New twist in the defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
Since the start of the trial on April 12, the former spouses have accused each other of domestic violence.
The actress notably declared having been the victim of physical and sexual assaults during her relationship with the star of
Pirates of the Caribbean
, which would have left several bruises on her body.

As proof, the
Aquaman
star claims that she used a makeup palette from the American brand Milani to hide her injuries.
“She has become an expert in this area.
You are going to hear Amber's testimony about how she had to mix the different colors to be able to cover each bruise,” said one of her lawyers, holding up the utensil.
On video, who is the sulphurous Amber Heard?
Turnaround
But something stuck in his defense.
In 2016, when the spouses separated, the palette in question did not exist since it was marketed in... 2017. It was the Milani brand itself that revealed this error in a Tik Tok video.
As a caption, the brand adds: “You asked us… So that we know that our correction kit was launched in 2017”.
Then states in the comments: “We are here to provide facts in this matter”.
With this evidence, Amber Heard's defense finds itself discredited.
Monday April 25, when Johnny Depp was finishing his testimony, which lasted four days, he chose to turn the situation around by declaring that he himself had been the victim of domestic violence during their relationship.
