VA - Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex Amber Heard, who countersued #5

[JackieP]

There's a video on youtube by popcorned planet where a neighbour of AH/JD was explaining that JF did not live in the building. It's a great video and the neighbour comes across as really genuine. You can find it if you type in 'neighbor spills tea' in the youtube search as I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post a link to it.

Thanks! I actually bookmarked Popcorn Planet last week when he went over the Australia recording.

According to Rocky, she and Amber are no longer friends

I feel like AH collected an "entourage" and moved them all into JD's properties. I think it made her feel powerful and famous. I believe she needed lots of yes men around her, despite all her talk of JD's staff and bodyguards, etc. being his "yes men" I think her "yes men" tired very quickly of her and are no longer her "close friends" anymore. JD on the other hand still has the same people around him (saving for the one whose name I can't recall who is now deceased).

to me, and I hope the jury, it speaks to AH not being a very good friend and unable to sustain long term relationships due to her own shortcomings (attacking them, screaming at them, etc.) JMO

FFS!!! Enough already about JD's drug use... Alcohol Johnny, Coke Johnny, Oxy Johnny, Weed Johnny... yappity yappity. AH on the stand has forced me to over-consume mega pints of ice cream like a flippin' monster, and I might have to move on to harder stuff.

Do not forget Quaalude Johnny.

Fights with Amber Heard

Amber Heard's former friend Rocky Pennington, who is giving evidence, lived in one of Johnny Depp's LA penthouses in 2014, along with her then husband Josh Drew.

Depp's lawyer Ms Vasquez asks her about any altercations she had with Heard, and she describes an argument she had with Heard over some wine glasses. She says "Heard thought I wasn't looking hard enough" and so they argued.

She is asked if she ever had a physical altercation with Heard, and she says yes. She's asked to describe it and says: "I believe I pushed her. She either pushed or hit me back. I think it was on my cheek."

'Now I can punch her in the face'

In his recorded deposition Amber Heard's former friend, iO Tillett Wright says he was "intimate with Johnny and J in the lead up to the wedding."

J, Johnny Depp's son, was Depp's best man at Depp and Heard's wedding.

Mr Tillett Wright says after he watched Depp and Heard get married, he and Depp walked together to the reception, and as he congratulated the actor, Depp said to him: "We're married now. Now I can punch her in the face and no one can do anything about it."

Nope. Nada. I don't believe by him.

The Hicksville trailer park trip

Amber Heard's former friend Rocky Pennington describes a trip to Hicksville with Depp and Heard in June 2013. She says other people on the trip were Whitney Heard who is Heard's sister, Nathan one of Depp's assistants, and two women called Britany E and Kelly M.

She says she witnessed Depp become "angry and aggressive" during an evening event around a campfire when on the trip. She says she had consumed mushrooms. She says it was there Depp became "angry and aggressive" with Kelly-S. She says she thinks Ms Molano had also consumed "an amount" of mushrooms.

Ms Pennington testifies she heard Depp say to Ms Molano: "Get off my woman". She says "I think Kelly and Amber were hugging on a chair by the fire. [Depp] came out of nowhere." She says after Depp became aggressive Heard was trying to calm him down. Heard has described Depp as being "in a rage" in her previous testimony.

Ms Pennington says she didn't hear yelling from Depp and Heard's trailer that night, but the next morning she saw "light fixtures knocked off" in the mobile home. She also says "it was in general disarray". When asked to elaborate she says: "It was trashed, it was torn apart".

I'm thinking that lip picture is assume sort of sore. Cold sore, maybe?

Is IOTW saying he had sex with JD and JD's son prior to the wedding? Because is son is 20 now.

This witness has a terrible attitude.

Agree that is a cold sore. At close examination you can see the blister.

Could be herpes simplex. The virus can cause cold sores or "fever blisters" on the tongue, lips, and/or insides of cheeks.

she also has a habit of picking at her lips. Here is a photo of her doing in court.

[Kiranerys]

Is it just me losing the will to live watching Rocky Pennington? She seems bored and oppositional and she has the same habit as AH, some things she answers instantly and others she is all "Um" and vague and thinking carefully about what she wants to say. So much attitude!

Even with friends I haven't spoken to in years, I would never say: we are not not friends. We don't speak...
What a specific choice of words.

He needs to be impeached.

IMO - these last two witnesses are uncomfortable possibly because they know that under this new fire, their statements may not hold up. Which could bring into question their previous testimony.

Prime example - “angry and aggressive/rage”, under CV’s fire we learn was allegedly JD saying get off my woman… Likewise with the trailer being “trashed”, she can only mention specifically a light fixture but otherwise it’s “disarray” which she can’t explain further. And gets pretty agitated about when pushed.

Neither has done AH many favours to my mind. And what’s the big secret re why RP is no longer a friend? Or rather, “not not a friend but not enemies”? Both of these witnesses I found painful to watch. Drawn out answers, not instinctive or natural, but carefully considered and peppered with memory loss.

As I say, all just IMO.

This witness has a terrible attitude.

RP looked like she hadn't slept in a week. She could barely sit up straight and seemed to be dozing off at times. Her demeanor was disrespectful. JMO

 

[rosesfromangels]

Amber may have had a 'cold sore' on her lip?

I do believe it is plausible that some of the injuries are real. HOWEVER, based on the testimony and evidence to date, it is my amateur opinion that she was likely the aggressor, and sustained injury in various tussles as he was defending himself.

Amateur opinion and speculation

She also kept sliding off camera.

 

[whitelilac]

RP testimony was like trying to get blood out of a rock. She came across as nearly hostile at being forced to talk about the past. The "friends" business was odd. Something happened between the two beyond the push, though I guess not really relevant.

I'm not clear on what that was all about.
Other than RP witnessing DP getting jealous with AH snuggling up with the friend.

She seemed somewhere between bored and hostile IMO.
