Hollywood star Amber Heard revealed that the notes made by her doctor would have made the jury side with her in the defamation case against Johnny Depp if the evidence was allowed to be presented in court.
"There's a year-over-year record since 2011 of the beginning of my relationship that my doctor made," Heard said during an interview on NBC's Dateline TV program, quoted by The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday.
In an interview with host Savannah Guthrie that aired on Friday (17/6/2022) local time, Amber Heard said the note would corroborate claims that Depp abused her.
He said it also included an incident in 2013 in which he told the therapist that Depp had thrown him against a wall and threatened to kill him.
“I talk about what happened to me in real time. He (the therapist) made notes about what happened at that time," Heard said as quoted by Antara, Sunday (19/6/2022).
The records, reviewed by NBC, said Heard talked about physical abuse in 2012 and Heard told his therapist in January of the same year that Depp beat him and threw him on the floor.
Eight months later, the note stated that Depp tore Heard's nightgown and threw it on the bed.
Judge Penney Azcarate has ruled the notes are "rumor" and refused to present them as evidence at trial.
Heard also took issue with a textual evidence that was not allowed to appear in court. In a text message to his father, he wrote that Depp "kicked me in front of everyone".
Heard referred to an altercation at the trial in which he claimed that Depp was drunk and verbally and physically abused him.
A spokesperson for Depp told NBC News that it regretted Heard reinstating matters that the court had unanimously decided.
Meanwhile, to The Hollywood Reporter, a spokesman for Heard responded that his party recommended that Depp also be interviewed by Savannah Guthrie for an hour if Depp's side had problems with Heard's claims.
Earlier on June 1 local time, the jury decided to side with Depp and agreed with all of Depp's claims related to defamation in Heard's article in The Washington Post in which Heard called himself a victim of domestic violence. After the verdict, Heard plans to appeal. /suara.com
