1
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,560
Johnny!

2
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,720
You'll never
make it out of the bay.

3
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,480
Son,

4
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,680
I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.

5
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,360
Savvy?

6
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,360
He's one of Hollywood's
biggest and most successful stars.

7
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,760
Actors Johnny
Depp and Amber Heard.

8
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,960
Johnny!
Johnny and Amber!

9
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,280
- Johnny!
- Amber!

10
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Hundreds of miles away
from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood...

11
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Johnny Depp's defamation
trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard,

12
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,760
is set to start in
northern Virginia.

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Just in case you've
gotten lost in the soap opera,

14
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,720
50 million dollar claim by Johnny
Depp that Amber Heard defamed him.

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800
She wrote a 2018
op-ed in The Washington Post

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,960
referring to herself as a public
figure representing domestic abuse.

17
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Depp and his legal
team say that Heard is outright lying,

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,520
and that those lies have
devastated his career.

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,760
Heard countersued
for 100 million in damages,

20
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,520
alleging the actor's legal team

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,040
tried to defame her by
calling her claims a hoax.

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Neither Depp nor
Heard live or work here in Virginia,

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,720
but because The Washington
Post has servers here

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,080
and a printer here in Virginia,

25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,400
Fairfax County residents
are gonna decide their fate

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,920
in this 50 million dollar case.

27
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,200
All right,

28
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,880
everybody.

29
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,360
Right now, I am on my way

30
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,120
to the Fairfax County Courthouse

31
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:23,960
to get into line.

32
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,400
Day one of the Johnny Depp
trial. There's gonna be 100 spectators,

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,120
and it's gonna be a mix
of media and just civilians,

34
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,320
you know, supporters, fans.

35
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,280
- Johnny Depp!

36
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Yeah!

37
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,400
I hear it's first come, first serve.
So gotta be there bright and early.

38
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Oh, wait, I gotta
take a picture of the cushion.

39
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:43,560
Perfect.

40
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,240
Oh, okay,
I'm going for it.

41
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,160
I love you guys. Pass it along.

42
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,560
Let's flip it up so
you guys can see.

43
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,040
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

44
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,880
How
are we feeling, line?

45
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Yay.

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,440
You know what to
do. Hashtag "respect for the line."

47
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,320
"Justice for the line."

48
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:05,680
Okay, so if you're, like, official
media, you have to be on that side

49
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,760
of the street, right?

50
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,520
If you're, like, just a fan,
you can be over here.

51
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160
So I can kind of get, like,
a closer look at Johnny.

52
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Johnny Depp is suing
his ex-wife, Amber Heard,

53
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,480
for 50 million
dollars in damages,

54
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,320
claiming she defamed him.

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Welcome back. We're getting a closer
look into the lives of Hollywood's elites

56
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,240
as part of the
defamation lawsuit

57
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,760
between A-lister Johnny
Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.

58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,000
In 2020, Depp lost a lawsuit
against a British tabloid

59
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,160
that labeled him a,
quote, "wife-beater."

60
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,000
He and Heard are both
expected to testify at this trial.

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Lots of people
are talking about this,

62
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,600
I know there's lots of
livestreams happening.

63
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
You can go watch the trial yourself,
make your own opinions of it.

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360
It's online. You can go to
YouTube right now and watch.

65
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Johnny, we love you!

66
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Today is a different kind of show
because we are going to be watching

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,280
the opening statements in the
Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
and going through
them with commentary.

69
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,560
All right, so I got my spectator
pass. That is awesome.

70
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,920
Okay, so we are up
here on the fifth floor.

71
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,040
That's where his trial's taking place.
Not supposed to be on our phones.

72
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Definitely not supposed
to be recording up here.

73
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,240
[man, chuckling] There's
no Amber Heard fans.

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080
It's only— It's only
Johnny Depp fans.

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Nobody's there for Amber.

76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,280
What's up, guys?

77
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,240
Welcome to Lawsplaining,
and I hope you are ready.

78
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:39,040
This is one of the first
high-profile "Me Too" defamation cases

79
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,160
that's making it
into a courtroom.

80
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,120
That is huge news.

81
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,880
Hey, there we are. There's
the man himself, Johnny D.

82
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,880
That's a nice
tie! I like that tie.

83
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,920
- Ready for the jury?
- Yes, Your Honor.

84
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,840
Okay, great.

85
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,600
So how is it that Court
TV and other stations

86
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,160
are even allowed to
broadcast this trial?

87
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Why do we have such crazy access
into the Fairfax County Courthouse?

88
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,080
In Virginia, that decision
is solely up to the judge,

89
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,920
and the judge in this case signed
an order permitting a pool camera

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,680
to broadcast the trial.

91
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,000
Ladies and gentlemen,

92
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,560
we're gonna go over the responsibilities
you have as jurors, okay, in this case.

93
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,720
All right, so you're not to read, watch,
or listen to anything about this case

94
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,400
on any social networking sites.

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,720
What you learn about this
case is limited to what you learn

96
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,280
in the four walls
of this courtroom.

97
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,360
Okay? Are we ready
with opening statements?

98
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,600
The judge is asking for Johnny
Depp's attorney's opening statement.

