British top model Kate Moss (48) testified in favor of her former partner in the defamation trial between Hollywood star Johnny Depp (58) and his ex-wife Amber Heard (36). Contrary to rumors to the contrary, her ex-boyfriend never pushed her down a flight of stairs, said Moss, who joined the courtroom in Fairfax, Virginia via video link on Wednesday.
The case of Johnny Depp against Amber Heard
Johnny Depp has sued Amber Heard, to whom he was married between 2015 and 2017, for $50 million in damages. The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star has accused his ex-wife of damaging his career with false allegations of domestic violence. The background is an article for the “Washington Post” from 2018, in which Heard described himself as a victim of domestic violence without naming Depp.
Heard has responded with a counterclaim against the Hollywood star, demanding $100 million in damages. She accuses the actor of “unbridled physical violence”. Both lawsuits are at issue in the Fairfax, Virginia, lawsuit.
The former couple had previously faced each other at a trial in London in 2020. At the time, Depp sued the British tabloid The Sun, which had described him as a “wife bully”. Heard testified as a witness, Depp was defeated in the process. (AFP)

During the trial, Heard reported an incident in which Depp Moss is said to have pushed himself down a flight of stairs. This enabled Depp’s lawyers to call the supermodel as a witness. “He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs,” said the 48-year-old in her statement on Wednesday. According to her own statements, she was in a relationship with Depp from 1994 to 1998.
Kate Moss stands behind Johnny Depp
The court questioned Moss about an incident during the couple’s vacation in Jamaica. You left your room, Depp went before you, the British reported. She slipped and fell down a rain-soaked staircase. “And I was screaming because I didn’t know what was happening and I was in pain,” Moss said. Depp ran to her, carried her back to her room and got medical help. After the testimony, Heard’s attorneys refrained from asking Moss any questions.
In the process, Heard accused her ex-husband Depp of repeatedly violently attacking her before and during their marriage, which lasted from 2015 to 2017. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star rejects this and in return accuses the actress, known from films like “Aquaman”, of violent behavior.
Closing arguments on Friday
The process, which was accompanied by enormous media interest, is coming to an end, and the closing arguments are to be held on Friday. Then the jury has to decide.
Depp has sued Heard for $50 million in damages. He accuses the 36-year-old of having seriously damaged his career with false allegations of domestic violence. The background is an article for the “Washington Post” from 2018, in which Heard described himself as a victim of domestic violence without naming Depp. Heard has responded with a counterclaim against the 58-year-old, demanding $100 million in damages because her career also suffered from the allegedly false claims.
