Amber Heard, who testified Wednesday in the London Courts on the 12th day of the Johnny Depp libel trial against the editor of The Sun newspaper, alleged that Depp beat her the night before she appeared on “The Late Late Show “by James Corden in December 2015..
Depp is suing News News and journalist Dan Wootton over an article on The Sun’s website that described him as a “handcuff puncher.” Depp denies that he was violent towards Heard, whom he was married to between 2015 and 2017.
Heard described the incident in December 2015 in his witness statement as “one of the worst and most violent nights in our relationship.”
Heard alleges that Depp slapped her, dragged her by the hair through her apartment, pulling her locks, and then repeatedly hit her on the head.
Laws said, “That’s just a complete set of lies, isn’t it?”
Heard replied quietly, “No.”
A clip of Heard’s appearance on the chat show was played in court, after which Laws said, “This is how you looked on the show. There are no injuries, right?
Heard replied, “I had tons of injuries.” Then she said she had makeup to cover the wounds and added: “It shows from the size of my lip alone.”
Stylist Samantha McMillen saw Heard shortly before her appearance on the chat show and said in her evidence that the actress was not wearing makeup, which Heard disagreed with.
Heard said McMillen saw her while she was already putting on her makeup. She said McMillen was her stylist for a short time while she was married to Depp, adding: “She is Johnny’s stylist.”
Makeup artist Melanie Inglessis said she saw the actress on the night of December 15, 2015, after Heard texted her that Depp was “hitting me.”
She went to the Los Angeles penthouse to find Heard erratic and upset, she said.
“She said Johnny and I had a fight,” said Inglessis.
“The main thing that stuck with me about the incident in bed was that she said he tried to suffocate her with a pillow. She felt he tried to kill her that night. She said he dragged her by the hair. That is what I remember.
Inglessis said she helped set up Heard’s makeup the next day for the “Late Late Show”, when Heard said he had two black eyes and a broken nose.
“He had minimal discoloration in the eyes, in the inner corner of the eyes, next to the nose,” Inglessis said.
“I remember that his left eye was a little more bruised than his right eye.”
“I remember that the bridge of the nose was a little red and swollen. I remember a cut or scab on my lip.
The law told Heard that a photograph of her with bruises on her face taken after the alleged December 2015 incident was “fully prepared,” which Heard denied.
Laws asked the actress why she took a picture of her scalp, and Heard said her scalp hurt and that her friend Raquel Pennington took a picture because she had red spots on her head and was filled with pus from where she had been. . taken out.
The laws questioned Heard about medical notes made by a nurse, Erin Boerum, who saw Heard shortly after the alleged incident, who recorded that Heard was “actively bleeding from his lip.”
The nurse also said that she “briefly looked at the client’s scalp but was unable to visualize the bruises the client described.”
Laws said, “You didn’t see a bruise when you saw Erin Boerum, did you?”
Heard replied: “I had bruised ribs, bruises all over my body, bruises on my forearms from trying to defend against blows. She had two black eyes, she had a broken nose. She had a broken lip … the really bad ones [bruises] they were in my hair, on my scalp. “
I heard continue: “There were missing strands of hair, there was pus in those wounds on my hairline, dark red bruises … purple red on the temples and on the chin. The inside of my upper lip was cut.
Laws said: “This doesn’t make sense, does it? She [Boerum] I didn’t see any bruising … you just bit your lip because it had fresh blood on it. “
Depp denies all allegations of violence.
The trial continues on Thursday.