99
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,320
Uh, I'm gonna
cut to a full screen,

100
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,520
but I will chime in with some
commentary if there are some breaks.

101
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,040
But here we go, live, uh, on
Popcorned Planet here in Virginia.

102
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,600
- Good morning.
- Morning.

103
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,120
This is a defamation case.

104
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,560
It's a case about how
devastating words can be

105
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,600
when they are false
and uttered publicly.

106
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,720
For nearly 30 years,

107
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,920
Mr. Depp built a reputation

108
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,000
as one of the most
talented actors in Hollywood.

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Today, his name is
associated with a lie

110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,520
uttered by his former wife,

111
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,640
the defendant, Amber Heard,

112
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,920
specifically the
words that she used

113
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,840
published in The Washington
Post in December 2018.

114
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,720
Quote, "Two years ago,

115
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,240
I became a public figure
representing domestic abuse."

116
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,400
"I had the rare vantage point

117
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:44,320
of seeing in real time how institutions
protect men accused of abuse."

118
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Ms. Heard did not use
Mr. Depp's name in the op-ed.

119
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,440
She didn't have to.

120
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Two years earlier,

121
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,680
Ms. Heard had publicly accused
Johnny Depp of domestic abuse.

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,880
Amber, did Johnny give
you that bruise on your face?

123
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,680
Johnny Depp accused of
domestic abuse in his sudden split

124
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,440
from actress Amber Heard.

125
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Did Johnny brutalize you?

126
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640
In the wake of
the Me Too movement,

127
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,320
Amber Heard forever changed
Mr. Depp's life and reputation.

128
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,280
This trial is about
clearing Mr. Depp's name

129
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,480
of a terrible and
false allegation.

130
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,080
All right. Thank you.

131
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,640
Mr. Rottenborn.

132
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,000
- May I approach?
- Yes, sir.

133
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,720
- Good morning, everyone.
- Morning.

134
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,920
Mr. Depp's team is gonna try to
turn this case into a soap opera.

135
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Why?
I'm not really sure,

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,760
because the evidence
isn't pretty for Mr. Depp.

137
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,160
It's not.

138
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520
You're gonna see who
the real Johnny Depp is,

139
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,760
behind the fame, behind
the pirate costume.

140
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280
The man who has
described himself,

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,080
the violent side of
himself, as "the monster."

142
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,320
"The monster."

143
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,480
You don't see The
Washington Post

144
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,920
sitting here as a
defendant in this courtroom.

145
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,680
He only sued Amber.

146
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,680
He could've sued The Washington Post,
they published the article, but he didn't.

147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,520
And he chose to bring
Amber to court here in Virginia,

148
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,480
where she has no ties,

149
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,720
has never lived,
he's never lived,

150
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,480
where they never spent any time,

151
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,640
because he wanted
to ruin her life,

152
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,560
to haunt her,

153
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,840
to wreck her career.

154
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,880
It's not about the soap opera
that Depp will turn this case into.

155
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,760
It's not about who
you like better.

156
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,920
It's not even about whether you
agree with the words that she wrote.

157
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,800
It's about her right
to speak them.

158
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Johnny Depp has one of
the most brilliant legal teams,

159
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,160
and if you need proof of that,
I've got a word for you, "Virginia."

160
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,520
Why would two
celebrities from California

161
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,120
arguing about something
written in The Washington Post

162
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,600
file a case in Virginia?

163
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,360
In the USA, defamation
laws vary state by state,

164
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,360
and Virginia has some of
the best defamation laws

165
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,520
for a matter like this.

166
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Just so we're all on the same
page, this is not a divorce case.

167
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,840
This is not a domestic
violence case.

168
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,640
I would argue it's a PR campaign
disguised as a defamation case.

169
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,400
I don't think Johnny's
intention is to win the case here.

170
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,240
I think his intention is to clear his
name and to control his reputation.

171
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360
There is no PR campaign
that has a chance

172
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280
of making an impact
as powerful as this trial.

173
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,400
Depp was the one who wanted
the cameras in the courtroom.

174
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
- Oh, really?
- She didn't.

175
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,680
Your first witness.

176
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,560
Your Honor, we'd like to
call Laura Amber Heard to the stand.

177
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:46,640
All right.

178
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Will you
please state your name?

179
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Yes, it's Amber Laura Heard.

180
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Okay.

181
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,680
Now, why are you here?

182
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:13,480
I am here because my ex-husband
is suing me, uh, for an op-ed I wrote.

183
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,280
And how do
you feel about that?

184
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,600
I, um...

185
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,960
I s— struggle to
have the words.

186
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,160
I struggle to find the words to
describe how, uh, painful this is.

187
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Um, this is horrible.

188
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,440
Okay, all
right. Yes, ma'am?

189
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,520
Good
afternoon, Mr. Depp.

190
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,000
Good afternoon.

191
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,280
Can you please tell the
jury why you're here today?

192
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Um, yes.

193
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,520
Um...

194
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,480
About six years ago,

195
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,200
Ms. Heard made some quite
heinous accusations against me

196
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,400
that, uh...

197
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,480
that were not based
in any species of truth.

