Depp, 58, is suing Heard, 36, over an article she wrote in which she claimed she was a victim of domestic violence. The actress has filed a countersue — meaning she’s suing Depp back. They repeatedly deny the allegations.

Over the course of more than a month of testimony, jurors were presented with wildly different versions of incidents that transpired over the two troubled years the couple lived together.

The actors have accused each other of being the aggressor in the relationship and have summoned witnesses to testify on their behalf. Several witnesses called by Depp’s team directly contradict Heard’s claims.

“I know how many people will show up and say anything for him,” Heard said in court Thursday. “It’s his power. That’s why I wrote the article. I spoke about this phenomenon.”

Heard’s testimony on Wednesday also prompted a tense dialogue with Camille Vasquez Depp’s attorney turned social media celebrity over an image of spilled wine. It’s one of several photos Heard dreamed up, allegedly of a big argument the couple had in 2016 that would have ended with Depp attacking her.

At one point, Heard addressed the jury, claiming the photos had been edited by Depp’s attorneys to support her exhusband’s case.

“I would appreciate it if you didn’t argue with the jury,” Vasquez said grimly. “I didn’t ask you about anything.”

Throughout his testimony, Heard repeatedly denied allegations that he lied or misled the jury during the trial.

Her testimony, she added, resulted in “hundreds” of daily death threats and forced her to “relive the trauma” of her marriage.

“This is awful … it’s humbling for any human being to go through this and maybe it’s easy to forget, but I’m human,” she said.

“Since I’m here today, I can’t make a career. I can’t even connect people with me because of the threats and attacks they endure.”

Depp is seeking $50 million in moral damages for a 2018 article Heard wrote in The Washington Post in which he said he was a victim of domestic violence. The actor’s lawyers claim it caused “incalculable damage” to his career.

Heard is also suing Depp in a $100 million lawsuit.

The closing arguments will begin this Friday (27th), followed by the deliberations of the jury.
