DAY 22

So today was just "Amber and her attorneys have 0 credibility and Amber is a complete liar" day in court. There's basically no coming back for her because Jesus.

First up via Zoom is Kate Moss of all people. She was only brought into this because Amber Heard claimed that Johnny told her that he pushed Kate Moss down the stairs and Amber claimed that was the reason that she struck Johnny for the first and only time ever. If Amber could have stopped lying for like five seconds, Kate would have been barred from being a witness. Because of this, her testimony was also very limited in what she could say--it had to be entirely because of the rumor. But having someone Johnny was in a relationship with decades ago testify is kind of huge.

Amber was like, twitching and jerking uncomfortably during this testimony. It was super weird. Basically, she told the story that she actually slipped because it was rainy and fell down the stairs and Johnny ran down, carried her to her room, and got her medical attention. That's all. And apparently after this according to someone who was there, Elaine looked back at Rottenborn and shook her head rapidly and they decided not to cross examine her. So Amber was lying about that. Next, move on.

Dr. Curry is here live and I'll be honest, I kind of got tired of what she was saying after enough time. However, she did a complete and thorough takedown of Dr. Hughes, the crazy psychiatrist that Amber had testify before her that claimed Dr. Curry was completely wrong about everything. She basically talked about how all of Dr. Hughes' tests were completely inappropriate and exploited and all she really did was give Amber checklists to analyze her that were highly inaccurate and used for the wrong context of what she was looking for. If you're really interested, you can listen to it yourself. I'll list the good stuff.

- Amber looked extremely uncomfortable and angry during this one too. She wouldn't even look up this time.
- You just need to watch Dr. Curry to see how much more credible she is than Dr. Hughes ever was. She seems so much more knowledgeable and calm.
- Dr. Hughes omitted data that said Amber was lying about PTSD and took her at face value.
- If Amber had the level of PTSD she represented in the tests, she would not be outgoing, having fun, achieving level 3 somalier training, having dinner parties, etc.
- Amber scored in the 98th percentile of lying on the PTSD test.

Elaine does cross which Jesus Christ why even bother? Dr. Curry was just grinning the whole time and Elaine was rehashing the amount of money Dr. Curry was making and then her having dinner thing. Dr. Curry was just done already one minute into this cross and explained she was there for a while, was hungry, she asked if she could get something to eat, so they brought dinner for everyone.

"You testified that you had a mule, did you not?"
"I said there were mules there. I truly don't remember if I had one."
"Well there were no animals there, correct? Because that would be ridiculous."

???????????

Eventually Dr. Curry was answering questions and Elaine was like "We're on a very strict time limitation, so I need you to just answer my questions." ELAINE! IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU'RE ON A STRICT TIME LIMITATION! Apparently the jury took many notes during Dr. Curry's testimony and on cross they didn't write anything and looked annoyed at the dinner talk.

"You understand Dr. Hughes administered 12 different tests, correct?"
"If you want to qualify those as tests, sure."

At one point Elaine says something that Dr. Curry found claiming it was in her notes. Dr. Curry said that it was not in her notes and asked if Elaine had her notes. Elaine just barrelled past it. This cross is a complete disaster for Elaine. Nobody buys any bullshit Elaine is saying.

Redirect came up and Dr. Curry explained that she had to admit that during the tests, she actually had such a horrible time trying to get direct answers from Amber, she had to create forms and said it would be unproductive to interview her. That was one of two questions they bothered to redirect. Fuck, Elaine is so bad. The Depp experts just make it so easy to explain why Amber's experts were so full of shit.

Johnny Depp is back on the stand again, live obviously. The curly black-haired attorney whose name I swear I've never heard did this one. She's kind of second to Chew and Vasquez so far. She did a lot of these today and was really solid in all of them.

Depp began by saying he only saw the Adam Waldman statements for the first time when Amber filed her counter-claim. They were careful to avoid opening a door to discuss his talks with Waldman.

Amber looked furious when Johnny discussed how he helped Amber get her role in Aquaman. Basically, Warner Bros. seemed like they were going to pass because of her issues in Australia because Aquaman was being filmed in Australia for much of it. For those who don't know, she was in trouble for smuggling her dogs into Australia, despite many many warnings that it was illegal, and she got caught and she had to do a public apology with Johnny on video. Look it up. She's also being investigated for perjury there now. In any case, he talked with the Warner Bros. execs because he had a good relationship with them from the Fantastic Beasts movies and he informed them that the situation was fine and they don't need to worry and should still hire her.

Then with the photos of the bar where Johnny's finger was blown off, he was able to point out the details in his story like where the chair was, where the shattered bottles were, where the blood was, and how there was no wall mounted phone there. Apparently he had texted Dr. Kipper a bit after his finger was blown off with that nasty text about how he was done with Amber and how she was too ambitious among other angry and reasonably furious things, providing context for that timeframe. When asked how he was able to text in his state, he pointed at his blown off finger and said "He wasn't available" and that he used his thumbs. He also said he misses the chunk of his finger that was blown off. Oh, and when asked if he took 8-10 MDMA why that wasn't true, he said, "Because I'd be dead."

It's worth pointing out that during Johnny's entire testimony before, Amber had big sad puppy eyes and looked traumatized. Contrast it to now where he's talking about it now and she has a smug, almost Norman Bates looking smirk on at all times. And she's excitedly talking to her counsel during it. Like what the fuck. The jury can see you. They're going to pick up on this that you're looking like some kind of supervillain now as he recounts how you blew his finger off. It honestly felt unsettling at some points.

I should also say that Johnny seems like he's fed up with this trial and especially fed up with Rottenborn. Johnny was getting into the story of how he got the shiner on that picture on the train and Rottenborn objected. So Johnny just said, "She hit me. Is that better?" Dude is well past done with Rottenborn, and it kind of makes sense since he's had to sit here and listen to them lie about him this whole time.

Johnny also said he told the story of Kate Moss falling down the stairs to Amber. And then he noted that the rumor that he shoved Kate Moss down the stairs never came into being until Amber manipulated that story he told her to create a rumor publicly.

He discussed his relationship with Whitney, where Whitney was often belittled and insulted by Amber and treated cruelly and they bonded over the fact they were both treated by Amber like this. He said she moved out of the penthouse because Amber was upset at Whitney because she worked with Jennifer Howell, and Amber is the one that kicked her out.
