Amber Heard returns to witness stand in defamation trial, claims she's receiving death threats

On Thursday, Amber Heard returned to the witness stand for a final plea in the ongoing defamation trial. During her testimony, the actor broke down in court and claimed that she is being 'harassed' and receiving constant death threats due to her legal battle with former husband Depp. She also said that people wish to put her 'baby in the microwave.'

'I am harassed, humiliated, threatened every single day. And even just walking into this courtroom, sitting here in front of the world, having the worst parts of my life, things 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,' she testified.

During the cross-examination, Heard was questioned if she expected British model Kate Moss to testify in favour of Depp. Heard responded that she knows how many people 'will come out of the woodwork to be in support of Johnny.'

Kate Moss, who dated Depp in the 90s, testified in court on Wednesday.

Holding back her tears, Heard described the ongoing trial as 'painful' and said that she wants to move on.

'I'm not sitting in this courtroom snickering. 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 he'd do this, I don't deserve this. I want to move on,' she said.

The 'Aquaman' actor also hopes to reclaim her voice after this lawsuit is over. She said as an American she has the right to tell her story.

On Thursday, Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard Gilbert, specializing in hand surgery, also testified in court. With X-rays of Depp's hand as evidence, he backed Depp's account of how his finger was injured during a fight with ex-wife Heard in 2015 in Australia.

'So a vodka bottle, which is a hard object, would have crushed the tip of the finger, resulting in the comminuted fracture. And in addition, as the vodka bottle broke, the glass would have lacerated the finger, resulting in the soft tissue loss that was also seen with this injury,' said Dr. Gilbert.

When questioned if he agreed with Heard's testimony that Depp injured his own finger when he punched a phone against a wall, Dr. Gilbert said it was 'highly unlikely.'

Amber Heard is being sued by her former husband Depp over a 2018 op-ed in Washington Post, in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse.
