- Day 15 began with the resumption of the direct examination of Amber Heard. This lasted the full day, and will continue when court reconvenes on May 16th following a 10 day break for Judge Azcarate to attend a Judical Conference.
Amber spent most of the day recounting various incidents where she alleged Johnny abused her. Included among them was the Australia Incident, the flight to Boston, and the December incident which occurred the night before her appearance on the James Cordon show.
Join us as we break down the happenings of the day, examine her testimony and some inconsistencies, and look at where this is probably going.

What did you make of Amber's testimony today?
Histrionics on display for the world.
There is a clip showing her with tissue in her hand trying to wipe sniffles but paused for photos 😂
All word salad. Toss it to see what comes out on top. Start digging in and it's all the same with a bitter vinegrette.
Exhausting and scripted and exaggerated 🤷♀️ I was really looking forward to this recap because I just walked out in some moments because I just... Couldn't.... Sorry! I just.... Aargh.. Really!?
I got soooo triggered you know..
Bad acting.
I’m a 911 dispatcher and have listened to hundreds of victims describe their assaults. The assault she described, that she dared offer those photos as proof of, would absolutely have been charged as an attempted murder had she called the police. I am so offended she described such a hellish assault then showed those photos as proof. I’m offended for all the victims, the victims who have gone unbelieved and for the justice system.
She is a Liaaaarrr by all means and the abuser
In a way I am glad she said what she said, as the Jury will surely think "What the actual F is this deranged nutcase chatting about?" talking about beatings so bad as if it's the last fight in an Action film between the baddy and goody. She would literally have been hospitalized/in a coma, then shows photos with a tiny bit of of dark spot under 1 eye which just looks like she is tired or rubbed it too hard/make up. I cannot believe her Attorneys took this case, they must be making more than normal or wanted to just raise their profile cause she hasn't provided anything whatsoever so far and surely this will end of being damaging for them too.
Fortunately, she wont be able to keep up with all of the lies for long. Johnny’s team will catch her slipping up during the cross examination. Fingers crossed.
I think everyone was expecting to see pics of her face as unrecognizable after hearing how she was pummeled.
@@bellkim1645 They have 10 days to prepare too. Plus they can just sit back and let all of us on the internet make their argument for them 😂
The lawyer Camille was the star of the show. She wasn't just a machinegun, she was a sniper. Apart from breaking the flow, she showed clearly how much AH was basing her accounts on hearsay with zero facts to show for.
Agree!
Yes I can’t wait for cross
I agree that she was the star, but only the star of episode 15. We have Dr. Curry who is another star. Sometimes I think she is a fortune teller with a crystal ball!
Love the comparison 👌🏻
Loved it. She came with perfect timing
It’s interesting - I actually cried in the 10 seconds Issac Baruch got emotional talking about how many lives have been destroyed due to this lie and I felt nothing during her HOURS long deposition.
I think AH's side made a huge mistake having her give her testimony before the break. They likely want her words to be in the minds of the jurors for the next 10 days. BUT, what they have actually done is give Vasquez and JD's team Ten days to comb through every sentence and every single word she said to find every inconsistency between her Virginia and United Kingdom testimonies. I think it was a MASSIVE mistake on AH's side.
I agree. Plus proof of her lies will be all over social media… I know that the jurors aren’t supposed to discuss or consume any media re: the case but I don’t know how they’ll be able to avoid it completely.
Allows for Johnny’s team to put Amber through the shredder.
Very good point. Time is a real luxury in a trial, and the defense just gave the plaintiff a lot of it.
Good! Don’t like her side anyway. Can’t wait for cross!
And she’s never testified to the SA before. Kate James reported during the UK trial that the SA story in AH’s deposition was stolen from her.. and that she had told several people about it prior to telling AH (hopefully there’s evidence of that). Now that she testified to the story, hopefully that opens the door for JD’s team to bring that into evidence.
There’s also audio recording, taken by AH, from the morning after the finger incident. In it, (1) the timing of her waking up to the Devastation is proved false - at was the AM not midday, (2) she pretty much takes blame for his hand, apologizing profusely and saying something like “did I do that? Oh my god. Is it going to be okay. I’m so sorry”, (3) nobody asks her if she’s okay or about her supposed injuries, (4) she is heard stomping up the stairs - with bloody cut up feet? (5) Dr Kipper is very unflattering to her in his interpretation of what’s happening, saying “she shattered his bone”, (6) she really really didn’t want to leave him and she said all the things she claimed in her testimony that HE was the one to say following the incident re: fears that they would break up over it. Idk if they can bring that into evidence or not, since there are other voices beside JH/AH.
She's an extraordinary case study for those studying psychology and personality disorders
Perfect to study!
I was just saying this. She'll become a subject of study for years to come! Guess she got the attention she was seeking after all.
Maybe even a new classification of crazy is in order.
Antisocial personality disorder, they have no shame nor remorse
@@Leon-bc8hm Believe it or not she's pretty textbook. The only thing is you can tell she's been indulged since she was a child because she's so bad at crafting lies. Had she been given limitations she would have had to learn to lie better in order to get what she wants.
As a Licensed Psychotherapist of 20 years, Dr. Curry's diagnosis appears right on. If someone like her demonstrated these behaviors on the stand, it would appear as textbook Histrionic Personality Disordered behavior. Embellishment, attention seeking, and manipulation.
Some people have commented how could someone lie to that extent. I’m hopeful this raises awareness of the mechanics of personality disorders to lay people and to attorneys. Just because someone goes to extensive lengths to tell graphic stories about someone else does not mean they are true. Yes personality disordered people do lie to this extent. They survive by externalizing themselves onto others. Untreated personality disordered individuals populate the court system with long term high conflict court cases which tax our entire society. There needs to be more awareness in the court system about personality disorders and high conflict individuals. It's not a "it takes two to tango" or "it was mutual abuse." High conflict individuals thrive on making allegations, pursuing legal abuse, and dragging their victims through the court system.
Does she believe what she is saying or is she able to justify saying it to herself?
When habitual liars get caught in a story that doesn’t make sense, they tend to double down. More than anything, they cannot stand not getting away with their lie. Truth, decency doesn’t matter. Getting what they want is all that matters and to them it is justified. I see a lot of that in Ambers testimony. She wanted to be an ACLU ambassador for domestic violence. She was willing to use Johnny to get that. That he fought back, she is going nuclear. Problem is her story of events is just impossible to believe without any evidence:
What does it mean to externalize oneself onto others?
I feel bad for her daughter.
What was your take on her psychotherapist witness?
I love watching Ambers face change as soon as an objection is raised. She goes from "come on, I'm really trying to cry" to "uggh! Why are you interrupting my performance!" Soooo fast. It's crazy
Exactly!
She's an "actor" so it's instinctual. It's like when the director yells "cut!"
Two things that really stood out to me:
1) She kept repeating the same phrases for different incidents and there were times where those kind of repetitions made no sense. She said several times that she was surprised about his behaviour ('I remember thinking did he just hit me', 'I remember thinking did he just kick me'). It sounds awful but how is that surprising? You say he's been abusive for 2 years, how do you still not expect it? At the same time, she also says that she could tell when things got bad. So again, you shouldn't be surprised? It makes no logical sense.
2) She repeated over and over again that being punched or hit didn't hurt. She only once said that she was in pain at an incident that made no sense: After the headbutt, she felt pain and thought her nose was broken. However, that was after she had already alleged to have had a broken nose once before and after the SA incident. How is that the one that stood out?? And how did she never feel any pain before? This is in line with what Dr. Curry said, that Amber needs to be the hero and the victim at the same time: She's the one being hurt but just shrugs it off.
I haven't believed her because of the evidence for a while but seeing her testimony live like this is a whole different ball game. It has made me so angry and I really hope the jury will hold her accountable for it.
Yes, agreed!! She kept saying “it didn’t hurt” and I also found it interesting how she never ever remembered how violence started and often didn’t remember how she got from one place to another. As someone who has a loved one who also has a huge victim complex, it sounded all too familiar. “He just started choking me” while failing to mention you hit him first, etc.
her tone was one of contempt. it sounded like she was blurring the facts of the events. when she described the wino event, it sounded more like jd was the one laughing and she was the one slapping. then when she said she thought if this was a joke, i believe she was thinking that while slapping jd.
My opinion, the reason she could remember the pain of the nose and not the others is because it actually happened. But not the way she described it. It was one of the only injuries that both jd and ah described.
As if her testimony wasn't bad enough, her "scared of Johnny" stunt when court was excused as well as posing for a pic while fake wiping her nose with a kleenex tells us everything we need to know about who she really is. Ridiculous.
EDIT: Upon further review it looks like the light on her face when she's holding the tissue to her nose is in fact coming from her monitor. That's not to say that she wasn't posing for a photo-op for someone on her team, we'll have to wait and see if that was the case. None of which excuses her from making a mockery of abuse victims/survivors which in and of itself is despicable.
She also definatly sniffed SOMETHING....ZERO DOUBT ABOUT IT...
Nothing says scared like gifting your supposed abuser a large knife.
I'm almost positive that (had we been allowed to hear what he said to her when he walked over there) that he was angry that she brought his kids into her testimony. It's the only time during the whole time she's been on the stand that he even gave her the time of day.
@@wendyzcafe868 I don't think Johnny was going to speak to her, wouldn't have looked good for him. My thoughts are the day before she clocked where his team stand at the end of the day and so she planned this out as a final stunt for the media to talk about over the week long recess.
@@wendyzcafe868 but you can see that Depp was facing to the side and seemed to talk with someone behind him, then turned his head forwards and noticed Heard's little act. I am pretty sure Depp didn't even think about her being there and surely wasn't going to say anything to her.
We really, really appreciate the time you're investing in putting this out on your channel. 10+ hour stream days plus a video recap each morning? You're making this easy to follow. Thank you!
Right?! She puts in so much work! I'm glad she gets highly rewarded with donations because she deserves it! This panel helps make this better to watch/listen to
Yes ! She also gives credit to some one who helps her edit ❤ which I appreciate! We appreciate this dream team Legal bytes has
@@shane401 it helps me understand so much !
Agreed
I completely agree with that, namesake!
Im a flight attendant, I was SHOCKED when she said a cabin crew took drugs with them, we undergo regularly random drug and alcohol tests, is a rule from IATA, and besides that our job is to ensure the safety and security of the flight and be alert at all times.. @/justiceforjohnny
Do you work on private planes for celebrities?
