Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial brought a lot of absurd and legendary situations along with some serious and tragic moments. Read here which moments attracted a lot of attention!
A sensational trial ended yesterday, Wednesday, June 1, 2022. In the end, Johnny Depp, 58, won not only the court case but also reputation. Although he also has to pay two million dollars in damages, the 15 million that Amber Heard, 36, now owes him more than make up for it. The whole world is talking about the outcome of the trial today, but let’s look back at the most incredible and bizarre moments in court over the past few weeks.
A “mega-pint” of red wine for Johnny Depp
For example, when the famous kitchen video comes up, in which Amber secretly filmed her ex swearing, angrily slamming the cupboards and obviously drinking too much. Amber’s attorney Ben Rottenborn then asks Johnny if he enjoyed “a mega pint of red wine”? This designation makes Johnny and the spectators in the court smile, who repeats with amusement: “A mega pint? I poured myself a large glass of wine. I thought it was necessary.” The expression “mega-pint” then caused all sorts of memes and remixes on the net.
Questions about Johnny Depp’s penis
Not only Johnny’s thirst for wine caused a lot of laughter, but also his genitals. His security guard, Starling Jenkins, was questioned about seeing Johnny Depp’s penis as he allegedly relieved himself in the foyer of his own home. When he answered, somewhat perplexed, “No”, there was boisterous laughter in the hall. Above all, Johnny himself broke down on his table laughing because his best piece was now the subject of the court.
Too Big Dog Poo by Amber Heard?
Things got even sleapier when it suddenly came down to a pile – a pile that Johnny says was made by Amber herself, who she placed in his bed in revenge for being late for her birthday party. However, Amber disagreed, stating that one of her dogs was to blame. But that’s exactly what Johnny wanted to refute by arguing that such a small dog as a Teacup Yorkie could never make such a big pile.
Speechlessness at the judge
The witness Alejandro Romero, who worked as a concierge in one of the buildings in which Depp owns several apartments, then caused the judge to be speechless. Apparently he didn’t have too much patience to wait for the survey and had himself connected via video – from his car. Romero calmly drove around, parked and even puffed on his e-cigarette with relish.
While Johnny smiled, the judge was flabbergasted: “I’ve seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen that.”
Lawyers Caught Between “Objection” and “Hearsay”
It became particularly absurd when, for a while, only two words seemed to be heard in court: “Objection” (“Objection”) and “Hearsay” (“Hearsay”).
But one of Amber Heard’s attorneys took it to the extreme one court day, objecting to his own question. Judge Penney Azcarate was also surprised: “Wait – you asked the question yourself.” Of course, this was a treat for Johnny and his lawyers, who looked at each other with a smile and puzzled.
It was similarly embarrassing for Amber’s attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, who was brought to her frustration with a seemingly never-ending stream of objections from Johnny’s attorney, Camille Vasquez, to which the judge agreed. “I’m trying here, I’m trying,” she said at some point in desperation and seemed speechless.
A romance between Johnny and his lawyer?
So while Amber Heard’s lawyers caused a lot of mockery on the internet, Johnny’s lawyer Camille Vasquez, who cross-examined Amber properly, became the real star of the process.
In the meantime, Camille Vasquez was even accused of a romance with Johnny Depp, which has not yet been confirmed. The tender gestures, hugs and looks were instead deemed purely calculated to make Johnny appear in a better light to the jury.
Kate Moss denies Amber’s allegations and saves Johnny
However, who actually counts among Johnny’s ex-girlfriends is Kate Moss, 48. When it was Amber herself who mentioned Kate Moss, Johnny’s lawyers cheered because they were able to put the model on the witness stand. Actually, it was probably already clear beforehand what a testimony by Kate Moss would result in, because in the past the 48-year-old always stood by her ex. So it’s no wonder that Kate contradicted that Johnny had pushed her down the stairs in the relationship. On the contrary, when she fell, Johnny came to her rescue, Kate said.