198
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,240
The infamous People
Magazine cover with Ms. Heard

199
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,280
with a— a dark
bruise on her face.

200
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,800
Nothing of the kind
had ever happened.

201
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,480
Though there were...

202
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,160
um,

203
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,880
arguments.

204
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:46,080
But never did I, myself,
r— reach the point

205
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,560
of, um, striking Ms.
Heard in any way,

206
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,800
nor have I ever
struck, um, any woman.

207
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,760
I'm sorry.

208
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,680
I didn't realize anyone was there,
I thought it was just... floating.

209
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,440
It is just floating.

210
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Oh, God.

211
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,480
Why did she have to happen?

212
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,960
Just when I was doing
so good without her.

213
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,280
Please describe for the
jury your experience in auditioning

214
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,560
for The Rum Diary.

215
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Well, I auditioned a few times,
which is common in my work,

216
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,800
and then I got a call saying that
Johnny wanted to meet me in person.

217
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,840
Um...

218
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,720
I thought I would be going
for maybe an audition.

219
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,880
Um... But it was just a meeting.

220
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,640
I went to his office, um, and—
and met with him for a few hours.

221
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,200
She came to my office.

222
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,360
I took one look at
her and I thought,

223
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,280
"Yep, that's the one."

224
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,480
That's when I first
met Ms. Heard.

225
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,840
We talked about books
and music, poetry.

226
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Um, we like a lot of the same...

227
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,160
We liked a lot
of the same stuff.

228
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,880
I was so surprised that somebody—
You know, I'm a no-name actor.

229
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,960
I was 22, I think.

230
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,280
And he was twice my age and
he's this world-famous actor,

231
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,160
and here we are getting along
about... ... old blues,

232
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,280
and I thought it was
unusual and remarkable.

233
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,680
I left there just feeling
like, "Wow."

234
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,840
I remember there was a
scene where I was taking a shower

235
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,440
and then she comes into the room

236
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,240
and she walks, opens
the shower, and we kiss.

237
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,440
It felt like something
that I shouldn't be feeling.

238
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,400
There are certain things that you
do in the job to, um, be professional,

239
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,160
like when you have
to do that sort of scene,

240
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,640
and you don't,
like— you—

241
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,800
you don't use your tongue if
you can't— if you can avoid it.

242
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,200
There's certain things that you
do to just maintain a certain line,

243
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,440
and it just felt like
those lines were blurred.

244
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040
I mean, he grabbed my
face and pulled me into him

245
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,360
and really kissed me.

246
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,000
- Did he use his tongue?
- Yes.

247
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,440
That day after work,

248
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,520
Ms. Heard, uh, had
come to my trailer.

249
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,360
He kind of playfully kind of pushed
me down on this, like, bed-sofa,

250
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360
uh, that was in his
trailer, just playful,

251
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,000
um, and flirtatious,
and he said, uh, "Yum."

252
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,680
Meeting an actress like Amber
Heard, she's of another era, you know.

253
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,920
I mean, it's like walking into a room
and meeting Veronica Lake or Bette Davis,

254
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,960
or, you know, Lauren Bacall.

255
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,920
I called her "Slim."

256
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,440
I called her "Slim" and
she called me "Steve."

257
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,080
What do you think
you're gonna do?

258
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,520
I'm gonna get that wallet, Slim.

259
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,400
You know, Steve, I
wouldn't put it past you.

260
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,520
My God, when Humphrey
Bogart and Lauren Bacall,

261
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,920
that's when they
met, on that film,

262
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,840
he was 45 years
old and she was 19.

263
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,120
What'd you do that for?

264
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,000
- Been wondering whether I'd like it.
- What's the decision?

265
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,040
I don't know yet.

266
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
They stayed together
until Bogart passed away.

267
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:51,240
So, I acknowledge the— the fact
that I was the old, craggy Bogey,

268
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,320
and she was this...
beautiful creature,

269
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400
just this stunning creature.

270
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,480
It was a beautiful
place, a beautiful time,

271
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,560
and, uh, I fell head over
heels in love with this man.

272
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,480
She seemed to
be the perfect partner.

273
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000
Literate, sweet, funny.

274
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,920
She was, uh...
She was wonderful.

275
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,040
There wasn't any
love like that, you know? I mean—

276
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,880
And then, uh— he would...

277
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,640
disappear.

278
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Hello everybody,
welcome to Darthn3ws.

279
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
This is gonna be
a day one recap.

280
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,880
I was in the courtroom, I was
sitting there live, in person.

281
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,920
So I'm just gonna give
you my first-hand account.

282
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,760
I'm not a legal scholar, I'm
not a lawyer. I do this for fun.

283
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,000
But I have, like,
a dog in the fight

284
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,520
because I actually give a
fuck about Johnny Depp.

285
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,560
And men's rights.

286
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Amber! Amber! Amber!

287
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,640
- Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!

288
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Can you describe your
relationship with Mr. Depp?

289
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,000
Do you remember the first
time that he physically hit you?

290
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,280
- Yes.
- Please tell the jury about it.

291
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,840
I will never forget
it. It changed my life.

