Camille Vasquez, Mr Depp’s lawyer, said the claims were misleading and that Ms Heard made them as a method for reinforcing her protection.
“Ms Heard had never made that allegation against Mr Depp – it was never essential for her charges of maltreatment in 2016. Anyway, what changed? Whenever she understood the earnestness of what she claimed [about being the survivor of homegrown abuse], she terrified and affirmed rape,” Ms Vasquez told the jury. “In Mr Depp’s 58 years, not a solitary lady has at any point blamed him for brutality, and no one in Hollywood or the world had any motivation to accept he was a victimizer – until Ms Heard freely denounced him.”
Mr Depp’s lawyers will probably keep on going after Ms Heard’s believability, depending to some extent on claims she made in another preliminary that she gave the $7m from her separation settlement to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the ACLU.

In opening articulations on Tuesday, Heard’s legal counselor, J. Benjamin Rottenborn, let the jury know that Depp is “going to attempt to transform this case into a drama” about his turbulent relationship with Heard.

Had she expected to portray her relationship with Depp “accept me, the article would have looked extremely, changed,” Rottenborn said.
“She could fill a book with those subtleties … She would have enlightened you concerning the beast, yet she didn’t. That wasn’t the mark of this article,” Rottenborn said.
Rottenborn said he doesn’t know why Depp has brought the claim on the grounds that the proof that will be displayed at preliminary “isn’t exceptionally lovely.”
“Since Johnny Depp brought this case, all of that will come out. Simply realize Amber Heard didn’t have any desire to uncover for the public who the genuine Johnny Depp is … You’ll see the genuine Johnny Depp, behind the privateer outfit,” he said.
Acquiring the case Virginia, where neither Depp nor Heard live, is only one way that Depp is attempting to hurt Heard, Rottenborn said.
He asserts that he lost a Pirates of the Caribbean spin-off and a Fantastic Beasts spin-off because of the charges. Notwithstanding, Ms Heard’s attorneys guaranteed that Mr Depp said openly he could never make another Pirates film, and that Disney not set in stone to continue on with the establishment without him.

The appointed authority all things considered eventually decided for the paper regardless of various ladies coming affirming after swearing to tell the truth to help Mr Depp’s cases.
