Cross? Extra like two jabs and an uppercut! It’s gotten combative earlier than between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp‘s legal professionals, however man that is one other stage!
Within the final cross-examination of the defamation trial, Camille Vasquez did greater than press and prod the defendant. She rubbed her face in how poorly the hearings had gone for her! She straight up referred to as her a liar a number of occasions all through the hostile Q&A, saying at one level:
“Your lies have been uncovered to the world a number of occasions?”
Daaaaamn! Amber fought again:
“I haven’t lied about something.”
Vasquez pushed her on a number of factors, and again and again the chorus was an implication that everybody else was mendacity.
Associated: Amber Says Johnny Depp Followers Threaten To Put Her ‘Child In The Microwave’
For example, Amber had testified that Johnny trashed the trailer the place they have been staying in Hicksville, the night time she alleged he obtained excessive and sexually assaulted her together with his fingers, giving her a “cavity search.” When confronted with the testimony of the trailer park’s supervisor, Morgan Knight, who mentioned the trailer was NOT trashed and that he noticed Amber yelling at Johnny, not the opposite method round, she mentioned:
“I don’t know who that man was or if he had any involvement on this. I do know lots of people have come out of the woodwork to be concerned. I’ve heard lots of people say a number of issues to be concerned within the Johnny Depp present.”
Vasquez wasn’t about to let that go. She pressed the Aquaman star to observe via on her implication, asking:
“So that you’re accusing Mr. Knight of committing perjury?”
Amber responded:
“I’m not accusing anybody, I simply don’t acknowledge that man. He wasn’t there, he doesn’t know what occurred behind closed doorways.”
Vasquez additionally requested about Kate Moss — arguing Amber was effective with spreading a rumor in courtroom that he had pushed her down the steps as a result of she thought there’d be no rebuttal from the supermodel:
“Whenever you informed this jury you punched Mr. Depp since you considered Mr. Depp pushing Kate Moss down the steps, you didn’t count on Miss Moss to testify that by no means occurred?”
Amber responded:
“Incorrect, I knew how many individuals will come out of the woodwork to assist Johnny.”
Uh, is that implying Kate Moss is mendacity to assist Johnny Depp?? Hmm.
On the rumor, Amber swore it was one thing she’d heard for years, apparently since earlier than she began relationship Johnny? She testified:
“All people who was round within the 90s and early aughts knew that rumor. I had heard that rumor from a number of individuals. After all that’s what flashed via my head when my violent husband not solely swung for me however impulsively swung for my sister. After all I considered that. I didn’t count on her to point out up or not count on her to point out up, it didn’t matter, it didn’t change what I assumed on the steps after I thought he was going to kill my sister.”
The legal professional additionally went after the TMZ angle. Former worker Morgan Tremaine had testified that they obtained the video of Johnny trashing his kitchen from a supply they knew to be the copyright holder — in different phrases, the one that took the video… in different phrases, AMBER. He additionally mentioned the video they obtained had been edited, leaving out the half the place she picks up the digicam, the place, as Vasquez describes, she is “smirking.” The lawyer mentioned she “edited out parts” that made her look dangerous. Amber denied this, saying:
“You’re very flawed about that… If I needed to leak data, I may have performed it in a simpler method.”
The ex-TMZ producer additionally mentioned the outlet was given the heads as much as ship photographers to the courthouse — particularly to get pics of a bruise on the appropriate facet of Amber’s face.
The outlet someway knew the place the bruise was earlier than seeing her. It was the one time she was out the place it may very well be seen — on James Corden and all over the place else, her make-up magic fully coated it up. She had her publicist along with her. The implication was clear, however Vasquez spelled it out:
“Whenever you informed this jury underneath oath that you just had no concept the paparazzi could be outdoors the courthouse on Might 27, 2016, you didn’t count on a TMZ worker to point out up and testify that TMZ had been alerted that you’d be on the courthouse and knew precisely which facet of your face to take an image of, did you?”
That was too far for Amber. She struck out:
“I understand how many individuals will come out and say no matter for him. That’s his energy. That’s why I wrote the op-ed. I used to be talking to that phenomenon — how many individuals will come out in assist of him and can fall to his energy. He’s a really highly effective man and folks love currying favor with highly effective males.”
OK, outing: Camille Vasquez simply scored a significant level right here. Did you catch it?
One of many large factors of rivalry on this lawsuit has been that the Washington Publish op-ed was clearly about Johnny. At one level Amber testified that it wasn’t. Sure, actually. So she simply gave up on that immediately by admitting it was.
The authorized technique was clear right here: Vasquez arrange that both there are a number of individuals coming ahead and mendacity for Johnny Depp, as Amber contends, or there’s one individual mendacity. It’s masterfully performed. However was it proper? Watch the complete cross and resolve for your self (beneath):
