Johnny Depp’s legal team called the testimony of Amber Heard “the fulfillment of her life” on Thursday, while the process of defamation of the former continues.
“As Mr Depp’s lawyer rightly predicted in his introductory remarks last month, Mrs Hurd did present the ‘performance of her life’ in her live review,” a spokesman for the Pirates of the Caribbean star said in a statement to Page Six.
The spokesman also claimed that Hurd’s stories “continued to grow new and convenient details”, while their client’s memories remained exactly the same during the six painful years since her first accusations.
“His truth – the truth – is the same, regardless of the environment in which it is presented.”
The spokesman said the upcoming cross-examination by Depp’s team – which will take place after the resumption of the trial on May 16 – would be “most telling and will certainly highlight the many misconceptions that Ms. Hurd is now trying to portray as fact. in his complex testimony ”
Hurd’s spokesman – whom she recently hired after a number of unfavorable headlines when her previous PR team was in charge – told Page Six on Thursday: “As can be seen from the statement just published, Mr Depp’s defamation allegation is falling apart quickly that his lawyers turn from a prosecutor into a persecutor.
“They boast that Mr Depp’s story has not changed. If so, because he lost the restraining order on domestic violence and lost the defamation lawsuit in the UK, perhaps he should consider a new strategy rather than a recycled approach to attacking the victim and refusing to take responsibility for his own. behavior.

A spokeswoman for the actress then referred to an audio recording that was released to the jury on Wednesday, in which Hurd, 36, asked Depp, 58, “Has the monster disappeared? Did you leave him? “
“If Mr Depp was really innocent, why did he repeatedly apologize to Mrs Hurd and promise to take the monster back forever?” The spokesman said.
“One of Mrs Hurd’s disappointments is Mr Depp’s inability to distinguish fact from fiction, a disease that seems to have spread to his legal team. This same team is so panicked that they are fighting tooth and nail to prevent the presentation of convincing evidence and photos. “
Hurd’s publicist then shouted that Depp did not have the “courage or bravery” to watch his ex-wife as she testified, but instead “painted and smiled.”
“Mr. Depp’s behavior in this process is as unfortunate as in their marriage,” he said. the victim.

Depp is suing Hurd for defamation over a 2018 Washington Post article written by the Aquaman star in which she said she was a victim of sexual violence.
She did not specify Depp’s name in the article, but it was written after Hurd filed a restraining order against her ex-husband in 2016 on charges of abuse.
Hurd spoke for the first time on Wednesday to share his side of the story, claiming that the Edward Scissorhands star beat her and threatened to kill her when he abused drugs and alcohol.
She also accused her ex of jealousy, especially because of her interactions with her former colleague James Franco, and called her a “slut.”
Depp is seeking $ 50 million in damages. Hurd filed a counterclaim for $ 100 million.
