The trial in the defamation suit filed by Johnny Depp against ex-wife Amber Heard continued on Thursday with testimony from Heard’s former assistant, Kate James.

In a video deposition, reports CBC News, James claimed that she never witnessed Depp become physically abusive toward Heard, describing Depp’s demeanor as being “like a total Southern gentleman.” However, James painted a very different picture of Heard, recalling “Aquaman” star’s fits of “blind rage,” rampant drug use and a tendency to verbally abuse others, including her own mother and sister.

She also recalled that part of her job was to purchase up two copies of any magazine that featured Heard, and then hiding them in the garage so that Depp wouldn’t come across them.

According to James, when she once forgot to store the magazines in the garage, Heard went into a “blind rage.” Describing Heard as a “very dramatic person,” James recalled Heard sharing her feelings of insecurity in her marriage, and would often call her in tears to complain about Depp. “I remember one time she called me when she was alone in New York City, and she was crying and walking around the streets,” said James, who advised her boss to get off the street and go inside while she was in such a fragile state. “I was worried that the paparazzi might take a photo of her.” READ MORE: Marriage Therapist Details Sessions With Johnny Depp & Amber Heard, Describes ‘Mutual Abuse’ James, who claimed she was paid “very poorly,” also recalled an incident that took place when she asked Heard for a raise to
