Johnny Depp’s team calls Amber Heard’s testimony ‘the performance of her life’

Johnny Depp's team has issued a statement after Amber Heard's testimony on Thursday, in which she alleged Depp sexually assaulted her with a bottle, and detailed the alleged abuse she experienced at the hands of the actor.

"As Mr. Depp's counsel correctly predicted in their opening statements last month, Ms. Heard did indeed deliver 'the performance of her life' in her direct examination," a spokesperson for Depp said in the statement.

"While Ms. Heard's stories have continued to grow new and convenient details, Mr. Depp's recollections have remained exactly the same throughout the six painful years since her first allegations were made," Depp's spokesperson continues. "His truth — the truth — is the same no matter the environment in which it has been presented."

The statement concludes, "The upcoming cross examination from Mr. Depp's team will be most telling, and will certainly highlight the many fallacies Ms. Heard has now attempted to pass off as fact throughout her convoluted testimony.

Depp is suing his ex-wife for defamation, arguing that her 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post about surviving domestic violence tarnished his reputation and ruined his career opportunities, even though she didn't mention him by name in the article. He has said that after Heard's allegations against him, he lost "nothing short of everything."
