Amber Heard: It's easy to forget that I'm human
Amber Herd says she felt humiliated and faced hundreds of daily death threats after testifying at the trial of Johnny Depp against her.
Speaking on the final day of the trial before her closing remarks, the actress said: "It may be easy to forget, but I am a human being."
Johnny Depp is suing the actress for her article in The Washington Post, in which she alluded that she was a victim of domestic violence, although I did not name her abuser, Depp's reference was obvious. He has repeatedly denied her allegations.
During more than a month of witnessing, jurors were presented with completely different versions of the incidents that took place during the couple's turbulent two years.
Both actors accused the other of being an aggressor in the relationship and called witnesses to testify on their behalf. Many witnesses called by Depp's team directly contradicted Hurd's claims.
"I know how many people will come out and say whatever, instead," Hurd told the court on Thursday. "It's his power. That's why I wrote the original text. "I was talking about that phenomenon."
Her testimony, she added, led to "hundreds" of death threats on a daily basis and forced her to "revive the trauma" of her marriage.
"This is horrible… this is humiliating for every human being and it may be easy to forget, but I am a human being," she said. "As I stand here today, I can not have a career. I can not even have people to hang out with me because of the threats and attacks they will have to endure.
The closing remarks will begin on Friday, followed by a jury decision.
