Johnny, on the other hand, was the peaceful one, she said, while Heard was frequently intoxicated and verbally abusive, including to her own mother and sister. “Her poor sister was treated like a dog that you kicked, basically,” James said.
Laurel Anderson, a psychologist who counseled the couple, testified, that they were mutually abusive and that Johnny didn’t have a voice in their counseling sessions. Amber would also rather be in a fight with Johnny than see him leave, and “would strike him to keep him there,” Anderson said. “And she slapped him because he was being incoherent and talking about being with another woman,” Anderson said. She noted that Depp’s mother was in the hospital at the time. Anderson said Heard also told her that Depp at one point allegedly said, “No one likes you. You’re getting fame from me. I’m falling out of love with you. You’re a whore.” Heard “wanted to want to divorce” but also didn’t, and was still figuring out what to do, Anderson said. “She loved him. He loved her. She wasn’t stupid. She knew that what they were doing wasn’t healthy.”
Gina Deuters, Depp’s friend was excused when she admitted she had watched clips of the trial.
Dr. David Kipper testified, he tread Johnny for opiate addiction but resisted treatment until the reconstructive surgery for his nearly severed finger after a fight with Amber.
