“Ms. Heard took the story and turned it into a very ugly incident all in her mind.
There had been a rainstorm.
He came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention.”

Depp testified that it was Heard who attacked him, alleging that she gave him a black eye.
His defense shared photos of the former couple with wait staff that showed Depp with an injured eye.
“I’ve certainly seen Ms. Heard grab Whitney [and] push her around,” Depp testified.
He called Heard’s testimony thus far “unimaginably brutal, cruel, and all false.”
This is not easy for any of us.
In response, a source close to Heard likened the testimony to a performance.
“His last chance to change the subject and mislead the jury.
Don’t mistake charm for candor, or snark for sincerity.
What we’re witnessing isn’t testimony, it’s a performance.
Heard’s team initially planned to call Deppback to the stand earlier this week, but ultimately switched strategies.
It only reflects her personal experiences after she became associated with domestic violence, she testified.
Closing arguments will be presented on Friday, May 27.
