US actress Amber Heard testifies at the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia, on May 5, 2022.Jim Lo Scalzo—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker May 5, 2022 4:12 PM UTC Amber Heard continued testifying today in the ongoing defamation suit brought against her by ex-husband Johnny Depp in March 2019\. The [high-profile trial](https://time.com/6171006/johnny-depp-amber-heard-trial/), which is being held in Fairfax County, Virginia, is in its fourth week. On Tuesday, Depp’s legal team [rested its case](https://time.com/6172789/johnny-depp-agent-testimony-trial/), claiming that the _Pirates of the Caribbean_ actor was defamed by an op-ed Heard published in the Washington _Post_ in 2018 where she referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp filed a $50 million defamation suit against Heard claiming that the op-ed [damaged his career](https://time.com/6173134/johnny-depp-accountant-lost-money-trial/). ## **Amber Heard’s testimony** Heard took the stand Wednesday and [delivered a tearful account](https://time.com/6173585/amber-heard-testimony-scheduled-johnny-depp-trial/) of the first time Depp allegedly hit her. “I will never forget it. It changed my life,” she said. On Thursday her testimony continued. After describing her happy engagement to the actor, she recounted a pattern of volatile and occasionally violent alleged behavior between the one-time couple. After their engagement, Heard testified that when she asked to sign a prenuptial agreement with the star, he allegedly told her the “only way out of this is death,” [per _Newsweek_](https://www.newsweek.com/johnny-depp-amber-heard-trial-coverage-fourth-week-testimony-begins-1702573#live-blog-15178). **Read more:** [_What to Know About Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s Defamation Trial_](https://time.com/6171006/johnny-depp-amber-heard-trial/) Heard testified that Depp punched her and allegedly broke her nose after the 2014 Met Gala. “At the Met Gala, he was accusing me of flirting with a woman. We get back to the hotel room, he shoves me and grabs my collarbone. I remember he threw a bottle at me, missed me, hit the chandelier,” she said, [the New York _Post_ reported](https://nypost.com/2022/05/05/live-coverage-johnny-depp-vs-amber-heard-trial/?utm%5Fmedium=SocialFlow&utm%5Fsource=NYPTwitter&utm%5Fcampaign=SocialFlow). Depp then allegedly punched Heard, breaking her nose. “We were struggling, he’s bigger than me. He hit me, I remember my nose being swollen, red. I made a remark to my friend of how bad.” While the lawsuit stems from alleged damage to Depp’s career, Heard testified that her career suffered due to her involvement with Depp, claiming he would read scripts and get upset if they included sex scenes. “Every time I got a script, it was what kind of, you know, how I was dressing? … Did I have a sex scene?” she testified, [per the New York _Post_](https://nypost.com/2022/05/05/live-coverage-johnny-depp-vs-amber-heard-trial/?utm%5Fmedium=SocialFlow&utm%5Fsource=NYPTwitter&utm%5Fcampaign=SocialFlow). Heard said from the stand that when she was filming _The Adderall Diaries_ with James Franco, Depp called her “a slut” for filming the movie’s sex scenes. The fight then escalated, with Depp allegedly slapping her and kicking her in the back on a cross-country flight over the scenes with Franco. Earlier this week, forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes testified that she determined Heard suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from her relationship with Depp. That testimony directly contradicts the findings of Dr. Shannon Curry, the forensic psychologist hired by Depp’s team, who testified that Heard showed no signs of PTSD. Heard told the jury that her relationship with Depp grew more abusive and fraught between 2014 and 2016, but Heard still married him in 2015\. “I was marrying the love of my life,” she testified. “It was complicated, but I thought he was the love of my life.” She ultimately filed for divorce in 2016. In brutal testimony, Heard recounted violent incidents with her then husband, including an alleged assault that “left \[her\] on the closet floor” in a Toyko hotel room in 2015\. “He was screaming at me that it was over,” she testified, [per the New York _Post_.](https://nypost.com/2022/05/05/live-coverage-johnny-depp-vs-amber-heard-trial/?utm%5Fmedium=SocialFlow&utm%5Fsource=NYPTwitter&utm%5Fcampaign=SocialFlow) She also described a fight in Australia that left Depp without part of his finger. Heard sobbed on the stand as she recalled the brutal attack on her, described by a psychologist yesterday, in which Depp allegedly inserted a bottle inside her. “I’m looking in his eyes, I don’t see him anymore,” she said, the _Post_ reported. “It wasn’t him. It was black. I’ve never been so scared in my life. I was trying to get through to Johnny, and I couldn’t see him at all.” Depp allegedly severed the tip of his finger at some point during the fight. **Read more:** [_Why You’re Seeing So Many Johnny Depp Defenders on TikTok_](https://time.com/6172174/johnny-depp-tiktok-defenders/) Heard also admitted to punching Depp, but claimed it was in defense of her sister. Earlier in the trial, Depp and his witnesses claimed Heard was at fault. ## **What happens next** Heard is expected to continue testifying and will face cross-examination. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6173940/amber-heard-testifies-johnny-depp-broke-nose/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6173940/amber-heard-testifies-johnny-depp-broke-nose/"},"headline":"Amber Heard Testifies That Johnny Depp Broke Her Nose After 2014 Met Gala","datePublished":"2022-05-05T16:12:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T12:33:31.513Z","description":"Amber Heard is expected to continue testifying today in the ongoing defamation suit brought against her by ex-husband Johnny Depp.","url":"https://time.com/6173940/amber-heard-testifies-johnny-depp-broke-nose/","keywords":["celebrities","freelance","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt12a379bffaf8370d/698a319286f68e043f6f1328/GettyImages-1240462713.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt12a379bffaf8370d/698a319286f68e043f6f1328/GettyImages-1240462713.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-COURT-DEPP-HEARD","caption":"US-COURT-DEPP-HEARD","creditText":"Jim Lo Scalzo—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6173940/amber-heard-testifies-johnny-depp-broke-nose/","name":"Amber Heard Testifies That Johnny Depp Broke Her Nose After 2014 Met Gala"}}]}] ```
