Still a trial Amber Heard and Johnny Depp The controversy continues, with new and shocking facts and information being revealed day after day about the two who are divorced.
In the latest development, Johnny Depp’s lawyers were delighted when Amber Heard suddenly mentioned the name of British model Kate Moss during her testimony last week, because it would help them in their case.
A source close to Depp confirmed that attorney Benjamin Chew’s gesture in the Fairfax, Virginia courtroom was a “ceremonial admission,” according to The Post.
The source said that mentioning the Moss incident will help us in the case, to dispel a rumor that Depp pushed the British supermodel down a series of stairs, thus bringing her as a witness at the trial.
Kate Moss and the stairs
Heard told the jury about a fight in March 2015 in which she punched the star in the face for fear of pushing her sister Whitney down a ladder, adding that she thought “immediately” of “Kate Moss and the stairs”.
The Aquaman heroine claimed during her testimony that her ex-husband once pushed his ex-girlfriend, the British model, down the stairs when the two were dating in the 1990s.
It is reported that Moss and Depp were dating between 1994 and 1998.
At that trial, Depp Heard’s lawyers were accused of making up Moss’ “rumour” and dropping her in her testimony at the last minute, noting that Heard had never made this allegation before, including in her testimony and pretrial witness statements.

Defamation.. and infringement
The relationship of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is one of the relationships that occupied public opinion for a long time, especially after the dispute reached the court arenas, and the duo exchanged cases that varied between defamation and infringement cases.
The 58-year-old actor is currently facing his 36-year-old ex-wife in Virginia court in a $50m (£39m) defamation case after he claimed her abuse charges against him were false and that he was suing her for defamation over an article she published in 2018 in The Washington Post, which his lawyers say falsely suggests that he physically and sexually abused her.
Heard, in turn, filed a counterclaim, seeking $100 million in damages.
