Attorneys for actor Amber Heard have sought to undermine Johnny Depp’s libel lawsuit against her. Heard’s lawyers cross-examined Depp on Thursday and questioned him about his drug and alcohol use. They also displayed texts that Depp had sent to friends. One was about Depp’s desire to kill and defile his then-wife. Depp is suing Heard over allegations that he abused her and ruined his lucrative acting career. Depp has testified that Heard was the aggressor in the relationship and that he never physically or sexually assaulted her. Heard’s lawyers argue that Depp abused her and can’t deny it because he was often blackout drunk and high on drugs.