@@fernandaolivares7926 I've been on plenty of private jets. The flight attendants, if there is one, are just as professional as a commercial airline. However, if there isn't a flight attendant, the pilots fly with the door open so they can monitor the cabin. What if someone in the back had a heart attack? So I don't understand how the pilots or a flight attendant wouldn't have witnessed Amber being kicked and thrown to the floor of the aircraft.
@@fernandaolivares7926 do you work in the airline industry? Are you aware the FAA governs private flight regulations almost as strictly as public? Are you aware a private jet, flying in and out of a public airport, can disrupt the flights of dozens of public flights if it's not operated safely? This is why the FAA still takes private jets seriously and expects them to play the same rules as all the other jets sharing a public space (the airport).
@@rh6625 will the pilot and attendant be called onto the stand.....I think not!
@@jakestine4753 My best friend has a private plane and trust me, many stuff that happems in private planes is not on your regulation manual, if you don't understand money rules the world you are living in a lie.
I remember as a kid listening to my siblings recount their version of a fight to my parents after being asked "What happened?" Inevitably, the instigator of the fight would leave out crucial details, embellish what happened, or flat out lie in order to make themselves look as innocent as possible. Amber's testimony feels like listening to that. It didn't work on my parents and it won't work on the jury either.
When we were children and fought, my sister would bite herself and say that I did it. She was always caught because the teeth marks didn’t match, but she kept doing it and swearing it had been me. 😂 The thing is, I often DID hit her, but she then took it too far by faking a bite and ended up the one in trouble. If she had just told our parents the truth, she would have gotten justice instead of the opposite. Thinking about all of this, you make a great point. It’s all just too similar yet FAR worse. Wow.
Such a good point!
You’re lucky your parents were smart enough to catch your sister in the lies. Unfortunately I don’t think Amber got caught in her lies enough as a child and got cocky that she got away with it…
very good analysis of A - H testimony,
I think maybe her parents didn’t care enough to call her out
As a retired Trauma/ICU nurse as well as a severe abuse survivor I found sitting through her fantasy testimony repulsive. I've taken care of real abuse victims, real fractured noses, real black eyes, real torn scalps. Her non metadata photos aren't proof of anything. Knowing the mechanism of injury, had any of what she claimed occurred in these altercations, she wouldn't have been functioning for weeks after. Slapping a little ice and make-up on a fractured nose wouldn't make it TV-ready in less than 24 hours! She wouldn't have been able to touch it. The lack of seeking medical care of any sort after any of these incidents is also extremely telling. When medical personnel in her environment say they saw no signs or symptoms of injury following an event and noted so in their notes is also telling. California is a mandatory reporting state. Medical personnel have to report any abuse if seen, and the victim has no say in the charges. So the lack of the doctor, nurses, and police seeing what they are trained to recognize as abuse and are mandated to report and follow up on, is extremely telling.
💯 yes. I went through similar internal questioning watching it and the pictures don't match what she says she went through
thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. :)
Nailed it
in that case,
what's your opinion of her "expert psychologist" whose job is also to assist people involved in DV cases?
Yes! I hope someone in the jury is a medical professional so that they can really understand what a real injury looks like. She thinks people are that stupid to believe her lies
To me the biggest absurdity of AH's storytelling testimony is that she knew to document her case with photos. . . but . . . the photos she produces as evidence are largely undated . . . and of minor alleged injuries . . . (ie; mild bruise on the arm). She also has pics of JD asleep in a chair . . . (much like my Aunt Peggy on any given afternoon). Why in the world would she NOT document the bloody injuries she sustained from alleged hand beatings that JD's finger jewelry would leave . . . . etc ? ? ? ?
I was able to watch til the lunch break. Couldn't stomach any more. Agree totally about Ms Vasquez. Can't wait til her Cross begins.
Absolutely! The way she describes thing he was consistently and violently assaulting her physically and verbally. There would be so much to show if he was whaling on her like she so graphically depicts.
I want to know why undated photos can even be evidence?? You have no idea when they were taken. I feel like that should be an objection in itself.
like Why wouldn’t she go to the doctor and get medical documentation?
She posed for a picture while on the stand with tissue in her hand. She plays to photographers
She is horrible! I had a melt down during this. So many dv victims including myself was. she is truly hurting the one truly needed out of this. Prayers for Johnny
I was a prior victim of D A.
I had difficulty & was careful going into this trial due to the "rage" that was played up within the press, her OpEd publication & basic triggers I may experience.
I seriously felt victim impact during many parts of JD testimony, so much so that I needed to actually turn off the proceedings. I was "there" in my head space & shook up.
So this last week I treaded lightly & found myself in almost total disbelief while listening to AH. I do realize every story is different, but many of what she said did not make sense (as a victim of D A and D S V & A). First I actually thought she may just be feeling a bit of nervousness being on the witness stand, then I realized otherwise.
I felt myself (when I was on) the witness stand & omg ~ I was so totally different!
The truth is very hard to accept as a victim of Abuse - but in a court of law (for protection & consequences for the abuser) you're sworn to tell the truth.
Harder when narcotics & alcohol are admittedly involved in this trial.
To the point, no need to be led down a trail of hints, no fake embellishments are necessary.
The truth is forever embedded in your brain, it never leaves you alone. You learn to live, regain coping skills, therapy with professionals, etc.
I was undecided in the beginning of all this. I'm not a fan of either one. The only movie I've ever seen of either actor was Edward Scissorhand. No emotional ties to them.
I do not believe AH.
How sad it is to see a woman do this. It's like throwing 💩 at every true victim (men, women, children) front & center
In the publics already questioning view of any related issues regarding any type of domestic crimes.
Years ago I remember hearing about the abuse claims and just assumed it was true. I was surprised because Depp didn’t seem like an abuser, but still assumed it to be true. I don’t follow celebrity gossip stuff or court stuff. No interest of mine. I recently saw something on this trial and was hooked. I heard some tapes and said I think AH is borderline! (Later we learn she is) I have been listening to the entire trial now. I feel so bad for Johnny and I cannot believe the audacity and level of narcissism of this lady to think she could lie like this and just destroy someone’s life! It’s appalling. Someone she was supposed to have loved no less. She is an abuser though. Doesn’t understand what love is. It’s beyond scary she’s got a child.
Check out her 2016 testimonials, a very different person, mean and full of herself
The way she describes how she felt emotionally VS the physical pain in assaults is textbook how fakers will talk about non existent abuse. The only time she described pain is the headbutting incident, and she talks about the "searing pain" instead of any emotion, and to me that's the only event that could very well be based in truth. I believe it refers to a real though accidental headbutting incident while she was preventing JD to leave and he struggled and their heads made contact, something I think he talked about. It likely didn't break or even bruise her nose, but I've no doubt it hurt. Even mild impacts to the nose do.
She described really severe assaults that would cause mild to severe injuries yet presented non existent to light injuries, that's also odd to me. It looks like she watched too many action movies were people are thrown accross the room then get up just fine.
And I think that was a big mistake of her. She should have stuck with emotional abuse. That's very winnable and I do believe mutual verbal abuse happened. But describing that level of physical abuse, that's a high risk high reward stunt and if it backfires because the jury is even a little bit suspicious about that amount of histrionic nonsense, it's going to cost her a lot.
The headbutt is truth. It’s on one of the recordings (not the actual headbutt but then talking about it) and Johnny said it was an accident. She was pummeling him and he was trying to grab her arms to stop her and their heads collided in the commotion.
He even mentions it in his testimony.
Further, in the recording Amber tells Johnny she was absolutely shocked he physically hurt her. (Shocked? If she had been beaten and raped with a bottle?)
Of course it’s the only one she remembers pain.
It’s the only one that’s real but how it happened is a lie. According to the recording of them talking about it.
@@dingledo23 And the red nail polish on the tissue as she tried to pretend it was blood
@@night_ethereal yeah, but she covered that today...with the whole jerry judge pointed to her bleeding nose and gave her a tissue....(so can dispute she showed Johnny the nail polish stained tissue) Also, jerry judge has passed away so cannot confirm nor deny her statement about that. Just at her Dear Mum cannot co firm or deny that Amber talked to her about the violence as she has also since passed away. Too convenient....I wonder who her friends/collegues will be asked to stand up for her in court as any sorts of witnesses. I believe if we are expected to believe the stories of Amber that caused her so much pain and aguish...then she will need to provide a lot more evidence. Surely it would be expected she had needed counselling since....after her traumatic time with Johnny....so there would be medical reports yet to come? I doubt it....except that if her stories are correct...then the MeToo crowd would know and advise the counselling and its benefits.
czcams.com/video/mVoPkPFdxlI/video.html Finally its here
Those bruises look like they are from Botox injections lol hopefully the depp team can pull up ambers dr visits
I watched her take TONS of notes throughout the previous testimony. Now as she’s been on the stand, giving a clear performance, I can’t help but think she’s been note taking on the specific jurors reactions to the testimony of each witness in order to craft her own version in order to play into her audience more effectively. It’s stunning and I hope will be used in psychology classes in the future when studying personality disorders.
Seeing her stop to wipe a “tear” longer for a photo op, while on the stand was jaw dropping! I only hope the jury can see through this blatant disregard for their intelligence.
That's makes sense. She has observed the jurors and noted the what JD has said.
Probably rewriting her story according to the different witness testimonies etc.
I'm afraid she's not that smart. From what I saw she was scrabbling her name as a teenager, so she could get a photo OP.
I also think you are giving her too much credit. Prior to her note-taking, her facial expressions were inappropriate. She looked bored. She couldn't "hold character" for very long & a smile would creep onto her face. Or she'd look nervous, with her eyes darting around the room, as if she was trying to avoid eye contact.
I think the note taking was recommended as a way to control her facial expressions. It worked, I think. People stopped analyzing her expressions.
She still has a problem with "holding character". Often when there was an objection, she'd loose the cryie-face & put on a serious face; then go back to the cryie face.
Think about how much support a movie actor has to create a scene. She's having to be actor, director, costumer, & script writer all in one. She is completely inexperienced at three of those, & only mediocre at acting. Also in film acting, I don't think they have to hold character for very long. Maybe 2-5 minutes(?) If they accidently break character, it's OK. You just do another "take". It's only the very great actors who hold character for very long periods. Don't they take hours & hours to file a 10 minute section?