292
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,400
I— I was sitting on the couch,

293
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,560
and I ask him about the
tattoo he has on his arm.

294
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,400
I didn't know what it said,

295
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,640
it just looked like muddled,
faded tattoo that was hard to read.

296
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Well, the— the, um...

297
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,360
what it, uh— a tattoo,

298
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,960
which used to say
"Winona Forever,"

299
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,560
who was a former
girlfriend, Winona Ryder,

300
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,320
and, uh, when we broke up,

301
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,800
I took off the last two letters

302
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,560
and had it say "Wino Forever."

303
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,760
I didn't see that.
I thought he was joking

304
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,920
because it didn't look like it
said that at all, and I laughed,

305
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,040
and he slapped
me across the face.

306
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,280
I just stared at him,
kind of l-laughing still,

307
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,640
thinking that he was gonna start
laughing too, to tell me it was a joke,

308
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,000
but he didn't.

309
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,320
He said, "You think it's so
funny? You think it's funny, bitch?"

310
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,760
"You think you're a funny
bitch?" And he slapped me again.

311
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,600
Hard.

312
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,960
I was just sitting there
looking at the dirty carpet,

313
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,320
wondering why I never noticed
that the carpet was so filthy before.

314
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,000
and I just didn't know what else
to do, I didn't know what to say,

315
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,400
I didn't know how to react
because, "God, did he just hit me?"

316
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,040
Mr. Depp, what
is your response to that?

317
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:42,920
It...

318
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,880
It didn't— It— It
didn't happen.

319
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,920
I have never struck Ms. Heard.

320
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,760
I wish I could
sit here and say I stood up,

321
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,400
and I walked out of that house

322
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400
and I drew a line and
I stood up for myself.

323
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,240
I was just looking at the...

324
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,880
dirty carpet, trying to
will myself to get up.

325
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,000
I was...

326
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,760
heartbroken.

327
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,320
She's acting.

328
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,480
She's lying.

329
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,240
Will you please
state your name for the record?

330
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Whitney Henriquez.

331
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,000
- And you're Amber's sister?
- I am.

332
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Describe your relationship
with Mr. Depp in the early stages.

333
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,040
We got along
really well at first.

334
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Um, he was sober at the time,

335
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,200
and Johnny, when he's sober, is
very bright and beautiful and lovely

336
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,760
and kind and generous, and
he was very easy to get to know.

337
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,600
And frankly, we all fell
in love with him at first.

338
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480
But, very quickly,
this pattern emerged,

339
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,400
uh, as their
relationship went on

340
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,640
that if Johnny was using
or if he was drinking,

341
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,240
there was almost always a fight.

342
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,480
Johnny, when sober, was lovely

343
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,120
and magical and very funny.

344
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,560
Cocaine and any
kind of alcohol...

345
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,760
would bring out a
very, very ugly side of him.

346
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,880
Um, very misogynistic and cruel.

347
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,440
He was almost unrecognizable

348
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280
when he was drinking
and using to an excess.

349
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,360
He would just get very angry,

350
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:34,240
and he would just say really
horrible things about her.

351
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,240
He would weave these
elaborate situations

352
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,760
in which Amber was having affairs
with every man that she ever worked with

353
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,600
and every woman she
ever came in contact with.

354
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,680
He— He became very demeaning.

355
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,360
You know, "She has no talent,

356
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:53,560
and when her tits start to
sag and her face gets wrinkly,

357
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,720
nobody is gonna
be interested in her."

358
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,480
He called her "a fucking
used-up trash bag," uh,

359
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,720
"slimy whore,"saggy whore."

360
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
You know, "fucking cunt"
was thrown out a bunch.

361
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,440
Um, just horrible
things like that.

362
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,440
Motherfucker!

363
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,400
Motherfucker!

364
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,640
What happened?

365
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,520
Nothing happened this morning,
you know that? All I did was say sorry.

366
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,080
Did something
happen to you...

367
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,960
- ... this morning? I don't think so.

368
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,960
Um... No. That's the thing.

369
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,360
You wanna see crazy?
I'll give you fucking crazy.

370
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Here's crazy.

371
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,200
All your crazy. Are you crazy?

372
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Have you drunk
this whole thing this morning?

373
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,280
Oh, you got this
going? You got this going?

374
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,080
- No, I just started it.
- Oh, really?

375
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,560
- Yes.
- Really?

376
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,240
So she's trying to record him
without him even knowing that.

377
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,200
Why did you
videotape this, Amber?

378
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,440
Yeah, good question.

379
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,960
'Cause I knew he...

380
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,360
- wouldn't remember. He'd deny it.
- Objection.

381
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,480
- Calls for speculation.
- Sustained.

382
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,880
When somebody breaks
something in anger in your presence,

383
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,360
that is legally an act of abuse.

384
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:01,600
And he is— he's— Look at him.

385
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,800
I mean, he's kicking stuff, he's
slamming stuff, he's breaking stuff.

386
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,120
She's like, "Hey
what's going on?"

387
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,760
And, here, I know
he wasn't hitting her,

388
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,920
but he was doing some
very aggressive things,

389
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,040
and directly in her presence.

