Amber would then go on to discuss when she auditioned for The Rum Diaries, and she kind of framed it as Johnny trying to groom her, saying multiple times how young she was and how much older he was, and how famous he was. She talked about how they didn't really talk until the press tour and then they just fell in love then. She eventually contradicted Johnny's claim that she got really weird once when she took off his boots by saying she didn't care if he took them off himself.

She discussed him criticizing what she wore and claiming that he would say "You're whoring yourself out" among other things. Amber's favorite phrase is "As stupid as it sounds" before saying what would be a giant red flag. She said it at least a dozen times during this.

She talked about the first time she said that Johnny hit her. They were hanging out and asked him about his WINONA tattoo he had, saying that she didn't know what it was. And he apparently slapped her for no reason and asked if she thought she was funny.

She said she laughed at first until he kept hitting her and she was on the edge of the couch, looking at the dirty carpet, wondering just how she ended up on that dirty carpet, and that she didn't notice how dirty that carpet was before, and what to do, and she didn't know how to react, and that she just sat there wondering how much time does she have left, and what she needs to do because god did he just hit her? No she didn't want to leave him, she didn't want to go because this was the man she was in love with and she knows you don't come back from that because you don't hit women and you don't hit men and you can't hit anyone just because she knew it was wrong and she knew she had to leave and that she had to leave that room and leave the best thing that ever happened to her and she wishes she could have said that she walked right out of that house and she drew a line and she stood up for herself, but she was just looking at that dirty carpet, trying to will herself to walk out that door because she needed to and she remembered just standing up and looking at him in the eye and she looked at him in the eye because she didn't know what else to do and before she knows it he starts crying and she's never seen an adult man crying before and she never saw her father cry at her grandmother's funeral it's weird and he grabs her hand and she says he'll never do that again and that he's so sorry, baby, and that he thought he put that fucker away and that he killed that monster and...

I typed this out just so you have an idea of how her testimony for these moments of assault she describes are. I don't intend to describe it in that much detail again, but I think it's important to kind of get an idea for how she presents these when she speaks. She just loads it with so much detail that so much of it gets lost.

Anyway, she also mentioned watching her breath on a window of her door and wondering if she had the strength to continue doing this before leaving. I should note objections have been on point for Depp's lead female attorney, Vasquez. She won the vast majority of them.

She continued to discuss how he'd accuse her of cheating and would shove her down and hit her frequently still. Many mentions of walking on eggshells. She also said he'd disappear for days and ghost her entirely and just reappear.

Amber told another story about how Johnny viciously hit her in the face multiple times and hit her arm, and they showed a picture she took of a bruise on her arm, but you can see her face clearly without a single mark or swelling on it, so what are we doing here? Also apparently he's always drinking a ton and just doing a bunch of cocaine before these incidents. She claimed she never did cocaine though, despite her nurse's notes saying she had an addiction to coke.

She also told a story about how him and her friends were all in a car and how he held his tiny dog out the window, so I guess he's also a dog abuser, and she talked about how everyone was calling and texting her about how stressed they were about it. Also none of them could testify to this story apparently because they are not being called.

Also, remember that picture of the neatly drawn cocaine lines and the full glasses of liquor next to his fancy cocaine box? Well, I discovered there are multiple drafts of this picture, with things either moved or taken away from it. So uh, seems pretty faked to me. Anyway, this was shown to tell a story about how he was too knocked out and was late to set.

Next is the story about how a bunch of them did MDMA and mushrooms and she claims that Johnny grabbed the girl who got too high and groping Amber and claims that she just bumped into her, and he grabbed hold of her arm tight and told this random girl and said she is touching his fucking girl. And he twisted her wrist and said "Do you know how many pounds of pressure it takes to break a wrist?" This girl was also not available for testimony to verify this story. She also claims that they went into the trailer, she tried to peacefully talk him down, and then threw stuff and she can't remember anything he said before, but she remembers verbatim that he asked where the fuck it is and not to lie to him and then ripped her dress and groping her and then did a "cavity search" in her private area for cocaine. And all she could do was just sit there and stare at a stupid light. She doesn't remember anything that happened the rest of that day, the morning, or the day after, but she DOES remember looking at her friends having fun in the pool and how they didn't know about what happened.

She also told a story about a plane ride to Russia where she opened by saying "That was the first and last time I ever decided to do drugs with Johnny, as stupid as that sounds." Girl just told us about a story where they both did MDMA, and started by saying they both did MDMA on this plane. Apparently a flight attendant came over, Johnny convinced her to do MDMA, and then he snapped her wrist because she also apparently got flirty with Amber (but not ACTUALLY flirty). (Btw after previously saying she didn't know the name of the girl from the last story, she was able to tell us the name of her this time in reference to the wrist grab) This flight attendant was not here to testify either. Johnny apparently beat the hell out of Amber after that and broke her nose and said that Johnny's deceased security guard Jerry Judge had seen it and gave her a handkerchief. There are pictures of her the following day with no marks or swelling on her, which is strange for her having a broken nose.

She told a story about when she got to spend time with his kids on a yacht, and she used Lily-Rose, Johnny Depp's daughter, to help tell a story about how he got way too drunk and Lily-Rose was concerned. Keep in mind that Lily-Rose will not be testifying because Johnny did not want his kids involved at all with this. Apparently he tried to beat the crap out of Amber again because he thought she was accusing Amber of cheating on him and that he had her by the throat in the air and said he could fucking kill her. She recalls that what she said hurt more was when he said she was embarrassing. They showed texts from around that time.

That's it for today. But... fuck this is hard to listen to since it just didn't feel natural at all.