AH and her sister Whitney had a huge problem in their timelines during the UK trial.
I noticed all the note-taking too. I was wondering if she was taking notes to be able to line up her story better.
Some of the things AH said in all of her soliloquies seemed to be points that she was trying to rebut from prior witness testimony.
Agreed that Vasquez killed it yesterday! She was on top of her game. Firm but giving the soft tone to not seem rude
what I liked about that is she gets under her skin from the start, and from my experience with those kind of idiot narcissists is it's very easy to push their buttons and make them flip to show their true face.
I think what's important is it helps really emphasize Amber's quick shift in "emotion" on the stand. Every time she gets interrupted she forgets she's supposed to be crying lol
In french we have the expression "main de fer dans un gant de velour" which describes miss vasquez perfectly..."a hand of steel in a velvet glove"
That girl is a great lawyer!
Amber: “Johnny repeatedly said the only way out of this marriage is death, he was possessive and jealous and wouldn’t let me go”
Johnny on audio tapes: “maybe we just shouldn’t be together. I need some space. We need time apart”
Exactly this, nothing she says matches the actual evidence
+ He had been married for a very long time with a woman with whom he had two kids, for many years their marriage looked like a very happy marriage... but for this new one the only way out would be death?
Nice story, maybe, but she seems to have forgotten about the realistic part.
Then that part about her gifting Depp a knife with inscription "Until Death" in spanish. I am sure the abuser she is describing in her story is actually her.
He meant it would ve been his death. I believe she would’ve killed him and made it an accident and gotten Elon to bail her out.
👁👁🕵🕵♂️🕵♀️🕵♂️🔎🔬🔍
In my experience working as a psychotherapist with survivors of domestic and sexual violence, clients usually present with a lot of misplaced shame and self blame for what happened to them. I saw none of this in Ambers testimony which strikes me as really odd. If she is, as I am now believing, making much of this up, i suppose that shame is not an emotion she broadly identifies with.
Depp is though. Him being visibly disturbed by reliving the memory and having to admit to substance abuse had him slouching a lot, to the point where you'd just want to hug him.
Early on, I thought it was my fault.
However, years later, I see it for what it was.
Perhaps, enough time has passed?
I'm playing devil's advocate here.
I'm not a psychotherapist or in the Healthcare field at all, however, IMHO, what she did was affirm Johnny's expert's testimony of Amber's personality.
@@sarag1158 her testimony in the year of divorce and some of the abuse presented is even more sarcastic, with no signs of any remorse, stress, fear or anything. This way around (uncaring to sniffing crybaby) is not something the therapists could vouch for..
@@sarag1158 Thanks for sharing your experience. You make a really valid point. Often though, she is talking from her point of view back then. eg how wonderful it was at times, so I would still expect to hear it the shame/blame coming through when she's talking about the bad bits, and also in her explanations of why she stayed.
She admits to physically "hitting" not "punching" him on a recording. Same recording where she calls him a baby. She says she is not the one "b*tching" about it.
Same recording where she tells him to tell the world that she abuses him and see if they believe him.
ALL of this and more flies in the face of the picture she was trying to paint on the stand.
The tearless crying. The handkerchief photo op. The emotional swings in her testimony, almost as if instead of Vasquez saying "objection" that she was saying "cut!!"
Im sorry. I know plenty of women are horribly abused but Amber Heard is part of the reason that people are so skeptical about it.
Amber is obviously performing on the stand. I don't see how anyone could reasonably see it any other way.
Depp is no saint. But to categorize his behavior towards her as "sexual violence" is absurd.
No matter the outcome of this case, I can already see abusers walking into courtrooms across the country and claiming their victims are "Amber Heard 2.0". I think she may have single-handedly set justice back for DV and sexual assault victims 50 years.
I was thinking the exact same. It looked like she was working on a set, taking it scene by scene. It felt so odd.
Also, I know that not all people react the same way to traumatic experiences, but as someone that's suffering from PTSD myself, I know what it looks and feels like to get triggered by your trauma. In my experience there are usually two types of reactions: You either get totally overwhelmed with emotions or you completely shut down and act like a "robot". So if she would be as triggered as she's acting like there would be real tears and it wouldn't be that easy for her to stop crying once she hears the word "objection". Plus you'd hear some panting. But there's none of that.
I also think that Depp has a shit load of issues and is definitely not easy to handle. But after hearing the tapes and the testimonies I just can't see him being the violator. I truly believe that he kept leaving all the time which drove her nuts.
Its weird, because if AH was willing to say "we were both violent to each other", she'd probably have a good chance at winning. The case is about determining if JD ever initiated IPV toward her. She just has to prove he did, regardless if she did as well. But instead she's painting herself as a 100% blameless, helpless victim, which the jury already knows is false. She's shooting herself in the foot with a machine gun.
@@B_Bodziak She did. She absolutely did. The Feminazis have only her to blame now
@@Shadeadder Hey Kazoo, that is 500% due to her Cluster B diagnoses. They CANNOT accept or entertain culpability.
Amber starred at Johnny through his testimony, When she did her testimony she still stared at him he looked straight down me being a domestic violence survivor he's looking down because he don't want to have eye contact with his abuser
There is that plus the fact it would look bad for Johnny to stare at her, they'd accuse him of attempting to intimidate his poor defenceless victim.
Did you see their interaction when they led Johnny towards Heard to go for break, she ran back in the other direction like she was terrified. Same kinda thing.
To look at her makes him nauseous. 🤢🤢🤮🤮

Having over 20 year martial arts background, close to 10 year career in security, the registered nurses degree and an occupation as a psychiatric nurse in dis-embarking unit of children's social need assessment and intervention I can not but watch this testimony in a complete disbelief. I must agree with the screaming HPD traits. Also having seen bruises, broken noses, wounds, violence and abuse I really can not believe her side of the story in the least. Why?
1) (Domestic) violence tends to grow in intensity and frequency, as it starts small and grows steadily until the non-related people start seeing the marks, and soon rather open outbursts of abuse.
2) Bruises create a darker color around and under the inflicted area as the blood settles under the epidermis towards where the gravity pulls it and where the tissue is softer. Swollennes hardly ever is gone the next day unless the first aid has been applied to the inflicted area without a delay. Even with a "perfect" apply there is usually visible swollennes the next day and maybe even a few days later.
3) People who are traumatized don't switch their emotions from zero to one hundred and back like she did. There's almost always shame and regret included to the experiences which shows on the victims face. The memories are painful and usually are presented with more apologetic way (to characterize the victims presentation in verbal sense).
4) I challenge anyone memorizing series of events 6-8 years from now, to go them through inside your head and explain to yourself: who was there, what they did or said, what was the date and the time of a day, chronological order of events during each occasion, what was being served, how much you ate, how much the people you were with ate etc. - to get an idea how much detail people forget over time. Then I challenge you to discuss these matter with someone else who shared anyone of these events with you and see how much your perceptions alters from theirs.
5) And lastly I drop some keywords that each and everyone of you may google and figure out how they relate into this Trial: transference, projection, altered memory.
Excellent summary of what we are seeing. And a reminder that domestic violence is a real problem but Amber is not a legitimate 'representative of domestic abuse'.
Indeed! Preach!
When I went through trauma, IPV, I couldn’t remember details of anything for a very very long time! For us, the people who had experienced it, it’s very clear who really is the abuser, who really is the lier!
You are on point! Abuse,when it's happening the way she describes it, is very visible. Anyone can notice the real signs, the marks, the look in their eyes. No one in her close cercle of friends and family did report this kind of marks
Exactly! Her demeanor and words are inconsistent with victims of abuse. You usually just want to go straight to the point to not dwell on it to not feel the shame and sadness all over again, sometimes even making light of it all to unconsciously self-protect, _especially_ in front of many strangers!!
Victims struggle with telling the facts but the truth comes out simple to understand still. Abusers can easily tell lies in a theatrical manner, but the story is always too complicated.
The reaction when she brought up Kate Moss was absolutely golden. They know they've got her now. Might as well give Johnny the win right now.
Mark Twain said, "The less you lie, the less you have to remember." Can't wait for the cross-examination. Great review 👍
It was such a stark contrast from Johnny’s testimony. So different and honestly just horrifying to watch. I personally cannot believe any of what she has said so far even with the so called ‘evidence’ in the form of pictures. If she had broken her nose… she would look way worse than that! Not to mention her posing for a photo in front of everyone.. I always side with the victim and I just don’t see one in Amber Heard (yet).
Considering Johnny is the victim...
If JD broke her nose, wouldn't there be a shred of medical evidence??? Like an ER report? Anything???
@@elirien4264 EXACTLY! The kind of injuries and abuse she’s describing would require IMMEDIATE medical attention.
so im not an expert but wouldn’t you kinda need to go the doctor if you BROKE YOUR NOSE??
@@FutureFire1990 I agree! The only reason I say ‘yet’ is because there are technically still witnesses left to testify on her behalf. I don’t anticipate my mind changing.
As a recovering DV survivor - I can say her way of talking is exactly the way my DV partner used to talk when describing a fight infront of a councilor - the same faces and over reactions and puppy dog eyes and then wierd aggression and showing teeth and making out he was the victim - it might have been laughable if it wasn't so terrible. My DV might have felt like i had abandened them in a shop for eg with - a look - or a move - and then theyt would trigger and sit on it then when we were alone, out of the blue (for me) boom - i would be abused - but to him the abuse was not abuse it was justified retaliation. It was so agonizing hearing the lies and twisting it to blame me. I nearly commited suicide cos they smeared my name when I tried to get help over and over again. But thank god a few of my friends, family and councilors believed he was not telling the truth (I was silent out of terror I relied on others to own this for me didn;t want him to take our child). To his credit he owned it and now helps other outraged victims and I got to be apologized to and affirmed. Poor Johnny won't be getting that from her - she is doing everything and anything just to save face. Pathetic.
I watched some of the testimony but literally had to walk away several times because it was so painful to watch. One word kept repeating in my head while listening to AH testify.: Histrionic. I admire your efforts to try and stay impartial throughout your coverage of the trial. You have done a fantastic job covering this.
