Trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: A mud fight
The trouble with a court battle like the one Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are currently fighting in Virginia is that in the search for the truth, much comes to light;
and in the case of two bickering Hollywood stars, public interest is high.
Be it affectionate statements such as "Shut up, fat ass", the affectionate title as "whore" or the admission that there have already been "things of this kind" in terms of disputes - under the eyes of the jury, the lawyers of the ex-spouses are trying , to present the other side from their most miserable side.
While Heard's allegations that Depp physically abused her lose credibility due to the statements made so far in the course of the trial, another witness now supports Depp's allegation that his ex-wife's allegations have significantly damaged his career.

Heard's relationship with tech mogul Elon Musk, who is currently making headlines with his takeover of Twitter, was also discussed.
She entered into this after the divorce from Depp in 2017.
"I'm processing the breakup.
I hate it when things get public.
I'm so sad," Heard said in a court-read text message to Carino that August.
"You weren't in love with him and you've told me a 1000 times that you're just filling the space.
Why should you be sad when you weren't in love with him at all?” he replied.
"I know," Heard replied, "but I wanted time to grieve and recover at my own pace." Carino does not know which of the two men this statement refers to.
The marriage counselor for the two Hollywood stars gave a more detailed assessment of the relationship between Heard and Depp, as reported by colleagues from BuzzFeed.de.