390
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,920
And if she's coming
in and saying, like,

391
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,320
"Well, hey, here's this
confrontation that happened."

392
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,400
"I was intimidated by it. I
felt this was an act of abuse,"

393
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,760
then she can give her opinion, that
"I was in an abusive relationship."

394
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,160
I'm not, you know, trying
to defend her or say it,

395
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,600
but I'm just saying, you know,
it's— it's a huge problem for him.

396
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,720
- Morning, Mr. Depp.
- Morning, Mr. Rottenborn.

397
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,880
Mr. Depp, we've talked
about this, uh, a little bit,

398
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,040
but you've testified that abuse
can come in many forms, correct?

399
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,600
Physical being one of them?

400
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:45,760
- Indeed.
- Verbal?

401
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,840
Indeed.

402
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,000
Psychological abuse?

403
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Indeed.

404
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,880
And you would agree that you
were violent in that clip, correct?

405
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,320
Um...

406
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,880
Clearly, I was
having a bad time.

407
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,080
I thought what— what was most interesting
is that she tried to hide it from me,

408
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240
and then that she laughed
and smiled at the end.

409
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,600
I thought that was the
most interesting part myself.

410
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,720
But— So, yes.

411
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,840
- You didn't react—
- I did assault, um, a couple of cabinets.

412
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,800
But I did not touch Ms. Heard.

413
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,640
- And—
- As you can see, I think. No?

414
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,560
You may have
been drunk in that video, correct?

415
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,880
There's a possibility
of that. Yes, sir.

416
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,440
You— You— You poured yourself a,
um, a megapint of red wine, correct?

417
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,640
- A megapint?

418
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,640
Yeah.

419
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560
I poured myself a
large glass of wine.

420
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,720
- Right.
- I thought it necessary.

421
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,080
Wait for it.

422
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,880
I poured myself a large glass
of wine.

423
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,200
The lawyer conducting
Johnny Depp's cross-examination said,

424
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,440
"We saw you pour a sort of—"

425
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,680
Johnny Depp says, "A megapint."

426
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,360
The lawyer says, "A
megapint of red wine,

427
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:33,560
which is not everybody's
choice for breakfast, is it?"

428
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,400
A megapint?

429
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,960
- That's Amber.

430
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,320
All she needs to prove
is that he abused her. I say "all,"

431
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,120
but either she's making
everything up, or there's been abuse.

432
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,560
It's not only social media,
but when his SUV pulls up at court,

433
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,400
no matter what
Amber Heard alleges,

434
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,960
there's a crowd out there who are
just gobsmacked by Johnny Depp.

435
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny!

436
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Remember,
none of us were there.

437
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,880
With us, it's, "Who
do we believe?"

438
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:25,080
But never, ever forget,
we were not there.

439
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:29,800
Good morning, Mr. Depp.

440
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,920
Good morning.

441
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,920
Mr. Depp, I'd like to
discuss April 2016 now.

442
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,080
- Um...
- Mmm.

443
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:41,800
We'll take a look at this gem
in the historic core of downtown LA.

444
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,640
This is the Eastern
Columbia building,

445
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,480
one of the most prestigious places
to live in downtown Los Angeles.

446
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,200
Johnny Depp owned
five penthouses here.

447
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,680
This art deco gem at the
corner of Broadway and Ninth.

448
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,160
My birthday was coming up, and we
had a dinner planned at our penthouse.

449
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,200
He, uh, told me at
some point that day

450
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,720
that he had scheduled
a business meeting,

451
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,600
or a— "a money meeting,"
I think he said, maybe.

452
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,400
I was about an hour
and 40 minutes late, maybe,

453
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,840
something like that.

454
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,120
Mr. Depp, when
you arrived at the party,

455
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:17,640
how did Ms. Heard
greet you, if at all?

456
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,120
Very cold.

457
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,760
It was a big deal to you

458
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,400
that Mr. Depp was late to
your birthday dinner, wasn't it?

459
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,480
Yeah, it— Yeah,
it did matter to me.

460
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,080
And you were upset he was late.

461
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,800
I was. I was hurt.

462
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,920
She squared off at me

463
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,280
in the doorway of our bedroom.

464
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,000
I— I remember him
blocking the door,

465
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,360
blocking me to get out,
kind of shoving me down,

466
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:47,360
and, well, we had a— a—
you know, a verbal argument,

467
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:50,320
and then that became a shoving
match. I tried to shove him back.

468
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,000
And I said, "Go ahead, hit me."

469
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,600
Bam.

470
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,160
It's a movie scene.

471
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,440
And then I just said, "Is
that what you wanted?"

472
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,280
"Would you like another?"

473
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,120
I wanna hug this man.

474
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,040
Bam.

475
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,680
There's the second one.

476
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,200
And I said, "Good,
now you're done."

477
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,720
Grabbed her by the shoulders,

478
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,880
walked her to the bed,

479
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,800
sat her down, and said,

480
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:23,480
"Don't follow me."
"Leave me alone."

481
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:25,720
"I'm out. I'm gone."

482
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,600
Johnny wrestled
me down on the bed.

483
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,080
I remember I got up once or
twice before I ended up on the bed,

484
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,120
and he grabbed me. Um...

