Description: Amber Heard testified on the stand in the libel trail against her ex-husband, actor Johnny Depp. RELATED: Amber Heard takes the stand in Johnny Depp's defamation case bit.ly/3kMBnqA Amber Heard returned to the stand Thursday and continued to testify about her past relationship with her ex-husband Johnny Depp, who filed a libel lawsuit against her. Depp is suing Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court, saying her 2018 Washington Post op-ed defamed him when she described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” The article never mentions Depp by name, but Depp’s lawyers say he was defamed nevertheless because it’s a clear reference to abuse allegations Heard levied in 2016. At the start of Heard's testimony Thursday, her attorney Elaine Bredehoft asked her why she decided to take photos of Depp passed out during a trip to the Bahamas in July 2013. "He wouldn’t either remember or deny it or accuse me of something that happened and it didn’t," Heard testified, alleging that Depp's team would take care of him in the midst of substance abuse, but she didn't feel supported. » Subscribe to USA TODAY: bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: bit.ly/3HLDbt6 » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #AmberHeard #JohnnyDepp #Trial