Her testimony was incredibly unbelievable. I'm upset she got on the stand and lied like that. It's so damaging to victims and makes me believe even more she is the true abuser. She doesn't care about anyone but herself.
What you said is all true for the average person, but remember(even though it is not part of the trial) her family seemed to not give her stability. She only has the world as SHE see it. Think of her life as a house of cards and this trial the wind. She is not as strong as she thinks and when the verdict comes it may implode her world. And no one should have to suffer that alone.
@@janebenjamin3458 I disagree with your last point. Violent, lying narcissists like AH should suffer alone; that way, she can't abuse or manipulate another victim. Besides, she brought any suffering she goes through on herself.
@@janebenjamin3458 unfortunately you cannot help people who refused to be helped.
My question is, if you get in trouble with the law for lying under oath, surely this means she will be screwed after this? She’s lying literally through her teeth
@@THE_CDN I am a first responder and I get your point. But we have to much hating and judging and others should hurt so we can feel vindicated.. But compassion is the greatest gift we have and we should show compassion when we can. Compassion does not mean letting people off the hook, but it doesn't mean linching them either.
The way she was playing off the jury and constantly staring at them is incredibly strange . I’ve seen so many trials I’ve never seen anything like that out of a victim. It’s like she’s putting on a show and they’re her audience.
On Law and Crime one of the hosts said it's a mostly male jury. I think it's also why she began her testimony smiling at them a lot and saying how she's not like the other girls and speaking extensively about her dad's hobbies. If she could I wouldn't put it past her to try more with them outside of court.
If I was in this jury I would be cringing and squirming with her staring at me like that omg
Jodi Arias did the same, constantly looking at the jury, and constantly writing 😂
@Pat. Her psychologist witness also did look at the jury at lot and it led me to believe that they both did so on instructions from Heard's lawyers. Future witnesses doing the same will inform us more on this possibility.
@@Jolluna Yea expert witnesses and cops will do that all the time but I’m talking about specifically out of a victim I’ve never seen a victim do that.
What stunned me was Amber’s pauses during the objections. She turned off the reactions and then turned them back on again when the questioning resumed. It was disturbing.
Do you mean like when you are on set? And you hear 'cut'?
This is why JDs atty kept objecting, even when she knew the judge might overrule. The jury got an eyeful.
The thing about her testimony, is that she is proving Dr. Curry's testimony to be 150% true. She called every single thing that Amber will do in this trial, before and on the stand, and boiled it down to the two Personality disorders.
> "[she] might mimic the way they dress, their interests, the way they talk."
> she imitated at least 3 different peoples outfits and hairstyles.
> "With Histrionic Personality Disorder, that underlying drive is to always be the center of attention."
> she paused for a photo in the middle of testimony, and doesn't look away from the Jury to ensure they're all buying in to her stories
> "... impressionistic speech, very flowery, very enthusiastic, but nothing's really being said the moment your attention wears away because they're so demanding for attention that's when they might take the victim role or the princess role and even make up stories"
> she told LONG winded stories with unnecessary details, and just when people were getting bored, the water works and heavy breathing come on, and the next "end of the world"
> incident unfolds. OR directly quoting movies and/or other DV victims because of their popularity and trying to come off as a true victim
> "She approached [testing] in a manner that very clearly minimized any psychological dysfunction, not just that, but really presented herself as free of any problems"
> despite multiple eye witness testimony, and even her own psychologists notes in evidence, she denied any drugs use outside of mushrooms, as well as never commented on
> herself having even as much as a single drink. There's also zero context to any of Johnny's alleged assaults, it's all unprovoked and out of nowhere. She's always 100% innocent
The main problem that I personally believe that people are having with her testimony is that she is being entirely too fake. She would be much more believable if she even admitted to something as small as "we were drunk/high and I said X as a joke and he didn't take it as a joke." There is just absolutely no way that she is 100% hands clean, especially after all the evidence and testimony that we have already listened to. Not to mention the REAL evidence that is inadmissible for this case. Watching her 2016 deposition was truly frightening. She tried to make the same comments Rihanna made about Chris Brown with "I looked at him and his eyes were blank... he was clearly blacked out" but if you watch those 2016 depos, there is absolutely no soul there. Her eyes are blank, and she is nasty.
At the end of the day, Johnny did this for the right reasons, to get the truth out there that he IS NOT perfect, but he is certainly not a "wife-beater." I have always sort of idolized, and when this issue first came about, it really hit me hard and I was disappointed that somebody I held in high regards could do this. Now, seeing how flawed he is, and how he is sticking up for himself in the middle of the #MeToo movement where it would seem he would have little to no chance, JUST to clear his name, I think I have more respect for him now than ever. Having been through a few similar things and never getting a resolution myself, I am glad he's showing EVERYONE the ramifications of "Guilty until proven Innocent." Cancel culture needs to end #MenToo
I've seen some of the video from her depo from the uk case. She was so arrogant and rude. A very stark difference than her on the stand. I'd love to see her describe the abuse in those videos to see. She doesn't come across as someone with ptsd from the events in those videos. I wonder if Dr Hughes saw those videos
Her testimony thus far, and the material evidence her counsel has produced in support of her assertions, simply do not square with one another. She described having been intentionally, and forcefully “head butted,” and then “pummelled” to the face with a closed fist till she “went limp” and felt like she was going to die. The photos entered into evidence, from supposedly a couple days after that incident, do not support her description of events.
I bet all the blood in the photos is Johnny's. So she's being honest saying it's blood. She's purposely leaving out who's blood it is.
Yeah it's like someone describing a book they never read. This is not how violence works. Just the imagination of a lady who's never had to deal with it in her life
Not to mention when she said she was trying to stand up but kept on slipping on the tile floor with broken glasses beneath her. But not a single bleeding wound on any part of her body.
It's like someone talks for hours about the amazing Ferrari they just bought and then they present you with a matchbox car.
@@dothelrofa1527 didn’t she do ballet two days after this alleged incident, sure there’s a photo showing that.
Here are some important and relevant points when it comes to this trial:
- Where are the witnesses of the plane fight?
- Where are the witnesses of the cottage when they were eating muchrooms?
- She gave Johnny a knife (lol).
- She married him even after so many years of horrendous abuse (which is also a pattern observed in some toxic relationships where there's codependency, but the same could be said about Johnny, that was undeniably abused by her).
- It is logically and obviously impossible for her not to have recorded nor taken pictures of her "punched" face (that, according to her, happened frequently). That fact gets more relevance since she has recorded johnny sleeping, drunk and screaming BUT NEVER he punching her or her bruised face. (That would be the least she could do).
- NOBODY has testified that they have seen a bruise on her (that's absolutely relevant when it comes to the cross exams).
- She's acting just like what Dr. Curry has explained. (What is not intelligent if she wanted to prove her wrong).
- We shall not forget the lie about Milani makeup (at the opening statement). bizarre, please guys
- At the begging of her testimony, she said the same exact phrases from a movie (I recommend searching for it).
- Her lawyers were manifestably and unapologetically rude and have NOTHING as an actual evidence, which was so clear in the past couple weeks. If they did, the case would be already over. (👨🏻⚖️ Hearsay I guess)
- There is a lot of factual evidence against Amber, but she probably won't enter into those details cause she apparently doesn't take responsibility for any.
⭕️ And the most important thing: if Johnny had something to hide, he would never fight for an open and public trial, which he did.
It's so obvious and painful to watch.
Ps: just wanted to add that Amber has met secretly with Johnny even after the protective order against him, by her own will. However, yesterday after her testimony she acted like she was afraid of him when he was about to leave the room.
Hope Johnny's Team can bring up an excellent and thoughtful cross examination.
Wish you all the best. ✨
" if Johnny had something to hide, he would never fight for an open and public trial, which he did."
well this one is not true, Lance armstrong also sued half of the world and won, and in the end we found out they were right and Lance was wrong
Right. I believe that if he had done such a horrendous thing as she outlined in Australia, he’d have been thankful the op Ed didn’t mention it, not push the issue. I imagine he would have given her money to shut up. This is a ruinous act.
@@milky.funland it is the more mediatic one, there are plenty of cases of people in the wrong persuing difamation lawsuits that are not as mediatic as lance
I think a very relevant lie is the red lipstick on the mirror and the claim that she doesn’t know who Carly Simon is… JD and Marilyn Manson released a cover of Carly Simon’s song “Your so vain” in 2012 when AH&JD were dating. The red lipstick said “Carly Simon said it better babe “ or something to that effect. It’s clearly a jab at JD’s remake of the song. It’s not believable at all she didn’t know who Carly Simon was or that she didn’t write the lipstick comment. Yet she claims she was asleep when Johnny damaged his finger and during the writing. The whole thing with writing in blood and paint is bizarre but it is possible/plausible he was in shock/drunk/high at the time. Her claims she was not drunk, was not high, and was just a good wife cooking dinner/sleeping/making her man coffee during his violent raging rape attack is less plausible. If a woman was just raped,is bleeding from her hoo-ha, has cuts and bruises all over… is she going to take 2 sleeping pills that would render her helpless and go to sleep while he is raging and awake?? Or is she going to call security, call a nurse, call police, leave, or do anything else? In the middle of a conflict situation, it’s completely illogical and goes against any self preservation to incapacitate yourself in the middle of a conflict situation that could be potentially fatal. And what she is describing is a fight or flight situation where she feared for her life and safety. Adrenaline is pumping from fight or flight… but she goes to bed and sleeps. I can’t comprehend how AH and her legal team think this is a plausible story to tell the jury.
The movie line thing has been widely circulated online but debunked. Check Snopes it explains the psychology of everyone believing and sharing that.
I really love how you summarized the testimony. You stay open-minded and present everything logically. The inconsistencies in her testimony and overacting really make her unbelievable. I really hope Depp wins this case
I find it extremely concerning that she was able to fabricate those details and lies - considering how dark and horrendous they all were. It makes me sad for all of the legitimate victims out there that are afraid to come forward when they are attacked. I just feel like it's impossible for her to have gone through such tremendous harm and abuse, yet has no reliable documentation. If she sustained any of those injuries that she claims she did, she would have needed medical attention - REPEATEDLY. Not just one time.
Her fine tuned details remind me of Sherri Papini and the little things she would go on and on about in her story (which all ended up to be fabricated in the end.)
Regardless, AH needs serious help and I truly hope she spends the time and puts in the work to try and fix herself. She is clearly just so unstable and I fear for the way she will raise her child.
