After a week off, the trial resumed on Monday, with Amber Heard and Johnny Depp confronting each other in court. Their fans all over the world are following the highly publicised trial as they continue to make shocking revelations about each other. Many people have pointed out that Johnny has never looked Amber in the eye during the trial, despite the fact that she has done so several times. On Monday, Johnny’s lawyer asked Amber about it.
According to People, Johnny’s lawyer Camille Vasquez questioned Amber about his lack of eye contact with her. Amber acknowledged that he hadn’t looked at her. “You know exactly why Mr. Depp won’t look back at you, don’t you?” the attorney asked Amber, and she confirmed, “I do.” “He promised you you’d never see his eyes again, is that true?” the attorney inquired again. “I don’t recall if he said that,” she responded.
Camille then played an audio recording of Johnny and Amber’s last meeting, claiming that she begged him to hug her goodbye. “Has he kept that promise, hasn’t he?” she inquired again. “As far as I know, he can’t look at me,” Amber replied simply.
Johnny “does not have the courage to even look at Ms. Heard,” Amber’s spokesperson told the tabloid earlier.
On Monday, Johnny’s lawyers began questioning Amber in the couple’s defamation trial, challenging her claims of physical abuse before and during their brief marriage. Johnny, 58, claims Amber, 36, defamed him when she claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse and is suing her for $50 million. She countersued for $100 million, claiming that he slandered her by referring to her as a liar. The final arguments are set for May 27.
The legal case revolves around Amber’s December 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post. Although the article did not mention Johnny by name, his lawyer told jurors that it was clear that Amber was referring to him.
