British model Kate Moss briefly took the witness stand in the defamation battle between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard on Wednesday as his attorneys tried to convince a jury that Heard was the abuser in their relationship.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, 58, is suing Heard in Virginia for $50 million, saying she defamed him when she said she was a victim of domestic abuse. Heard, 36, has countersued for $100 million, arguing that Depp smeared her when his lawyer said her claims were a "hoax."
"He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs," said Moss, who appeared via video from England.Depp in earlier testimony told jurors that he never hit Heard and argued that she was the one who turned violent. At the center of the legal case is a December 2018 opinion piece by Heard that appeared in the Washington Post. The article never mentioned Depp by name, but his lawyer told jurors it was clear that Heard was referring to him when she said she was "a public figure representing domestic abuse."Depp, once among Hollywood's biggest stars, said Heard's allegations cost him "everything.
