Amber Heard's Testimony In Johnny Depp Defamation Trial Receives Mixed Response On Twitter

Fans and social media users continue to follow Johnny Depp's ongoing defamation trial against Amber Heard, which saw the actress taking the witness stand Wednesday to detail her allegations of abuse against her former husband.

Attorneys for Depp rested their case in the trial Tuesday, and the actress' legal team began presenting their side. Depp is suing his ex-wife for $50 million, alleging that a 2018 Washington Post op-ed she penned defamed him and caused him to lose movie projects.

Heard told the court Wednesday about the first time Depp allegedly hit her, after she asked about a tattoo of his. Depp told her the tattoo said "wino" and slapped her when she laughed about it, Heard alleged.

"I will never forget it," Heard said. "It changed my life."

Heard's statements received a mixed response on Twitter, with some claiming that the actress' testimony seemed "forced" and "rehearsed."

"Amber Heard's testimony is very rehearsed, and there are times when she's been contradicting her and her witnesses' testimonies and evidence. She's 100% lying," one person tweeted.

"Amber Heard's testimony seems so forced. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp," a second user wrote.

"Anyone else noticed in Amber Heard's testimony today that she mentioned how she and Johnny shared a love and interest in (the same) books, poetry, music, etc., in the beginning?" another user wrote, before quoting clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry, who testified in the Fairfax, Virginia, trial last month that Heard showed signs of borderline and histrionic personality disorders.

"Dr. Curry: People with BPD will take on the persona (interests) of people they are close to," the third user added.

Some social media users claimed that Heard's opening monologue seemed familiar.

Meanwhile, Heard's supporters sent her well-wishes and love amid the trial, noting that it wasn't easy recalling traumatic moments.

"She describes classic, classic abuse patterns. If you know anything about abusive relationship dynamics, her descriptions fit the playbook that so many men control women with. #IStandWithAmberHeard," one Twitter user wrote.

"Count me on Team Amber," a second person commented, while a different user tweeted: "I believe Amber."

"When nobody questions the fact that all of Johnny’s witnesses are all people he employs/pays and his friends," another tweeted. "It’s like no one’s heard of credibility."

On Wednesday, Heard, who met Depp while filming 2011's "The Rum Diary," recalled her ex-husband allegedly sobbing after he realized he'd hit her and then apologizing over and over.

"As a woman, I had never been hit like that," Heard told the jury.

Depp was previously asked about the alleged tattoo incident while he was on the stand, claiming that the moment "didn't happen."

"I've never struck Ms. Heard. I have never struck a woman in my life. I'm certainly not going to strike a woman if she decides to make fun of a tattoo that I have on my body. ... That allegation never made any sense to me whatsoever," he said in court.
