Depp-Heard trial continues as both parties make damning and emotional closing statements. The jury is set to reconvene on Tuesday
The Depp-Heard trial has concluded its testimonies as the jury was given their instructions and is set to reconvene on Tuesday. They were given Monday off for Memorial Day weekend. Depp, Heard, and their attorneys made some damning and emotional closing statements and they’re leaving a lot to chew on for the next few days. Heard broke into tears as she said her closing statement.
“I am harassed, humiliated, threatened, every single day. Even just walking into this courtroom. Sitting here, in front of the world… Having the worst parts of my life, things that I’ve lived through, used to humiliate me. People want to kill me, and they tell me so, every day. People want to put my baby in the microwave, and they tell me that. I’m not sitting in this courtroom laughing, smiling, and making snide jokes, I’m not. This is horrible. This is painful. And this is humiliating for any human being to go through. And perhaps it’s easy to forget that, but I’m a human being. And even though Johnny promised that I deserved this and promised that he’d do this, I don’t deserve this. I want to move on.”
Heard had a baby, Oonagh Paige, via a surrogate mother in 2021. That is the baby whom she is claiming that people are threatening to murder. She continued to speak about how she believes that Depp enlisted millions of people to smear her and then Depp’s attorneys objected. There was talk about how Heard has lost work with several companies both as a model and actress. Conversely, Depp was smiling and calm as he said his final part. He spoke about receiving news about not going to their house to retrieve some belongings, such as child items and things given to him by other celebrities. He’d been sent a photo of feces in the bed and said that his initial reaction was to laugh.
“My initial response to that was… I mean, I laughed… it was so outside, it was so bizarre and so grotesque that I could only laugh… and so I did not go [home] that day.
