The actress Amber Heard He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the “physical abuse y sexual” exercised by her ex-husband, Johnny Deppaccording to statements this Tuesday by the forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes in the trial facing the ex partner.
The psychologist explained that the issuance of this diagnosis comes after accumulating 29 hours of therapy with the actress and after reviewing the recording of these sessions.
There are several indications of cases of violence and sexual abuse found in this relationship (…) due to their obsessive jealousy (of Johnny Depp)”, he claimed Hughes before the jury of the dispute that began on April 11 in Fairfax (Virginia, USA).
According to the psychologist’s testimony, the scenes of physical or sexual abuse occurred when Depp was “drunk or drugged”, and worsened if he was “more enraged than normal” after not being satisfied with a shoot.
Hughes specified that allegedly Depp even pushed Heard on the bed and “he tore off her nightgown to try to have sex with her.”
If last week it was the lawyers of Depp who portrayed Heard As the person who maintained a position of abuse in the relationship, now it is the defense of the actress who tries to counteract this image with the version of her witnesses and experts.
In fact, Hughes is the first of these to have been summoned by the lawyers for Heard in his defense phase.
Depp y Heard maintain a legal battle after the lawsuit for defamation in which Depp demands compensation of 50 million dollars due to the publication of an article in The Washington Post in 2018, after her divorce, in which she claimed to have suffered “domestic abuse”.
