Johnny Depp fulfilling promise that Amber Heard ‘will never see his eyes again’

Johnny Depp is fulfilling a promise he made to Amber Heard that she will “never see his eyes again” after accusing him of being an abuser, a US court has heard.

The Aquaman star again denied Mr Depp had been the victim in their violent relationship, and reiterated that her 2018 article had not been about him, as she continued giving evidence on Monday.

Mr Depp is suing Ms Heard over the piece she wrote in The Washington Post, which his lawyers say falsely implies he physically and sexually abused her while they were together.

Opening cross examination on the third day of Ms Heard’s testimony, Mr Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez said why the actor has refused to make eye contact with the actress in court while she has been giving evidence.

Asked about her accusations that Mr Depp was an abuser, the actress continued: “He is an abuser… and you can look either of us up online and see who’s being abused.”

Ms Heard later admitted that there were no medical records to show that she had suffered the injuries she had previously described as having suffered at the hands of Mr Depp, including being violated with a bottle during an incident in Australia in March 2015.

She was questioned by Ms Vasquez about the lack of visible injuries following several incidents, with red carpet photos shown to the jurors, and why she had not yet donated her seven million dollar (£5.7 million) divorce settlement to charities.

Ms Heard repeatedly replied that she had “pledged” the money but said she had not been able to fulfil her obligations due to Mr Depp’s lawsuit.

Concluding her direct evidence earlier on Monday, Ms Heard said that the only person that believes that her op-ed article is about Mr Depp “ironically, is Johnny”.

“It’s about me and my life and what I endured once I moved on with my life. The only one who made it about him, ironically, is Johnny.”

She also said she feared she would “literally not survive” her relationship with the actor, as violent episodes between them became more and more normal.

“The monster was now the thing that was normal and not the exception. The violence was now normal and not the exception,” she said.

“It was so hard but I knew I had to do it… what if he had taken it too far, I wouldn’t be here.”

The actress told the court how she had been desperate for a “good night’s sleep” and repeatedly asked members of Mr Depp’s security team not to let him into the property while she was there overnight.

Mr Depp has already given evidence and faced cross-examination and has alleged that he was a victim of domestic abuse during the relationship.
