We had some time off from the drama of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard last week as the judge had to attend a conference, but we’ve only been one day back into it and there’s more content than you can shake a stick at after yesterday’s proceedings.

Heard was appearing on the stand yesterday to give more testimony and be cross examined by Depp’s lawyers and she revealed why Depp has refused to look at her during the trial. Those of you that have been following the trial – pretty much all of us, I know – probably noticed that Depp is watching her testimony on the video screen at his table rather than look at her directly and hasn’t thrown a glance at her before that either ,which is pretty strange considering they’ve been in the same room for three weeks.
Here’s what Heard had to say about it when questioned by Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez, who also played some pretty distressing audio from when the two met up in San Francisco back in 2016 after Heard had penned her infamous op-ed piece implying that Depp was a major abuser:

Vasquez: ‘Mr Depp hasn’t looked at you once this entire trial, has he?’
Heard: ‘Not that I’ve noticed, no’.
Vasquez: You know exactly why Mr Depp won’t look back at you don’t you?’
Heard: ‘I do,’ Heard replied.
Vasquez: ‘He promised you you would never see his eyes again. Isn’t that true? He kept that promise hasn’t he?’
Heard: ’As far as I know, he cannot look at me.
Vasquez: ‘He won’t look at you, right Miss Heard?’
Heard: ‘He can’t.’
Geez that recording is grim isn’t it? Nobody wants to hear two people who were once married to each other shouting and screaming like that do they? Or I guess we all do as it has something like 2 million views across various platforms.
Anyway, this is interesting and I’m not really sure why Depp’s lawyers have brought it up. I suppose that the fact that Depp is so disturbed by Heard’s allegations that he literally refuses to look at her anymore might garner some sympathy from the rest of the world, but it also seems quite weird/childish that after six years he’s still holding such a grudge that he won’t look at her.
Personally, I can’t imagine myself hating someone for something so much that I refused to look at them six years after the event, but I appreciate that I haven’t been a multimillionaire actor whose career was ruined by someone I once loved’s claims that I repeatedly beat her up. That might do it, but I feel like I would rather stare daggers of resentment into them then if given the oppurtunity. Maybe that’s just me though and I guess it wouldn’t be a good look at a trial like this anyway? We’ll see what the jurors make of it I guess.