She won’t! She’s a narcissist! She ll just get some other older actor that had abuse in his past and use him. She ll find new “flying monkeys” that worship her to do her bidding! That’s how narcs work and she seems to be the worst kind….a malignant Narc!
I found her testimony deceitful. In my experience, abuse victims especially women describe how things made them feel.
Her testimony was more like a cinematographer. Her breath fogging the window. The beautiful dirty rug. The beautiful floors. She described the scene & where a camera should focus for symbolism.
Aye. As any experienced interrogator will tell you, the guilty ones will usually try to overwhelm you with a lot of irrelevant and trivial information.
And she was literally quoting a movie and thought nobody would notice lmao
As an abuse victim, we would never showcase the violence without showing/feeling shame. We allow abuse to continue because we are wired to believe we caused it to happen because we deserved it. Messed up but true. If she was remembering, her account would include some self deprecating thoughts/expressions. That was not there. I could go on all day on this topic.
People with inflated egos tend to live life like it's a movie or a novel, because it allows them to live their most grandiose and most tragic fantasies while ignoring significant facts that don't fit their narrative
@@Berryations Really? The last thing I wanted to think about was my experience before taking the stand. In no way did I want to rehearse it and no one ever asked me to do so. Every time I have had to talk about it, I re-live it. I don't understand why you think recounting it ahead of time means you won't be emotional the next time you talk about it. In my experience, for me personally, it doesn't work that way. The only thing that has helped is putting lots and lots of distance (time-wise) between the abuse and the present.
When Camille would object and Amber was in the middle of a soliloquy sometimes she would continue by going back a few lines and repeating the exact same words. If that doesn’t scream scripted I don’t know what does.
This was so difficult to watch as a domestic violence survivor. When she discussed the bruises and blood, I almost laughed, thinking of the blood and bruises I sustained. She discusses her hair and scalp, yet, when my mother pulled me across the floor by my hair, my scalp released from the cranium with a loud pop. Immediately after, my head felt hot and wet as if bleeding although it was not. It took days for my scalp to “reattach” itself and my globs of hair did not look perfect and “freshly cut” on the floor.
Your description of being dragged by your hair made me visibly and violently cringe on your behalf worse than any thing Amber said on stand. 😫 I'm so sorry you went through that
Thats awful I'm so sorry you went through that
I am so sorry you had to suffer all that severe abuse from your mother.I feel so sad,hope you got the help you obviously needed and there were people in your life that could support you.
What I found most unbelievable about her testimony, is when she was describing the incident with the liquor bottle. If something so awful happened to me, I would have been burying my face out of embarrassment and horror and unable to look anyone in the eye.
I have seen better acting in an elementary school play.
A word of advice, never let 406 into your penthouse.
The grossest part to me is that people have actually experienced the abuse she alleges. A woman *died* in the same manner. Maria Nemeth was murdered by her boyfriend by disemboweling her with a bottle over jealousy, then wrote on the walls in her blood. He was convicted in 2017, before the article and this specific allegation came out. Its absolutely repulsive that this woman not only co-opted other people's stories for sympathy, but most importantly *she appointed herself as a representative for victims of violence YET IS A PERPETRATOR HERSELF* it's like letting the fox into the henhouse and it is deplorable. I cant wait to see her fall apart on cross. Disgusting lying liar who lies. She does not represent victims. She does not represent me, she does not represent Maria. She is a disservice to all of us who have ever experienced abuse. I think this also will go far in the public opinion about who is or can be a victim, how to compassionately hear a victim's story without blindly believing all accusations, and what a person who would have the audacity and reason to lie about such serious matters actually looks like.
@@khaightlynn5295 The whole thing reflects very badly on the ACLU. They need to vet their representatives better.
Her lawyer prompted her repeatedly about the shape of the bottle!
I felt exactly the same!
Did anyone else find her bottle testimony really weird, like she used “I felt pressure”. That what my obgyn will tell me before doing a Pap smear lol… and it’s not at all how I would expect someone to describe that horrific kind of attack.
It felt really odd to me as well..
@@a.h.9959 If she really received all that horrid abuse, personally I would get PROFESSIONAL documentation to have in court! All I have seen is her personal photos. If the abuse was as bad as she said the pics would be undeniable! The hair he"pulled" out looks as though she snipped some herself! Her scalp would be bloody and she should of shown "the pus"too! Liars are so used to lying that they think everyone should believe them and shocked and surprised when others cannot swallow their story!! I have personal experience with a liar and a woman who was borderline personality! There was NOTHING she would NOT do to screw over her ex-including hurting her own children's minds for loving their Dad and wanting to be with him!! A spider weaving her web! Leaving all those involved stuck in her web! of jealousy and manipulation! Once you come across someone like that it is not hard to recognize if you see it again-as I have in AH!!
@C C She was allegedly raped with a bottle, but for a while she thought it was Johnny's fist, so she went a long with it.
She asks the jury to believe she can't feel the different between a human fist and a glass bottle inside of her vag. Well done, Amber
The photo in Australia of the indentation on the wall, made by the bottle: this lines up with Johnny's testimony of her throwing 2 bottles at him, injuring his finger; the broken glass also lines up with his testimony.
First thing that came to my mind. It would take that kind of force to do the damage he said happened
Wouldn’t be the first time she’s pinched someone else’s storyline.
After seeing Amber's testimony, Dr. Curry was dead on with her testimony of histrionic personality disorder. This woman is very dangerous. And yes, I have first hand experience with DV
It feels like she has switched positions of what actually happened in every single fight and it is also very telling that she can never remember what started the fights (IE. her)
One thing I noticed a lot in her testimony was that she after seeing photos during the Australia incident, she would say "Oh I forgot, but seeing this now reminds me..." It happened twice and felt like it was only because JD did the same thing when seeing the cigarette burn on his face that he alleged she put out on his face after cutting off his finger. She's mimicked him a lot throughout the trial and it's really starting to come off as creepy to me
She also says "It sounds stupid" or "It may seem childish", "it may be hard to believe" constantly and it's almost like this is her true feelings coming out through her testimony because it's all BS.
On a side note, love your content! Didn't realize how much fun watching a trial could be, you all are awesome!
Yes, same thing with "I didn't even feel the pain"
Her testimony is dispicable. The world is not a good place with her contribution to it.
That's a succinct, polite way to put it. Bravo!
If there is a silver lining she may open more eyes to male victims
Yet she has her followers that hang on her every word! 🤦♀️
@@Lovbeinamom but you can trust that her followers are fighting their conscious because although they can suppress the truth, they can't ignore her embarrassing performance 🤭
@@entertainme7580 just a friendly correction: I think you meant "conscience". aka con-science.
My main issue with Amber's performance is that her emotions are always leading or lagging behind in an unnatural way. Amber being so emotional after recalling these events for the 20th time, (more or less) feel way too unbelievable. Part of why JD's testimony felt more believable is in the fact he was able to joke about it. He has told these stories many times, they are extremely dark and emotional, but his humor felt more natural from experience.
Exactly, she showed "pretend" trauma and her acting was not convincing. It was clear that she's faking it.
Exactly. Many victims don't cry on the stand. You've told the story so many times that you worry its coming off disingenuous.
Please explain why the judge is still allowing amber not to turn over her phone. Amber was told back in November to hand over her phone. The meta data is important. Cannot believe amber is getting away with this. Those texts and photos need to be examined for validity. OMG.
I think the Jury will be notified and it'll negatively impact her credibility even more. She's obviously hiding something and hopefully they see that.
Didn’t know this???
Only photos with metadata are being allowed in, hence the photos with very faint or nonexistent "bruises."
Honestly, when she began her testimony, on day 14, I actually started feeling bad for her, but as she went on, the way she talks, her manners, the constant looks to the jury, her crying without tears, all of it was off. Then I remembered what Dr. Curry had said and the way AH talks fits with HPD diagnosis. Today, while hearing her, I started getting so many questions in my head regarding the physical encounters that does not seem to match, and also, her constant "I don't really remember..." but then she went on details that seem too much for me... something is very off with this woman.
Sooo agree
I think the thing that really caught my attention is that she is graphic and even flourishes her testimonies, but there isn't really emotional substance in those statements.
Like, she says she felt "hurt" and "embarrassed" but... Nothing more than that. There is no fear, no pain (physical pain), not even anger when those "incidents" happened, it's just: this happened, it hurt, then this happened, it embarrassed her, and on and on
I felt the exact same. The beginning of her first day, I didn't want to believe her, because after seeing Johnny's evidence and his genuine demeanor during testimony, I fully believed him. But in spite of myself, at first I did start to wonder and doubt and feel for her and think it could perhaps be mutual abuse. But the histrionics kicked in, the horrible acting and obviously fake tears. It's like she was a stage actress really trying to sell it to her audience, the jury and cameras. That's not how DV victims act in real life. And day 2 she was 20 times worse.
Now, if she DOES have BPD and HPD, does that mean she CAN'T also have been actually abused? No, and perhaps she just can't help relaying that in her Histrionic fashion? Maybe she fears being disbelieved and due to her conditions she oversells the truth out of fear she won't be believed and is thus actually not believed. Perhaps. I will try to keep an open mind.. but I think I can only believe that if she had evidence to back her up, and I'm sure that's coming, but we'll see how believable and reliable it is.
@@sciencemama6801 To me, it felt very natural and truthful when she was talking about her childhood and even the begging of her relationship with JD, then she became grossly exaggerated and untruthful when talking about the physical and sexual abuse, and although I can see the HPD aspects of it, I do believe it had little to do with the truthfulness of her statement, meaning that I believe she was lying about that.
The issue is that for every big story with horrible injuries that she has there’s photographic evidence of her being totally fine and uninjured on the same day and the following days either by her own posts or paparazzi pics. if she had said something like “he slapped me,insulted me, threatened me, shoved me” it would be equally as difficult to prove or to deny so lots of people would be giving her the benefit of the doubt but instead she tells these stories with multiple instances of broken noses blood flying to the wall pieces of glass incrusted all over her body him kneeing her on the back and the bottle r*pe when there’s pictures of her in bathing suits without makeup and at dance rehearsals on the exact same days without a single injury in sight 🤦🏻♀️ and also there’s the recording of her being upset and yelling at him bc he refused to fight her saying “you never fight you always run away you’re a coward” so which is the truth?
