Amber Heard releases ‘Years’ of therapist’s notes that she says prove Johnny Depp abused her

 

Amber Heard isn’t backing down on her claims that ex-husband Johnny Depp abused her.

The Aquaman actress, 36, revealed in a 20-minute clip released by NBC’s Dateline on Thursday that she released years-worth of therapist’s notes detailing abusive acts she suffered at the hands of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, Depp. 

According to the clip, she handed over a “binder’s worth” of notes that “represented years, years of real-time explanations of what was going on,” dating all the way back to 2011. 

“There’s a binder worth of years of notes dating back to 2011 from the very beginning of my relationship that were taken by my doctor, who I was reporting the abuse to,” Heard said. 

According to Dateline, the documents, which are shown on-screen, detail one 2012 instance in which Depp allegedly “hit her, threw her against a wall and threatened to kill her.” 

Eight months after that, Depp allegedly “ripped her nightgown, threw her on the bed,” according to the program, and in 2013, he reportedly “threw her against a wall and threatened to kill her.” 

Heard’s legal team was unable to admit the documents into evidence in the highly publicized trial due to “hearsay.”

Meanwhile, in response to Heard’s interview with NBC, a spokesperson for Depp indicated to “Dateline” that the actor simply wants to “move forward” after he won his case.

"It’s unfortunate that while Johnny is looking to move forward with his life, the defendant and her team are back to repeating, reimagining and re-litigating matters that have already been decided by the Court and a verdict that was unanimously and unequivocally decided by the jury in Johnny’s favor,” they said in a statement. 

Depp, 59, sued Heard, 36, for defamation after the publication of a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she called herself a victim of domestic abuse.

On June 1, a jury found that the editorial was about the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor and awarded him $10 million in compensatory and $5 million in punitive damages. Heard received $2 million in compensatory damages for her own countersuit.