485
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,000
He did this thing that he did
sometimes when he would taunt me,

486
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,400
he'd grab me by the...

487
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840
um, the pubic... bone,

488
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,400
just pushed me down, held me
down by it, and kind of pulled me into it,

489
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,200
and, um, was
kind of taunting me,

490
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,080
asking me if I thought
I was so fucking tough.

491
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,080
"You think you're such a
fucking tough guy, huh?"

492
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,400
"Are you so tough now? Look who's
so tough. You wanna be a man?"

493
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,480
I went, I grabbed a few things,

494
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,080
and I got out immediately,

495
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,520
and I went to, um...

496
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,640
my other house.

497
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,000
But he's saying, "We're fucking
done. We're divorcing. This is over."

498
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,400
And then at 4:30
a.m. on April 22nd,

499
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,480
which is Amber's
birthday, he left Amber.

500
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,880
Yes, he leaves Amber, like, "for
good," quote unquote, on her birthday.

501
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,640
What a savage.

502
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,160
My friends, this is
the patriarchy at work.

503
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,240
Heard's being called a whore,
a gold digger, a crazy bitch,

504
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,680
manipulative, a monster.

505
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360
He is being given empathy and
forgiveness for his transgressions

506
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,760
in a way Heard is not.

507
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,040
It's victim-blaming
at its finest.

508
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,520
This is why people
don't report abuse.

509
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,320
So far, who do you
believe in this story here?

510
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,960
- I kinda believe both of 'em. Um...
- Okay.

511
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,720
They're on the stand,
they're under oath.

512
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,160
- Yeah.
- They're not allowed to lie.

513
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,080
If they get caught in
a lie, it's big trouble.

514
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,840
In terms of it being public, well,
that's, uh— that's showbiz, isn't it?

515
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,920
After your birthday, you
and your friends went to Coachella

516
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,680
to celebrate your
birthday. Is that correct?

517
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,720
That is correct.

518
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,080
You're featured
in that video driving.

519
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,320
That's correct.

520
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920
I had gone to
one of my security team

521
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,120
and said, uh,
"She's in Coachella."

522
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,440
"I think it's a good
time to go downtown

523
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,080
so that I can get some
of my things." You know?

524
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,680
And he said, "I don't think
now's a good time to go."

525
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,280
Ah.

526
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,680
And I thought, "It's the perfect time.
She's not gonna be home for two days."

527
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,000
And then he showed me a
photograph on his telephone.

528
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,080
What was the
photograph of, Mr. Depp?

529
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Poop. Say it. Poop!

530
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,400
It was a— It was a—

531
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520
It was a photograph of the bed,

532
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,160
and on my side of the bed...

533
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,720
um...

534
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,240
was human fecal matter.

535
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,800
He knows how
fucking stupid it is.

536
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,520
My initial
response to that,

537
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,040
that some human being
had actually dropped a, uh...

538
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,000
"grumpy" onto the bed...

539
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,000
It was so bizarre...

540
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,200
and so grotesque...

541
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,080
that I could only laugh.

542
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,720
If you'd raise
your right hand for me.

543
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,680
Do you swear or affirm to tell
the truth under penalty of law?

544
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,240
- I do.
- All right. Thank you, sir.

545
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,080
Mr. Jenkins, do you know the
plaintiff in this case, Johnny Depp?

546
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Yes, I do.

547
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,720
Were you also going
to Coachella with Ms. Heard?

548
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,600
Yes, I was. I was the transportation
for Amber and her friends

549
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,320
while she was at Coachella.

550
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,520
And did you have any
discussions with Ms. Heard

551
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,640
on the way to
Coachella that evening?

552
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,040
We had a conversation
pertaining to the surprise she left

553
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,680
in the boss's bed prior
to leaving the apartment.

554
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,920
And what did Ms. Heard say about
the defecation in Mr. Depp's bed?

555
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,480
A horrible practical
joke gone wrong.

556
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,000
Did you commit
any kind of prank?

557
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,880
Absolutely not.

558
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120
First of all, I— that— I
don't think that's funny.

559
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Period. That's disgusting.

560
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,880
Uh, and she tr-tried
to blame it on the dogs.

561
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,600
What, if any,
issues did Boo have—

562
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,360
Oh, they're disparaging the dog!

563
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,880
with bathroom
problems, if you will?

564
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Johnny's dog,
uh, at— at the time, Boo,

565
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,640
she had eaten Johnny's
weed when she was a puppy

566
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,560
and had, uh, bowel
control issues.

567
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,840
Why didn't you
think it could've been the dogs?

568
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,120
They're Teacup Yorkies.

569
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,000
They weigh about
four pounds each.

570
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,800
It was clear.

571
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,960
That did not come from a dog.

572
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,120
That's probably one of the
first times that he really realized

573
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,520
the depths of how fucking
insane that she was.

574
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,240
It was shared on the record
that Depp sent this text,

575
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,840
quote, "Will you squat in front of
the door of the master bedroom

576
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,400
and leave a giant coil of
dookie so that Amber steps in it

577
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,920
and thinks that one of the dogs,
primarily Boo, has a major problem?"

