We wanted to send a message: 'Look at what you've done to her'
Amber Heard's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft says the statements made by Johnny Depp's attorney Adam Waldman - which are the reason Heard is countersuing Depp - "
took on a life of its own".
Ms Bredehoft says they have "
followed her everywhere" and that Heard has lost several work opportunities.
Aquaman was Heard's "
opportunity" her "
blockbuster", Ms Bredehoft says, but as it was coming out, "
everything shut down".
Heard's lawyer reminds the jury of previous testimony by an expert who predicted the actress's career trajectory, saying she could have earned up to $50m in the following years "
instead of her star being completely extinguished".
Ms Bredehoft says the jury also needs to consider "
emotional distress damages" and says these are "
even more extreme".
"
Every time she is called a liar... it causes her to relive all of it," Ms Bredehoft says.
She says this has "
destroyed" Heard's life and "
consumed her".
Speaking about trolling of the actress, the lawyer says: "
She's getting death threats. They're threatening to put her daughter in a microwave for God's sakes. She can't get away from this...
"
No human being should be put through this."
Ms Bredehoft tells the jury that when Depp sued for $50m, they wanted to "
send a message back" to sue for $100m "
because look at what you've done to her".
She tells the jury they are not necessarily being asked to award $100m but wants them to be "
fair and reasonable".