Maybe he did hurt her on one or more occasions but bc of all her evidenced lies no one’s gonna believe the few truths
When Amber was going off about heavy coins in a piggy bank, the judge sustained a nonresponsive objection. The lawyer asked another question, and Amber just kept going where she left off like a prepared script that she didn't know how to skip forward to what was relevant to the question.
"Emotional deposits into a piggybank" - this is something that would be mentioned during couple's therapy. She has a narrative she wants to get out and just repeats it as if she is doing another movie take. There are other instances of this repetition of scripted lines but this one was so damn obvious.
Her testimony was like a writer writing their first novel, and not knowing how it ends, so she just keeps writing.
Hehe… Good visual
Very well said & on point. Also reminded me of a movie with alternate endings - Do you like (believe) this? No? Well, how about this? Keep throwing stuff on the wall and see what sticks for $100 million
Something I picked up on was how she said “All of a sudden . . . ” and “Suddenly . . . ” MULTIPLE times throughout her testimony. Using “suddenly” is something that a lot of beginner writers do--nothing really happens “all of a sudden” or “suddenly,” it’s just a weak description. In real life, when people retell a TRUE experience or describe an actual event, they rarely say “all of a sudden”--it tends to be a written phrase people use.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
It's great to see someone with a legal background analyze the case objectively and without all the Red Pill opportunism.
You should watch Emily D Baker as well. She's pretty objective on the trial.
She would've been heavily bruised, unable to see out of her eye, and probably needed stitches. From how AH is describing what happened to her, NO amount of make up could hide all that.
I can't wait to see her lose this case.
Mark Twain once said "If you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory" Her story changes a lot.
Did anyone notice Amber's age difference comments, like "twice my age" and that he apparently called her "kid" and "little girl". I feel like that in itself came across as an accusation
I noticed that. Also, she claimed he grabbed her by the pussy which was a clear attempt to connect depp to trump. I didn’t believe her before this trial but thought maybe depp was responsible in some way. Her testimony proved how insane she is.
As if she doesn't target older men with fat wallets. Kevin Costner said she showed up naked at his trailer after she had a fight with Johnny.
She was trying to illustrate that as an older man he is in a more powerful position. Even her recalling the story of him asking her over to his place to talk about Rum Diaries, a meet7ng where another person would be present but wasn't when she arrived reeked of a Weinstein setup.
@@SrslyAnnoyed really? I didn’t know that Kevin Costner thing but does not surprise me at all! The way she said things annoyed me, she’s not an innocent little girl
Yeah, I noticed it. She implies that she was practically a minor.
One thing that stood out to me was when Johnny testified he talked to the questioner or looked down. But she frequently talked to the jury. I felt nothing was real. And I'm very tired of all of her fake crying.
Not only has Amber flushed her "career" down the toilet, but has also insured that her legal team will forever be seen as clowns, that Dr. Dawn Hughes will be never be taken seriously again, and the new PR guy with the backpack and white sneakers will have only fools for clients.
I wonder if she wins or not that these people will ever be paid!
Honestly her testimony makes me visibly upset watching it. The things she's claiming that happened is absurd. Like she claims that she was beaten again and again. Yet all we see is pictures of a light bruising. If someone kicked you, bashed your head repeatedly against objects and punched you again and again you would have something more than a light bruise. On your temple
Right? That pic of her temple & cheek area looks like sheet marks after a hard night's sleep.
It's ridiculous. Broken noses are messy, black bruised from the bloodshot, swollen and BROKE. Eyes are black and bloodshot she's such a liar.
1. As a neuropsychologist I can say, all this exaggeration in testimony and CAPS-5 is consistent with BPD and HPD. she grew up in a very dysfunctional home and struggled to make herself look competent and lovable.
2. the source of her anger seems to be the fact that JD is BOTH a very rich successful actor and a very flawed individual. Because BPD hinders her ability to recognize emotions, to her, wealth and success come from an idea of personal perfection.
3. Personally, I'm deeply intrigued by her quoting The Talented Mr Ripley. Tom Ripley has BPD - watch the movie or read the book, it's pretty clear. I STRONGLY suspect that she identifies with Tom Ripley.
She didn't quote Ripley. It's been debunked. However someone said that she stole the plot (Frankly, I would say that she lost it 😁)
@@katanyajason3316 thanks. it made way too much sense!
It's incredible to me that Dr. Hughes insisted her PTSD must have been from Depp, and not from her childhood. Just silly.
@@shanepurcell8116 PTSD doesn't come from life periods, but from specific events. Given her CAPS 5 malingering detection and lack of match between symptoms, behavior and test results, the likelihood is that Dr Curry's assessment is correct she doesn't show PTSD.
This... and in her testimony, she said the bottle was broken. So, if he was doing this to her with a bottle, she would definitely need treatment of some kind. Even if the bottle wasn't broken, she would still experience pain. I remember the Talented Mr. Ripley stuff but I couldn't find it. I remember she used flowery words to describe her relationship in the beginning of her testimony, but I don't think she used the exact words. It hit people because I think the plot of her story lined up with that story. She just used other words to describe it.
You are amazing and thank you for the in-depth look at this trail. I am a DV survivor so I can’t watch the trail while she is on but your recaps keep me informed and keep my team Johnny banner waving. Cheers from New Zealand
I really appreciate you covering this in these recaps! I found it hard to watch once she took the stand so I didn't watch yesterday and the day before! It just made me so angry. I'll be tuning back into the live streams once direct is over.
I was a Vic of DV as a teen, into my mid 20s, and never had the courage to report it or speak up (shameful, I know, please don’t come for me lol). I have since redeemed myself and found my strengths. I say that because I sadly don’t find Amber Heard believable, and I hate that. I hate the fact that I am questioning her reports. But having been in a situation of DV, I didn’t document anything. I hid it all because I was so ashamed. Amber documented so much! Where are the serious injuries? Where’s the photos of those? Yes, she’s shown some pretty superficial bruising, but where’s the “felt like he broke my bloody nose” pic? Or the boot bruise on the back? Where are the tears? Twenty years later I STILL cry. And of all the witnesses, does not a single one have the character to speak on her behalf and validate what she claims they saw?? It feels gross to question, but I just feel if it were true she would have documented and a witness would speak up, even if they were fearful of backlash. She is just not believable. If she is being truthful, it’s truly awful and my heart hurts for her. If she is lying, she is absolutely diabolical! I feel bad for doubting her, but just can’t help it. So sad either way. Tragic. Anyway, just my thoughts. Keeping this couple in my prayers, either way. Thanks for the content
well said! I'm there with you. Also, keep in mind this is about the op-ed where she claimed her claims.. her being selfish and opportunistic every time is significant and the characters she's presenting seem impossible, to me at least!
I’m sorry for what you went through.
@@stevenewman319 hate to say it but I agree! Such a strange thing for me…questioning a vic.
@@bmom3191 so sweet. Thank you. 💚🙏✨
Watching her testimony yesterday, I started off completely on Johnny's side, but I was questioning that after a while. I don't know if she's lying, obviously everyone in the world thinks she is. But what if it did happen? I agree, either way it's tragic. I did want to mention that I went through a 10 year DV relationship, trauma, and I am able to talk about it with zero tears. I do think different people process things differently. I any case I'm happy to hear you're doing well today 💕
She described everything with the same wavering emotion which was surreal to watch. The alleged abuse was described with the same tone as talking about logistical details, like flight plans or something. It just feels very insincere, like she's just trying to make sure the jury sees how sad she is
It got really tiring after a while, I actually fell asleep for an hour while she talked. This constant hysteria... I don't think her team realized how annoying and fake it sounds if you hear this for hours on end. They likely rehearsed it in chapters.
Thank You! Love the recaps!
Tremendous recap. So intelligent and knowledgeable and I can't wait to watch more of your coverage on this trial!!
I think her testimony strengthens Dr Curry's assessment of BPD and HPD.
over embellishing, manipulation, going from one portrayed emotion to the next and back to neutral very quickly etc and her constant glancing at the jury makes me think shes looking for cues from them to see who is reacting to her carefully selected emotion at the time.
considering her performance the last couple of days, id say this whole acting thing isnt going to work out...she would make a fascinating case study for psychologists though
I couldn't wait for this video!!! I hope the truth comes out! I do belive JD was the victim, and AH needs a lot of help, people like her are just miserable in their lives, can't wait for the what the next few weeks will show us!
help? What sort of "help" lol. She needs to be locked up. I know that isnt on the table in this case (its a civil case), but that IS what she deserves.
help lol, wtf.
@@Wimpymind People with high levels of empathy want to see her get help. I however don't care whether she gets help or not. The best thing that could happen is that she is exiled from Hollywood. Her peers and the industry at large see her as a liability. They will put up with talented unstable people but she's neither.
Her disorder prevents her from seeing that she needs help.
She's a sick person, she does need help. I hope justice is served and Johnny wins the trial and gets his life back. I also hope she somehow gets psychiatric help. She really needs it
@@shortyp1000 I'm one of the people with high levels of empathy. Honestly, I think too much empathy a lot of the time. Anyway, I do feel she should and can get help, there is effective treatment for BPD and unlike many personality disorders it's not a lifelong condition, people can be treated and experience long periods of remission which is great. The thing is, this is a more common condition than people realize, more common than bipolar which plenty of celebrities suffer from and talk about. That means she's not the only one in Hollywood with this condition as it's not really something that affect your career, it mainly affects your relationships. I think Dr. Curry diagnosed her correctly, but that she may have found a doctor since then who has misdiagnosed her as PTSD, something that can easily happen as it's a fairly misdiagnosed condition.
Despite what she's doing and saying, she's sick and people forget that untreated personality disorders like this one can cause a massive amount of damage to the people around them. Consider what you'd do if you had the career and attention she did prior to this and suddenly had intense fear it would all go away and people would hate you if they found out you were lying. You wouldn't come clean, fear doesn't make people do that. Think of a child caught in a lie who embellishes the lie to make it more believable. Her brain is making her do just that, because she's unable to think of a way out other than to lie until people believe her. Chances are that at her age, she's lied often and well enough to where she's gotten away with it a lot and so believes that she can get out of this one as well. Is it as ridiculous sounding as some of the stuff kids come up with when lying? Completely. I feel bad for her that the people around her haven't tried to stop her and it sounds like some like her sister may be enabling her behavior.