578
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,960
"It'll be funny."

579
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,560
On the 29th of October 2014,

580
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Ms. Heard wrote in a text
message to Kevin Murphy

581
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,520
that, quote, "Last
night, she," as in Boo,

582
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,040
"shit on Johnny
while he was sleeping,

583
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,160
like all over him,
not exaggerating."

584
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Again, public record.

585
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Mr. Depp, why did you go
over to the penthouses on May 21st, 2016?

586
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,880
Ms. Heard had requested,
uh, that I come over to— to have a talk.

587
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,000
I— I went over there
with my security team,

588
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,280
Jerry Judge and Sean Bett,

589
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,040
just in case anything went down.

590
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,480
- Good morning, Mr. Bett.
- Good morning.

591
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,360
Do you see this
on your screen, uh, Mr. Bett?

592
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,280
I do.

593
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,480
That's you in
that black and white shirt, right?

594
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,680
That's me.

595
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,240
That's Mr. Depp in the
hat, and that's Mr. Judge to his left.

596
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:47,160
Correct.

597
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,360
And this
video is when you're entering

598
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,080
the Eastern Columbia building to
take him to Penthouse Three, correct?

599
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,040
That's correct.

600
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,760
Johnny and I had not seen each
other for the better part of a month.

601
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,040
I mean, I could tell he was
inebriated, but it was peaceful.

602
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,960
And then he starts talking
about the feces again,

603
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,520
and this prank that he said
one of my friends had left for him

604
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,800
in my bed.

605
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,160
Our marriage was falling
apart in front of our eyes,

606
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,720
we hadn't seen each
other for a month,

607
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,360
and I couldn't believe he
wanted to talk about feces.

608
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,680
So I call this friend, thinking
that will take care of it.

609
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,720
- And I say—
- Tell us who that person is.

610
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:32,640
Io.

611
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,360
She put me on speakerphone.

612
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:41,560
She said, "Johnny thinks
that you and I together

613
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,800
defecated on his pillow."

614
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,840
So I started laughing,

615
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,600
and he got very agitated by the fact
that she and I thought it was funny.

616
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,320
And when I realized
that he was serious,

617
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,800
I was like, "Okay, look.
You know, first of all,

618
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,600
I wasn't there that day."

619
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,440
It just made Johnny madder.

620
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,000
He got more upset,
grabbed the phone,

621
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,480
and started
screaming expletives,

622
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,760
insulting names.

623
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,680
And I said to Io, "You
can have her now."

624
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,720
"She's yours. She's
all yours." Right?

625
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:23,360
He tosses the— the phone, you know,
down on the couch and heads upstairs,

626
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,280
and I pick up the phone.

627
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,360
Io said, "Amber, get out of the
house. Get out of the house now."

628
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,680
"You're not safe."

629
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,280
Johnny came bolting
down the stairs,

630
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,960
grabbed the phone from my hand,

631
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,880
just pulls his arm
back with the phone,

632
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,320
and throws it at my face.

633
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,440
Hit me right in my— It
felt like my— my eye.

634
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,320
I was by the
refrigerator at this point.

635
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,080
I was 20 feet away.

636
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,840
Where was
Ms. Heard at that time?

637
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,920
She was still
sitting on the couch.

638
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,920
He comes over to
me, um, as I'm crying.

639
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,760
He says, "Oh
yeah, I hit you, huh?"

640
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,400
"What if I pull your hair back?
What if I pull your hair back?"

641
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,920
He said to her, "Oh,
you think I hit you?"

642
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,560
"You think I fucking hit you?"

643
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,080
"What if I peel your
fucking hair back?"

644
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,600
And then I heard the phone drop
again and then I heard her scream.

645
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,160
She's still got Io on the phone,

646
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,400
and that's when the
screaming started.

647
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,960
"Stop hitting me,
Johnny," she's screaming.

648
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:37,360
In— In her best, uh,

649
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,680
freaked out, upset
voice, high-pitched.

650
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,960
We could hear the screaming
and shouting from Ms. Heard,

651
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,320
so I immediately
opened up the door,

652
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,960
and Mr. Judge
and I ran in there.

653
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,920
Next thing I hear
is, "Boss, boss!"

654
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,760
And I realize that his two security guards
had come into the— to the apartment.

655
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,680
She had this look of
surprise on her face,

656
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:07,080
and then she looked at Mr. Depp
and us, and she shouted out loud,

657
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,680
um, "This is the last
time you do this to me."

658
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,960
"That's the last time
you'll ever hit me."

659
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,320
"That's the last time
you'll ever do that to me."

660
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,200
And again, I'm a good
20 feet away, by the fridge.

661
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,160
At which point, Mr. Depp
looked at her and said,

662
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,280
"What the hell are
you talking about?"

663
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,920
[Io] I remember her screaming...

664
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,360
and I hung up the
phone and I called 911.

665
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,240
Hello, officers.
How you doing?

666
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:56,960
Want to just
come in and just check.

667
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,880
We need to make sure everybody
in here is okay and then we...

668
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,880
Why didn't you want
to cooperate with the police?

669
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,600
I wanted to protect Johnny.

