The cross-examination by Heard’s attorneys followed two days of unopposed testimony by Depp, in which the actor portrayed Heard as the aggressor in their marriage.

Depp, 58, has accused Heard of defaming him with false accusations that ruined his reputation and career; Heard, 36, is counter-suing for $100m, claiming that she told the truth and that her opinion was protected free speech when she wrote that she was as a 'public figure representing domestic abuse' in a 2018 Washington Post article.
