will give evidence via video link from London in the defamation trial between Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard. Moss will be the first of the actor’s exes to give evidence in the case that’s gripping the globe.
A source familiar with the case told The Post that Moss will recount an incident when she “was walking down some stairs in Jamaica.
She was wearing flip flops and she slipped on the last two stairs. Johnny caught her and tended to her.”Moss was drawn into the legal drama when Heard, 36, told the jury about a March 2015 fight during which she punched Depp, 58, in the face out of fear he was going to shove her sister Whitney Henriquez down a staircase.The “Aquaman” actress said Henriquez was near a staircase “in the line of fire … trying to get Johnny to stop,” which reminded her of a rumored incident between Moss and Depp.“[Whitney’s] back was to the staircase, and Johnny swings at her,” Heard testified. “I don’t hesitate, I don’t wait — I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs.”“And I swung at him,” Heard continued of the alleged incident.This prompted Depp’s attorney Benjamin Chew to triumphantly pump his fist in the air in the Fairfax, Va., courtroom — a “celebratory acknowledgment” that Moss could be brought as an impeachment witness to the trial, legal sources told The Post.By mentioning the alleged misconduct, Heard inadvertently allowed Depp’s lawyers to call the model as a witness.But the familiar source said Moss’s testimony about her own staircase incident likely won’t help Heard.“Johnny pick up Kate and carried her — this was hardly Amber’s scary interpretation of events,” said the source.
