Johnny Depp’s defamation suit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, has been adjourned to Monday after a third day in Virginia. On Thursday, witness Gina Deuters, a friend of Depp, took her testimony from the archive and was rejected after admitting that she had seen excerpts from the trial online. Instead, videos were played by Dr. David Kipper, who treated the actor for addiction. Earlier, videotaped files were presented by Herd’s former assistant, Kate James, and the couple’s marriage counselor, Dr. Laurel Anderson, who exposed their “mutual abuse.” Depp claims that a 2018 article on domestic violence against women, written by Herd, implied that he was a bully during their relationship. Although she did not name him, the lawyers claim that her allegations made it difficult for the actress to get film roles. He is seeking $ 50 million (£ 38.2 million) in damages during the Fairfax County District Court trial. Herd has filed a counterclaim against Depp for harassment. Depp has previously lost a defamation case in the UK against The Sun over the same Heard article.