I felt so bad (kind of physically) to dismiss her „bottle-Story“. But i still can't believe her! A simple Gynecology-exam should be able to verify scarring. Especially if the cuts remaind untreated
It didnt happen, she even said she "didnt focus" on the pain later on🙄 and pretty much went about her day. She even went out the next day
Thanks for what you're doing. Awesome coverage
Basically Amber has written a script for her movie so that if she wins she have her testimony set to film. She’s truly a menace to society and needs to be stopped!
I do agree, but she might be able to sell her story of being the biggest liar and false accuser of DV and SA to Netflix.
Being that my mom is a lot like her it wasn’t hard for me to see she was lying from the beginning but honestly I think most people could see it - it was just that bad. My mom has done some spectacular lying and tarnished peoples name, including my own, for the sake of attention and pride. Very sad what they do to others they supposedly love. My mom should be in jail for at least three different crimes but got out of the consequences by her manipulation of others. These people are scary.
I am so sorry you had a mother like that. I wish I could send you a potted double blooming gardenia tree with its white blooms and beautiful fragrance as a reminder that when nothing seems to make sense, we always have nature as a place in which we can escape, be still and think big thoughts.
I have someone in my life who tells horrific lies about loved ones and others. I'm sorry you have to suffer this by your own mother. Some people are too toxic to have relationships with. It's sad but protecting yourself is important.
@@peskypirouette7388 I have one like that, too.
Thanks for sharing, it must be heartbreaking. I also struggle with family history, it's so difficult and sad to deal with. Best wishes to you ❤
@@peskypirouette7388 thank you that’s so very sweet. I love gardenias!
This was fantastic, concise and informative! Thank you!
Given her detailed descriptions of the alleged physical abuse, and the injuries that would typically follow said abuse, you'd think she would've received some medical assistance. Those professionals would be legally obligated to document said injuries and the treatments.
Aside from the lack of documentation, she would be able to present scars of the healed wounds if they had ever existed.
The recordings are proof enough of her abusive nature, both emotional and physical, and no terrified victim would speak to their abuser the way she spoke at Depp.
She's lied under oath multiple times now. If the scales don't find true justice here then what little faith I have in humanity will die.
She used the word "velocity" in her testimony. Johnny threw objects with such "velocity." That made my ears perk up. I, now, sojourn to Mr. Depp's finger being cut off. Johnny insisted that he cut off his finger to the surgeon. The surgeon knew this was not the truth. That this injury happened with incredible"velocity."
Exactly, she took notes and those words or scenarios stuck when her and it was like she knew she had to counter that. She also slipped in “I don’t remember talking to…” I think it was Ben? The butler?
I just watched a video on another channel (popcorn planet, they referenced incredibly average- another channel) where they have the audio of the finger incident. The doctor and the nurse are there trying to figure out what to do and to find the fingertip. Amber is crying saying I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. The doctor points at how she is displaying guilt.
It is obvious that she did it, especially after listening to that tape.
It’s so amazing to me that JD, even with all the abuse, still tried to spare her public image and not tell the world that she cut his finger until he had no choice.
This woman is pure evil.
I was watching along with your stream and I was fascinated at how you all began to doubt her the longer she went on. Her first day of testimony had some red flags, but on this day she was so disjointed that it's turning her entire testimony into a red flag.
She described him being insanely strong despite having lost a lot of weight; she says he's super fast despite claims he's usually drugged up and incoherent; she claims she was cut up from glass but was able to walk around and had no evidence of cuts; she claimed the photos by Ben King were all taken AFTER there had been a clean up and that Johnny had written in blood and paint on the walls; she claimed he used a wall mounted phone which can't be seen in the photo but there was a landline about two feet away; she claimed Johnny's team witnessed her being assaulted but did nothing; she says she has flashes but remembers direct quotes; she says she felt a bottle that she couldn't see but from looking at a photo she suddenly remembered that the bottle in that photo must've been the bottle used; she said he was punching her in the back of the head but has bruises on her eyes and a broken nose; she says he ripped her hair out but her photo shows zero evidence of this (no blood, no scalp damage); she claims he broke the bed but said he face was down in a pillow; I could go on.
There are too many holes in her statements and her demeanour and behaviour is not reflective of her behaviour on the tapes.
Personally, I doubt her testimony because, as an actor and someone whose taught acting, her habits and technique was very clearly on display. It looked and felt performative. But if I were going in blind, if I'd heard everything before this and listened to her, I'd be baffled and have more questions than answers. And not questions for Johnny.
She said there were two unopened bottles when she came down the next day and she remembered wondering where they came from (at the time, I assumed she was going to say someone must have gone out and bought him more). Then she sees this picture, begins to say these are those two bottles, but then changes direction and says that the square bottle must have been ‘the one’. These bottles are empty. And nicely placed on a paper towel, on a desk, (next to a landline phone). My brain just can’t put the pieces together.
@@AC-xq8me The way she changed her memory of the bottle was just way too obvious. And it may have killed her story. Looking at the shape, I remember the feeling, not the pain, the feeling of the shape and that shape of the bottle of that bottle in that photo there that we're just about to move on from but I need to point out before we move on.
It was like she forgot her line and realised she had to get it in.
One thing I felt discredited AH massively was the account after the alleged SA with a bottle. She mentioned worrying that the bottle was broken.... on that worry alone I would go to a hospital or at the very least ask my private nurse to look at it or at the very very very least go into the shower and try to wash to make sure there wasn't any broken glass inside of me. Then the aftermath... she said she was bleeding but no bloody sheets or bedclothes? But there are pictures of blood drops on the sofa? Then she said she got up and walked down the stairs and made a cup of coffee the next morning. I would imagine that after such an assault that one would be extremely sore, and not want to get out of bed. Then she doesn't mention anything about using a pad or cloth or tissues to stop/catch her bleeding. Then on top of the SA you would have been thrown around on broken glass and punched repeatedly, and you're just walking down the stairs? And no one saw anything? Or they are all too loyal to Depp to help you? Not a believable story to me. Horrible, though.
Surely also you'd be really worried you'd been rendered infertile. I know a woman that happened to ☹
She couldnt tell if the bottle was broken, or if it was still inside her after the "attack" but she testified that she could tell it was square-shaped. Uh huh.
Great job. You are my go to source for info on this case.
My observation on Amber's testimony: Gee, it must be hard to cry with no tears if you're really feeling what you're feeling
Don’t worry the press will photoshop those in post testimony.
For me, when I watch anyone who is expressing extreme upset whether it’s a lost child or spouse I look at the “crying face” and no tears. She clutched that tissue and it remained dry.
The second thing was how she always was trying to get away from him, but the tapes have her always saying he’s running away and to stay and fight.
The Boston flight had her describing all this verbal and physical abuse yet the tape had him in the bathroom basically incoherent. I highly doubt he would have been able to do anything in that condition.
And with all her “beatings” and Johnny “slut shaming” her look at practically every dress she wore to premieres or events. They were very revealing and never one bruise-bruises take awhile to go away. And if she’s an actress (who obviously had a nose job) she NEVER went to a hospital or even Urgent care. Her eyes would have been really dark or black and her nose looked fine. Those bumps on her head looked like Botox injection marks-I’ve had it.
I am really waiting for cross examination because when you lie, you have to remember everything you’ve said and she can get really tripped up.
Like when she said Johnny painted on the owner’s paintings Ben King said they were fine. And I’m sure there are pictures still that we haven’t seen. Sorry to go on but I find her so vile and disrespectful to actual survivors of DV. Thanks for your legal expertise on this. It’s very helpful
As someone who has gone through very traumatic DV and tried my best to go through proper channels for justice, going to court and LOSING (used my medication and drinking against me to make the judge believe it was a "fair fight" because I finally fought back) this case is incredibly frustrating. The judge in my case even agreed that DV occurred but couldn't 100% say my abuser was the aggressor. I say this because if Amber wins simply due to status I am going to be incredibly livid/disappointed.
I haven't formed my opinions yet, and honestly my opinion doesn't even matter, but what's with all this armchair analysis of Amber Heard's body language (and not of Johnny Depp's, but also in general)?
@@Jennaros1ty Sorry for your experience. But remember, this case is being decided by a jury. They will not parse things the way a judge does. Juries are incredibly unpredictable!
@@regisphilbin222 you have not made an opinion yet? Lol
@@regisphilbin222 armchair analysis? Well I guess we all pick up on what we have experienced in our life before. I was accused of DV from a ‘friend’ who started an argument, then proceeded hitting me and when I pushed back called the police on me. She was so dramatic over the phone that they wanted to send an ambulance. I see the exact same behaviour in AH. Her mannerism, the way she is focused to be as convincing as possible, it’s all very telling. And as someone who had to prove their innocence, I massively sympathise with JD. It’s absolutely horrible, except that his case is 10x worse as this is so public and high profile. Just try to use your common sense and you’ll see instantly who is the abuser here.
Great recap. You really know your stuff and explain it extremely well. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I watched the whole LebalBytes stream, and you guys' commentary was the only thing making it barely bearable. I still had to pause/mute the stream multiple times for me to recover. It was that bad to watch. Love your and your panel guests work. see you in 10 days for more! You guys managed to get me interested in law stuff, no small feat I might add. Have a good break y'all
Amber is always 'I was bubbly and you know happy' when she took drugs. But when Johnny took them he was violent. She was always constantly the 'good guy'. Never does she ever make herself out to have any fault or the bad guy. And there no way Johnny, having been an actor forever and knowing his worth, he wouldn't have forgone a pre-nup. Tons of inconsistencies. That fake crying too. You can tell she is acting.
Sadly many testified about JD behavior under drugs and they are consistent saying that JD demeanor were almost the same with or without drugs. Her testimony is the only different.
We all handle trauma differently but the way she recounts her alleged trauma is so far from my experience. Even when she is supposedly crying and then notices the photographer, I couldn’t imagine being in the present moment enough to react to a photographer because I’m pretty sure I would be stuck in my head having to recount everything to such detail. Getting interrupted in general I imagine would make me shudder trying to stop the flow of emotion instead of drawing a completely blank face.
