it feels like to be punched you
know even a lot of fights been around a
long time i know no when you fucking
have a closure then you get punched you
got hit i'm sorry i hit you like this
but i did not punch you i did not
fucking deck you i fucking was hitting
you i don't know what the boat motion of
my actual hand was but you're fine i did
not hurt you i did not punch you i was
hitting you how are you how what am i
supposed to do do this
i'm not sitting here bitching about it
am i you are that's the difference
between me and you you're a fucking baby
because you started you are such a baby
girl the fuck up
physical fights
i did start a physical fight you did so
because you fuck out of there yes you
did so you did the right thing the big
thing the you know what you are
admirable
that's you and mr depp on that recording
right mr that's correct and you said
you hit mr depp right
yeah i had to hit his body to get him
out of the door my question was you said
on that recording that you hit mr dupp
right yes i did
and you accused him of being a baby for
not wanting to be in a physical fight
with you right incorrect i accused him
of being a baby for complaining about me
hitting him when he was trying to get
through the door i was trying to
barricade next thing that i'm going to
play to you
uh as hugh would you listen to this
please
[Music]
when i was trying to close the door
i just stretched your toes
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
i
okay
so you told him in that
uh
excerpt that you
hit him with the door but did not intend
to hit him correct
did you say that
i i said whatever i said in that
recording i don't um when you play it
for me it's hard for me to remember
everything and that's a recording marked
as exhibit the punching
uh
cue
would you continue to listen to exhibit
queue
are these from the same day
i reacted but this whole the door thing
i remember i never did that that wasn't
on
i remember hitting
without you
so on the tape you tell johnny depp that
you did mean to hit him
and it also misrepresents
which is him trying to get into a room
i'm trying to keep him out of and then
he
runs the door over my toes trying to get
into the room i try to push him out of
it which is what the hit is referred to
and johnny whenever he was injured or
touched it always referred to it in
these ways of punching or clocked or
whatever and whether you didn't disgust
it with him or not
the last thing you do in in talking to
him afterwards or trying to reconcile
with him is to get into what the
definition of those words mean to him
never i never even addressed it he would
if he was ever pushed it was it was a
close he called it a a cold clock i mean
it's just very dramatic isn't it true
you're smiling as that audio recording
is being played in your deposition
aren't you misheard not smiling because
of the audio i'm smiling because of
what's happening around me you even roll
your eyes at one point don't you i was
sitting opposite a whole table full of
lawyers who were snickering laughing and
rolling their eyes at me while i was
talking
is there something amusing about kicking
a door into your husband's head
no i was rolling
my eyes and commenting on what i was
experiencing at that time in recounting
the story there's something amusing to
you about punching your husband in the
jaw
that is not what i was smiling about and
no i do not think it's amusing
