[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Johnny Depp’s lawyer is leaving no stone unturned in the cross-examination of Amber Heard.
Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez uncorked the second day of Heard’s cross-examination in the defamation trial by grilling the Aquaman actress on her claim that the actor sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle — not to mention, the mushy love notes in which Amber wrote she wanted to “rip [Johnny] apart.” As we reported, Amber alleged earlier in her testimony that her then-husband violated her with a bottle of Maker’s Mark bourbon during a fight in March 2015.
The claim is notable as it only came up in this trial and not in the 2020 libel one or ever before. Vasquez dissected this claim on Tuesday, asking the 36-year-old why there were no medical records stemming from the alleged assault, despite Amber’s claims that she sustained cuts to her feet and was bleeding.

Heard initially testified that the Oscar nominee allegedly smashed a phone and cut off the tip of his finger, before pinning her down on a countertop and allegedly inserting the liquor bottle into her body. (This alleged incident took place while the then-newlyweds were living in Australia as Depp was shooting a fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.) Heard told Vasquez she can’t remember the exact timeline of events and has never claimed otherwise, noting: In her direct testimony, Heard claimed she feared the bottle inside her was broken at the time.