670
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,720
I didn't want him
to be arrested.

671
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:11,320
Who's Amber?

672
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,040
You? Okay.

673
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,880
Johnny is
definitely not here.

674
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,840
- He's not here?
- No, sir.

675
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,400
Everything's
all good then?

676
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,320
- Now it is, yes.
- All right.

677
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,400
Thank you.

678
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,720
My best friend
took pictures of me.

679
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,480
This is my face after
the phone incident.

680
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,440
Did you have
a clear view of Ms. Heard?

681
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,360
I did.

682
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,200
- Did you have a clear view of her face?
- I did.

683
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,480
Did you observe any
injuries on Ms. Heard's face?

684
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,320
None.

685
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Johnny Depp's soon-to-be
ex-wife has received

686
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,040
a domestic violence restraining
order against the movie star.

687
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,200
Amber Heard presented
this photograph in court

688
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,280
as evidence of the
alleged domestic violence.

689
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,440
Hey, Amber.

690
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,800
Amber, did Johnny
give you that bruise on your face?

691
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,880
- Did Johnny beat you up?
- Amber, what—

692
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,280
I saw that she
had gone to a court

693
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,080
and there were
paparazzi everywhere,

694
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,640
and her and a, um,
brown mark on her face.

695
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Had you ever been
accused of physically abusing a woman

696
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:22,560
before this point?

697
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:24,480
No.

698
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,200
No.

699
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,000
Because you started it.

700
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,080
The fact that she's on tape
admitting to hitting Johnny Depp,

701
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,400
for her to have written this
op-ed for The Washington Post

702
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:32,360
and essentially propped herself up as
a figurehead in the "Me Too" movement.

703
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,520
- Right.
- So to speak.

704
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,080
Yeah, it— it— I think you—
you just feel really betrayed.

705
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,400
It's so triggering
to so many people.

706
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,520
As a victim and a
survivor of domestic violence,

707
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,600
even though it's sexist, you do
want to kind of back the female,

708
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,240
but so far, I feel like she
was more the aggressor.

709
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,320
Look, they can both
be wrong. Amber can be awful.

710
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,360
You can totally believe
that, but we can't use that

711
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,320
as a reason for Johnny
Depp to be absolved

712
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,640
of the clearly awful
things that he has done.

713
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,160
All right.
Cross-examination.

714
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,520
Cross-examination. Here we go.

715
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,240
- Good afternoon, Ms. Heard.
- Good afternoon.

716
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:18,680
Starting out respectful.

717
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Mr. Depp hasn't looked at you
once this entire trial, has he?

718
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,640
Ooh! No, he has not.

719
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,120
Not that I've noticed, no.

720
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:30,080
You know exactly why Mr. Depp
won't look back at you, don't you?

721
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,000
I do.

722
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,600
One of the last times
you ever saw Mr. Depp

723
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,960
was when you met in San
Francisco in July of 2016,

724
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,960
and this is after
you had obtained

725
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,440
the domestic violence
restraining order against him.

726
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,560
That's correct.

727
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:45,880
Oh, right into audio.

728
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,640
- Please.
You won't even—

729
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,120
Please, please.

730
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,640
That's you and
Mr. Depp in that recording.

731
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,880
That is.

732
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,840
And he kept
that promise, hasn't he?

733
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,840
As far as I know,
he cannot look at me.

734
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,040
"He cannot."

735
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,080
He won't look
at you, right, Ms. Heard?

736
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,000
He can't.

737
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,000
Let's please
play plaintiff exhibit 357A,

738
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,720
which is already in
evidence, Your Honor.

739
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,600
That's your
voice on that recording?

740
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,680
Yes, it is.

741
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,760
You didn't think he would tell the world
he was a victim of domestic violence,

742
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:57,680
did you?

743
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,320
I thought it would be
crazy for him to do so

744
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,320
knowing what I know
we lived through.

745
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,760
What did you say in
response when Ms. Heard said,

746
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,240
"Tell the world, Johnny."

747
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,440
"Tell them, 'Johnny Depp, I'm a
victim too of domestic violence'"?

748
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,720
I said, "Yes. I am."

749
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,360
Ms. Heard,

750
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,240
Mr. Depp is your
victim, isn't he?

751
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:26,720
No, ma'am.

752
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:31,560
And once he left you, you
continued to abuse him publicly

753
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,640
by calling him an
abuser, didn't you?

754
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,240
Uh, he is an abuser,

755
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:40,800
and you can look either of us up online
and figure out who's being abused online.

756
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,800
Amber turd! Amber
turd! Amber turd! Amber turd!

757
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:05,360
This is a battle of optics. This is
not so much about the legal merits

758
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,600
but rather what the
public perception is.

759
00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:12,000
If you just
look at public opinion,

760
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,960
no one really
believes Amber Heard.

761
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,640
I don't buy it for
a— Do you buy this?

762
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,520
The hashtag
"Justice for Johnny Depp"

763
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,640
has more than four
billion views on TikTok.

764
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,880
It seems the Internet
has made up its mind

765
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,200
without this court case
even coming to a close.

766
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:06,400
Yeah, Amber's fucked.
