Supermodel Kate Moss, Johnny Depp’s life partner in the 1990s, may appear in court Wednesday to testify in the highly media-attended trial in a defamation lawsuit brought by the actor against his ex-wife Amber Heard, according to American media, citing sources close to Depp. .
The New York Post reported Monday that the 48-year-old British model may make a video statement from California.
Kate Moss, who co-starred with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star between 1994 and 1997, was called to testify by Johnny Depp’s lawyer.
During her testimony on May 5, Amber Heard described a violent fight that occurred with her husband in March 2015, and spoke of a rumor that was circulating at the time that Johnny Depp had dropped his former partner Kate Moss on the stairs.
“I immediately thought of Kate Moss for peace and hit him,” Heard said.
Lawyers for the Hollywood star hope that Kate Moss will refute the rumor, discrediting the entirety of the 36-year-old actress’ testimony.
Johnny Depp accuses his ex-wife, Amber Heard, of damaging his reputation and undermining his career, after confirming in an article published by the “Washington Post” in 2018 that she had been subjected to domestic violence two years earlier when they were still married, without explicitly mentioning his name.
$50 million in compensation
Johnny Depp asserts that he has never hit any woman in his life, noting in return that he was the one who was subjected to violence by Amber Heard, and he is demanding $50 million in damages.
The star of the movie “Aquaman” launched a counterattack, demanding the actor to pay a double compensation of one hundred million dollars, and confirmed that she had been subjected to violence since 2012, a year after the start of their relationship.
Specialist surgeon Richard Moore responded Monday to allegations by Johnny Depp, who asserts that he lost part of his finger in Australia in 2015 because Amber Heard smashed a drink bottle on him during an argument.
He explained that there were no glass shards on the injured finger nor on the hand.
Another doctor, psychiatrist David Spiegel, described the actor’s character as “narcissistic”, noting that his condition was exacerbated by his excessive consumption of drugs and alcohol.
He touched on “jealousy, sudden disturbance of mood, difficulty in maintaining calm, and accepting a certain degree of violence.”
The doctor stressed that the use of alcohol and cocaine “significantly increases the risk of domestic violence.”
