Amber Heard’s lawyers had initially suggested they would call Johnny Depp as a witness, but ultimately opted against it, resting their case Tuesday

Actor Amber Heard rested her case Tuesday in the civil suit between her and ex-husband Johnny Depp without calling Depp to the stand.

Depp is suing Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” His lawyers say he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name. Azcarate said the bar for tossing out a claim before it goes to the jury is exceedingly high, and said there is enough evidence to allow it to go forward. She had already ruled Depp could be held responsible for statements made by his lawyer, a principle Depp’s team disputes.

The mental gymnastics required to defend her at this point in the trial are wild. This is the craziest shit. Ope - I mean AmberTurd 🤣 JusticeForJohnny She’s totally 100% unbelievable!!

Heard's lawyers try to poke holes in Depp's libel lawsuitAttorneys for actor Amber Heard spent much of last week trying to portray her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, as a jealous and drunken abuser who can only blame himself for his nose-diving Hollywood career. Women who falsely accuse men should face jail time. I'm sure even most women would agree. Some of us can remember when DEPP and ex G/F Kate Moss made headlines weekly in the media for their LEGENDARY brawls destroying hotel rooms, it got so bad, they were banned from Hotels.. Facts..Depp is not as he is presented He always was an abusive drunk As far as I can see, they're both bonkers!
