DAY 18

So this was a... better day for Amber Heard? Who now decided screw it, she's wearing more make up now. Another notable thing is that the first time through the trial, after rumors came out that they were having heated arguments, Amber and Elaine have been cheerfully talking and hugging each other now. It feels very performative.

We continue with Rocky's bullshit. She must have been sedated for this shit because she just took forever to answer questions and was outrageously unconvincing. Depp's team showed a bunch of pictures from the James Corden Show incident where she was brutally beaten, had her hair torn out, among other things. Rocky is perfectly fine then, just answering the questions like whatever. They do make sure to point out the knife on the bed and Rocky was like "I dunno what that is." Camille did a good job in this video deposition making sure Rocky's entire story was just ridiculously inconclusive and pointless. And she's supposed to be the one who was here for all of this and she was so cagey to give any details.

She literally at one point asked if they could show her a picture so she could remember where the injuries were. Obviously, they don't. Rocky claimed that Amber also had a laceration on her head before the James Corden Show, but as you might recall, there has never been any story where that's been a thing before this. And no pictures reflect that at all.

Basically, Rocky is another one of Amber's friends who were super worried about Amber being beaten up all the time, made no effort to actually try to get her out of that relationship or express concern, and were happy living in the same group of penthouses with a violent abuser that almost killed your friend and leeching off of him.

So after being stone-faced and bored looking at all of the photos of the aftermath of Johnny beating up Amber before, Rocky was sobbing while looking at them now that Amber's team was asking the question. Hey dummy, did you forget these have a chance of being played in court? Just incredibly fake to anyone with sense. But she was "sad for Johnny" because he couldn't get it together.

There is nothing to gather from this that Amber hasn't already said. Like, she could have given something valuable, but she just hasn't seen anything. She kept her statements very short and without any actual detail and didn't actually provide anything new. And it's just "Amber told me". There's a reason that Amber didn't beg and plead Rocky and iO and the rest of her goon squad to come in person, because they knew that the moment that they get asked hard questions on cross, it all falls apart, just like it did with Amber. It's not even worth summarizing because it's literally the same stuff we heard from Amber.

They show pictures to Rocky, we're looking at them, and she's saying "She had two awful black eyes" and like you can see them if you really squint maybe. If you already look at these pictures and say "These are bullshit" then having Rocky swear up and down she sees injuries there, what are you going to believe? It's just more crazy gaslighting.

Looking at the pictures of aftermath of things Johnny supposedly destroyed are a bunch of pictures in glass frames that weren't damaged at all and neatly laying on one another. They can't even commit when framing this scene to actually breaking stuff. It's just a mild mess and Rocky was acting traumatized over it. Girl, it looks like Johnny was just taking a box of papers and tilted it to the side gently.

Another interesting picture of Amber at the courthouse waiting for her restraining order, looking sad on a bench with her publicist sitting beside her, while the publicist was on the phone. Gee, I wonder who she was calling. Couldn't have been paparazzi.

That's it for Rocky. Next is her now ex-husband Josh, who was actually somehow the best of Amber's friend group for Amber's case, and the jury was actually interested in his story. Mostly, it was so much more different because he actually provided detail and was actually engaging in conversation with them and he just seems like a well-meaning idiot, in a neutral manner, but he's also a freeloading piece of shit. He just seemed like he didn't have much to hide here. But like everyone else, he never saw Johnny be violent with Amber.

Of course, while he was better for Amber, he was still contradicting a lot of Amber's story too. To support, he claimed Johnny did arrive to Amber's birthday party drunk, when everyone on Johnny's end has maintained he had maybe one glass of wine to drink during the multi-hour meeting he was at. But he also said that Amber was wasted by the time Johnny got there too.

Concerning the last incident with the police arriving, Josh had claimed that Amber's attorney asked them to put together a story. Uhhhhh. That's suspect. There's a problem with Josh's telling of this, in that he claimed that there was a giant mess there when the cops arrived the second time, and they didn't know there was body cam footage at the time. WHOOPS. He also said that Johnny got in his face and screamed at him but he won't tell us what he said, before he left the penthouses that night. Josh, who wanted everyone to know how much of a cool badass he is, said he wasn't feeling threatened despite him getting a foot away from him. He also mentioned no more than twice that he would have kicked Johnny's ass if he knew what he did to Amber before. Not great for Amber's argument of how menacing and scary he was though.

He also told us that Amber had gotten not only her locks changed on her penthouse door, but also iO and Rocky/Josh's locks too. Also her demands for the divorce were that her and her friends keep those penthouses specifically, and fuck the rest of them.

Josh also informed us that while Johnny was away, Amber had more than 30 people visiting her at night that did not live there. But remember guys, Johnny was CRAZY for thinking Amber was cheating on him.

His testimony was mostly just a more credible Rocky/iO testimony. It's just nothing substantial. Good witness, overall, for Amber. Maybe the best one of the day for her? But then you have to assume the cops with body cams are lying.

Next is Whitney Heard, Amber's sister. I'll just summarize Whitney as a person before this. Whitney has been abused emotionally and physically by Amber her entire life, according to her closest friend who will be a rebuttal witness, and she begged said closest friend to not testify in the UK trial when she was called. Whitney is a spineless rat and you could just see the contempt that Amber had for her during her entire testimony. Oh, and she also freeloaded and lived in the penthouses too.

Also, she claimed to be sick and left her deposition after Amber's team asked questions. So she was due to do another deposition, but Amber's team said if that happens they deserve to receive all of that time too, not Depp's lawyers. Ultimately, there was a lot of arguments between both parties on whether or not Amber could appear as a witness in this trial because of this, but we never knew how the Judge ruled. We still don't, but my educated guess is that what she was allowed to testify about was SEVERELY limited as a result because all she talked about was foundational stuff and then the staircase incident. Nothing else.

Her testimony was BS, she was a solid witness regardless, but apparently the jury hated her so they probably smelled the BS off it. She used more Amber talking points about Johnny being controlling. She was always so concerned about Johnny's sobriety but claimed to be doing cocaine with him regularly. She claims to have seen Johnny throw a steak knife at someone too. Oh, and contrary to what most people have said about drunk Johnny, she said it's obvious to see when he's drunk because he's slurring and spilling stuff.