Love the way you phrased this, by providing further important evidence to assess Amber's credibility (or lack thereof), while phrasing it in a very blanced way, making sure to talk about your own experience. Super valuable to have input from someone with actual personal experience of how trauma can effect memory
I personally don’t have experience w trauma, my heart goes out to you! Correct me if I m wrong but wouldn’t a victim of trauma have their head down and not make eye contact with their abuser and not be looking at the jury constantly?
I also wouldn't be able to go through all the ugly details of my trauma without heavy sobbing and crying. From my experience, people usually either react hyper emotionally or show a total lack thereof. So her "performance" doesn't make any sense at all. I wouldn't be able to look at all these people. I would probably solely focus on my lawyer or just stare into the abyss. And most definitely I wouldn't wanna be photographed being in such a horrible state.
@@KG-cc6qx So for me I can talk about the high level stuff, it happened, generally why it was so traumatic, the process after, with eye contact because I've done it a lot and make a point to not shy away from talking about it. And she will have been drilled on this story again and again so some eye contact should be expected even if it's about something most of us would lower our gaze during. The thing that gets me is the (complete? I don't watch every hour) lack of the "1000 yard stare" during the intense parts.
In my experience, it's not about not being unable to make eye contact but being unable to stay in the room I'm in and instead be completely in my head. It's also very common for recounting intense events even if they aren't realated to DV/SDV and I think we saw JD encounter it a few times. He just didn't seem present while he was talking because he was in his head remembering/reliving.
On the more general thing you pointed towards which is interacting with an abuser... the knife thing was f-ing insane. For reasons I won't get into I ate dinner with the guy who was my perpetrator much later and even a fork and a butter knife in public had me on edge.
@@jessicas253 I feel you. I feel like I get a blank face/wide eyed, stare into the void, and then sometime tears fall without proper facial expression but I don't really have a mixed bag that can be stopped and started once I get going.
I think I'd react more like you with the lawyer. One safe person to hold onto in a court full of cameras, my perp, and strangers... yeah, I'd look at them and no one else, or else no one at all. The cameras for me would be particularly triggering so I didn't know if it is unusual for most that she wasn't freaked out by their presence or just bc of my specific traumatic experience.
You were very incisive, cogent, logical, fair & easy to understand. Thank you. 🙂👍
Holy crap this was an amazing breakdown of the intricate aspects of testimony. Thanks so much.
Its horrifying for me how alive she comes when she is on stand. so loud, vibrant, energetic and even optimistic. its shocking which fantasy she has and research she did and moreover what criminal energy of lying she over all these years reveals. This is a even a threat for us, for the society. I hold different degrees in psychology and I am not a fan of distance diagnoses but I am wondering why no one diagnosed her with sociopathy.
But what ever this lady has or even when she wins this case - the damage she did on one of the most vulnerables groups in our society:
People who survived domestic abuse and People with mental illness - you can't make this right anymore.
And I am scared what we will see the trial, a full day for her again for a testimony and even then a second day maybe only a few hours but even then 10 or even more hours of her lies - its absolute horror.
"But what ever this lady has or even when she wins this case - the damage she did on one of the most vulnerables groups in our society:
People who survived domestic abuse and People with mental illness - you can't make this right anymore."
😢
When she returns to the stand on the 16th, she is not going to be that animated anymore. Lol. She, her lawyers, and PR team are all watching these CZcams videos, reading social medias, and will take into account our voices of what she had been doing wrong. Then they will tell her not be too animated, don't talk so much, don't be too detail, don't look at the juries so much, don't pose for pictures, etc. Etc. Etc. But most importantly, they will urge her to work on crying TEARS! Not air, but tears! 😄
All she sees is dollar signs! A 100 mil. Payday for this performance is all she’s thinking about!
She has been diagnosed with sociopathic personality disorder. I remember it being read as part of one of the doctors notes. It lead to an entire discussion with my son about what a social path was so I’m certain it was included. After reading about sociopaths I clearly see her engaging in dupers delight. I saw some clip in the past few days of her original deposition where she couldn’t stop smiling after listening to some of her accusations. She tried to cover her mouth to hide it and ended up eating something to stop it, but it was literal glee.
It’s people like DR. Dawn Hughes that is responsible for this. Instead of treating her client she was concerned about her $500.00 hr. Pay check
I think the point she was trying to make with her prenup story was that she wanted to prove to Johnny and his family that she wasn't after his money. She's trying to contradict Johnny's story where he said she had an issue with the idea of a postnup and that's what started the Australia fight. She's saying "see, Johnny's story can't be true, because I wanted a prenup.....I'm not a gold digger, I'm a saintly beautiful angel who went out of my way to protect Johnny's money." Unfortunately, she has no credibility and I don't believe a word she says.
Ya it's also hard to believe if AH wants the prenup cause i legit sure JD wealth is way more than AH that he'd not even interested to get AH money, why would she get prenup? JD story makes much more sense to me
Especially since it's been shown she took the money from him that she promised to charity and ran instead.
Which just screams immoral gold digger.
She also said when he found out in Australia that she hired an attorney to represent her, he called her attorney and fired her. He can't fire HER attorney. That is not how it works.
Let’s not forget all the times she claimed to have refused to accept expensive gifts from him.
Especialy after the accountant decribed her divorce demands and fact that after Johnny paid the charity donations on her behalve she demanded double the amount. 🙄
I appreciate the time you and the other attorneys are giving on this channel. There is something both parties left out regarding the Joshua Tree Hicksville testimony .
These recaps are so great!! You are so good at doing highly substantive reviews. I know it's old news now, but I still seek clarity. Thank you!
There was one specific thing that she said while allegedly being on the bed and being hit. That she couldn’t even scream, she could barely breathe. Then at the end she said the last thing she remembered was the sound of her voice screaming.
I hope JD’s team can bring up her previous dv arrest for the jury to see, the pose for the photo while being so sad, the article from peoples magazine of her playing the guitar and singing (its somewhere on TikTok) while she claimed she never played the guitar. Even Brad Pitt twitted support for JD. It’s so unfair for JD
I caught the same thing. She said she screamed until she couldn't scream anymore. And then she turned around, and said she couldn't breath and couldn't scream. And then I think she repeated she was screaming.
Read somewhere that usually Judge or Lawyers ask an Emotional witness “are you okay” “need some water??” Things like that. But no one offered Amber anything. I think no one believed her.
Interesting observation. If you watch Kim Potter's testimony (she was a police officer who fatally shot a man at a traffic stop) she's distraught during her testimony.
First day on the stand, her lawyer asked the judge for a break, and the judge said No!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful breakdown,it very painful to watch her actual testimony.
Really brilliant and concise legal analysis. Thanks for posting.
Did anyone feel that at the beginning of Ambers testimony when she was talking about breaking horses with her father that she was trying to establish an explanation of her defiance towards Johnny during alleged abuses? So rather than showing fear and cowering we would then “expect” her to stand tall, not back down, and not show fear because that’s how she approached breaking horses? Just a thought.
Yeah, thought so too
Or her experience dealing with drug dependent men.
Or it also be viewed as the same way she broke horses, she broke JD... also a thought
Yes Elaine talked about the stupid horse stuff at length too, they're trying to explain why she sounds like a raging bitch on the tapes and never like a victim. Except I think it backfires because it basically looks like her dad taught her how to be unempathetic and abusive at a young age.
@@dreyaxo3440 exactly especially with her dog training audio of "Couch, I want couch, couch, couch" it's like she was training a dog to sit
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but when she mentioned Kate Moss and the staircase, Johnny’s team cheered.
1. She admitted that she hit Johnny by saying she swung at him. Remember: Day 14 she said she NEVER touched or hit Johnny now she’s saying she swung at him. This proves that’s she’s the aggressor and physically assaulted him.
2. She mentions Kate Moss (Johnny’s ex), which means now they can bring up her past relationship where she was abusive.
3. Kate Moss said that Johnny never hit her or anyone around them when they were together.
She contradicted her story.
Just a few notes I took during the trial. I can’t wait until Vasquez buries Amber during cross.
TYVM for that info. I had no idea why the mention of Kate Moss held so much power and glee for team JD but it was clearly evident.
@@peskypirouette7388 yesss I was cheering along with them. Amber buried a hole for herself
And Travis said he was on the stairs in between her and Johnny. Not Whitney. Another slip up.
Notice she never mentioned Vanessa, Winona, or any other women except Kate Moss.
Ellen Barkin is going to say Johnny was aggressive but she was supposedly ticked off because he didn’t want a serious relationship with her.,
@@bmom3191 another good point. Her story doesn’t make sense.
@@bmom3191 I just hope redirect is someone other than that stumbling and bumbling buffoon that crossed the psychologist. Depp needs someone on cross that will hold her to the fire and not just say 'okay' and move on from obvious testimony issues. I suspect they were trying to save their time for AH though. Which makes a certain amount of sense. But there were several times during Dr. Hughes cross that I thought Depps team let her get away with stuff.
Have watched 2 recaps now. I love them, thanks!
I am really enjoying your videos and I'm so grateful that you are creating them. Your explanations are incredibly clear and easy to understand and you save me from feeling like I need to watch every minute of the proceedings so that I don't miss anything important. Thanks for having our backs, lady!
I've been watching the case through Law and Crime and recently with Emily. Watching with a lawyer's expertise has made the case easier to understand and I think has helped me remain objective throughout.
That being said, as a survivor of (a few) DV relationships, I do not believe her recounting of events. I hate saying that so much, but it feels like telling a friend about your trauma and they have to one up you somehow: so they tell you a long elaborate story that sounds like it came out of a Lifetime movie.
You have to sit there and comfort them while grinding your teeth and internally screaming, "how can you romanticize my ab*se?" It honestly feels like that's what AH is doing here, romantiscizing, *movie-fying* her version of events.
It feels slimy.
I was watching part 2 of the reaction from The Behavioral Panel (Who's Lying? - The Depp vs Heard Breakdown), which covers Johnny being questioned by Amber's lawyer. Having just watched Amber's very emotional account of some events during Day 15, I found it odd to see she was not emotional at all when those same events were covered when Johnny was at the stand. If those events were so traumatizing to her, how come she didn't react to it when others spoke about it? She's listening to the exchange between her lawyer and Johnny without any trouble. Not even zoning out, she's paying attention, moving her gaze from her lawyer to Johnny and back, not appearing stressed at all.
You are very knowledgeable and very easy to understand.
