Amber Heard’s lawyers cross-examined Johnny Depp.

In a Virginia courtroom on Thursday, while the Aquaman actor’s lawyers cross-examined the Pirates of the Caribbean star, Johnny Depp insisted on being assaulted by his ex-wife Amber Heard.

Depp denied ever physically or sexually abusing Heard, stating that it was Heard who attacked him violently, according to reports.

Depp further claimed that an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018 in which she referred to herself as a “public figure embodying domestic abuse” hurt his career.

According to Depp, the essay damaged his Hollywood reputation unfairly, costing him the part of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean.

According to J. Benjamin Rottenborn, Disney made the decision months before the article was published.

“According to Heard’s lawyers, Heard’s opinion post was factually correct and did not insult him.” “Depp’s broken reputation was down to his own horrible behavior.

According to Heard’s lawyers, Depp’s statements about disputing violent behavior with Heard lack credibility because he often drinks and uses drugs.
