One of the actor’s attorneys, Camille Vasquez, opened cross with a fast-moving salvo. “Mr. Depp hasn’t looked at you once this entire trial, has he?” Vasquez asked. “Not that I have noticed,” Heard replied. “You’ve looked at him though, many times, haven’t you?” Vasquez prodded. “Yes, I have,” Heard said.
“With all due respect, I’m not sure you know how that works,” Heard said, her tone almost incredulous. “You do? You testified you’ve done cocaine?” Vasquez shot back. “I have,” Heard said matter-of-factly. “It doesn’t really look like Mr. Depp or anyone was doing cocaine off that table, does it?” Vasquez probed. “Uh, I beg to differ with you on that,” Heard responded. “When you snort cocaine, typically it goes into your nose. It doesn’t stay on the table.
“How is it that you think you’ve got the date wrong?” Bredehoft asked. “I’m embarrassed to say I think I would have liked to believe that the period of time in which I [fell] in love with Johnny … and he wasn’t violent to me, lasted for a lot longer than it did,” Heard said. “I think I would have liked to believe that I wasn’t hit so early in the relationship and still stayed.
Heard also described an alleged fight after her 30th-birthday party on April 21, 2016, over Depp’s late arrival. Depp threw a large Champagne bottle at her in their home and tossed her phone out of the window, Heard said. At one point, Depp grabbed her pubic bone. “He kind of just pushed me down and held me down by it,” Heard said. Depp allegedly taunted her, “You’re such a fucking tough guy.” As Heard recounted this alleged incident, Depp appeared to pop gum or candy into his mouth.
